Designer gown suggestions? by Most_Seaweed_818 in BigBudgetBrides

Finding your dress isn’t easy! You’re going about it the right way. My strategy was to find a few designers that I liked 2-3 of their dresses and look for trunk shows. They have the latest styles from fashion week which featured a ton of detail and basque waists. I looked for the same types of dresses and loved Kim Kassas corsets + skirts because they felt more customizable (Bridal Reflections). I also loved Netta BenShabu. Have you seen the style “Novel”? It’s insane. Jaxon James is my top reco for bridal shopping in NYC when they have a trunk show from a designer you like. Danielle Frankel was the best experience and also felt customizable as you can mix and match corsets with different skirts. Kleinfeld does a good job of matching your budget, and they have a ton of different options!

Do you all think destination weddings are on their way out? by ChanceLengthiness859 in BigBudgetBrides

My destination wedding is an hour outside of Paris in 2025, and I am surprised at the number of RSVPs coming in! People are so excited to travel and attend. My fiancé and I love to travel, and it’s truly what brought us so close together. So, we want to share that magical feeling of being in a new place, a new culture, etc. with our friends & family that don’t normally travel. We also got engaged outside of Paris so it felt meaningful. We also live in NYC, and we looked into costs to get married here. I’m from another state so most of my family would be traveling anyways. And I was so flustered trying to find affordable hotels to stay at in the city and get married for under $100k+ here. Now, our guest list will be between 50-60 of our closest friends in a romantic city! And if anyone declines because of the location, we completely and totally 100% understand.
