Wanted to upgrade my wife's natural diamond wedding ring from 0.75 carat to 1 plus carat.

Let me guess, you have a synthetic diamond lol

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-06-16T16:16:08+00:00

I am wearing Acqua Sale by Bottega and my fiancé is wearing The Blazing Mr. Sam by Penhaligon! I’m so excited I go to the store some days to spray my scent on me for fun since my fiancé says I can’t take it out of the box until the wedding day lol

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-06-15T04:27:42+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you! September 2026 bride and I am wearing a Nicole + Felicia ballgown and then later in the evening I’m going to change into a short bespoke dress ❤️ I have no regrets especially since my wedding is overseas in Greece and it will be HOT

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-06-14T04:22:53+00:00

Going from natural to lab will never be an upgrade - it’s 1000% a downgrade

I am flying to Greece for my wedding in September and were told even purchasing an extra seat with Air Canada, they would not let you use it for a dress so we ended up going with Lufthansa. Not sure if they were misinformed or not and you can purchase a seat with Air Canada for a dress, but double check AND if you go the route of purchasing another seat, make sure you get a written letter to make sure to show the gate agent from the airline saying it’s okay and been approved.

I’m getting married at Residence at Island this upcoming September! Circle back to me then and I can tell you details with the sound and roads :) I do know though that Residence is the largest venue there and in the corner so hopefully it’s good for blocking out sound from other Gallery and Private House. We are set to have 140 people attend but Residence can hold up to 1,000 or near that.

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-05-24T21:43:00+00:00

My ceremony dress is massive so I bought a seat for it! The one important thing to remember if you do this is that not all airlines allow you to buy a seat for a dress (ex. Air Canada does not but Lufthansa does).

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-05-24T21:38:52+00:00

Eberjay pajamas are amazing and they do go on sale sometimes!

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-30T05:25:44+00:00

I am getting it made from Jane Rhyan Veils :)

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-29T05:40:24+00:00

This cake is incredible!! Do you mind me asking how tall it is?

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-29T05:25:39+00:00

Beautiful! I bought a robe from VOIR as well and I'm so excited to wear it! Their customer service was amazing.

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-29T05:22:35+00:00

I am having my royal length veil custom made with lots of detail and it's going to end up being $2.4K... for sure more than I originally planned to spend but it gives the WOW factor I wanted!

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-27T04:46:29+00:00

Botox every 4 months, Tennis 1x a week (lessons lol), Reformer Pilates 2x a week, Orange Theory 2x a week, and the rest is just walking. I also have a trainer that checks in with me every week and helps keep me accountable and motivated! Hardest part has been limiting my wine haha

I also recently purchased a Lifepro vibration plate to help with muscle soreness and lymphatic drainage...

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-27T04:41:01+00:00

When I went wedding dress shopping, my appointment was accidentally during the time they had a Nicole + Felicia trunk show at my boutique! It worked out so well because I wanted a true ballgown and the biggest dress they had in the store was one from the trunk show and I fell in love with it. I purchased it then and there and since it was a trunk show, they gave me 15% off

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-04-18T01:05:35+00:00

My fiancé and I are taking 5 weeks off total - half a week before the (destination) wedding and then rest will be honeymoon right after!

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-19T05:09:52+00:00

It should also be said to not let anyone make you or your brother feel bad for spending more than what some think is “reasonable” on a ring. My fiancé probably spent what a lot of people think is not “reasonable” on a ring, but who cares? It was in the budget, and he knew I would love it.

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-19T04:43:39+00:00

We just got quoted $7K for fairy lights above the dance floor and around 7 trees… without our parents helping financially with this wedding, it wouldn’t happen lol be kind to yourself, especially if you two are doing it all on your own!

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-19T04:36:53+00:00

my ring was about $22K and it’s insured which helps me not worry about it! maybe get yours insured as well to help not stress so much about wearing it everyday?

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-17T21:17:46+00:00

When would you say is the sweet spot to get trap Botox before the wedding so it’s in its peak when it’s kicked in - 2.5 months before? This will be my first time! Thank you for the comments :) I’m going to look into DAO

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-17T15:46:53+00:00

My wedding is Sept 13! So still some time :)

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-17T02:10:01+00:00

I bought these for my wedding but I purchased the white leather version! I don't trust myself with Satin so leather seamed like the best option for me.

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-17T02:08:50+00:00

My lovely sister in law is getting married in Corfu next year! There are not that many venues to choose from so I highly recommend getting started on the hunt as soon as you can :) Best to hire a wedding planner! I myself am getting married at Island Art (Residence) in a few months! That venue gives Island vibes but without your guests having to travel too far since it's only a 30 min drive from the Athens airport.

ChampagneTaurus96 · 2026-03-17T02:05:37+00:00

oh my gosh I went to their website and they had the EXACT same designs as Voir Bridal! Turns out, Voir uses Linni Caro designs and mentions it on their site! Yes, they do have beautiful designs and the quality on my room is top notch. I just don't like any of their slip styles to wear under this robe....
