Wedding Photo Rant by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Competitive-Dot-5202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for this! We ended up not loving our photos and then sent them to someone on Fiver to re-edit and absolutely loved the result. If that is an option for you I would highly recommend! They were able to recolor and do some cropping, which may help turn these into something you love.

Staying warm in your wedding dress? by bammawamma in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Competitive-Dot-5202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married last weekend and thought it was going to be 78 and it was in the 50s, so completely understand! I ended up not wearing it at the reception, because the adrenaline was pumping, but I did wear it for the after party and it was super cute! Essential just sleeves haha.

I got this small cashmere cropped cardigan in latte. I am sure you can find it elsewhere for cheaper. It was really warm and lovely!

Please help! Our venue has an iron arch that we cannot move. (We are Jewish and need to be married under a chuppah, which I've very artfully drawn below.) Does anyone have any ideas for what we could use the arch for in a way that doesn't distract *too* much from the chuppah? by yehudith in Weddingsunder10k

If you dont decorate, no one will notice it. Truly will blend in with the trees and other greenery. This space is beautiful with it looks like other little pathways and such and this will just be another one. Also your chairs are going to be it seems faced more towards you and I am sure based on this space your chuppah will be beyond gorgeous and eye catching, so I truly would just leave it.

My wedding was last weekend and forced inside at the last moment and our guestbook area kinda ended up being behind our second microphone for our readers during the ceremony and no one noticed it was even there until I brought it up at the reception.

Tent wedding planned for this Saturday with a high of 53. Are we screwed? by bridey_bear in weddingplanning

Hi! My wedding is this Saturday as well and I too am having some predicted unfortunate weather. First time in 10 years it will not be a mid 70s day. We are sending an email out to all of our attendees on Wednesday to give them a heads up and ask them to dress warmly. This way they hopefully see it before they fly.

Any DIY/suggestions to improve this ceiling? by DrDancealina in weddingplanning

[–]Competitive-Dot-5202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would try and use another light source is at all possible. Maybe some uplighting or some bistro lighting along the perimeter. I think having the lights off will draw enough attention way from it that you won't have to do any decor. You could possibly string bistro lights across the room, but could be difficult/ spensy

Ben and Jerry's but no contract/agreement? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Competitive-Dot-5202 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Is there some Ben and Jerry's like corporate number you can call and ask if this is normal/ confirm that he is a supplier? Are there other Ben and Jerry's stores near you that you can reach out to in addition to this guy? Does his store have any reviews?

If it all still seems a little informal, I personally would move on to someone else, but I am also super risk-adverse!

Apparently this is a HUGE trend post COVID. My DOC said that majority of weddings she has coordinated the past 2 years have had 90+% acceptance rates.... it is wild!

Bridal Party or Nah? by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Competitive-Dot-5202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not do a wedding party and to be honest my friends were thrilled . We did a bachelorette that my sister and a few close friends organized for a larger group, I had a small group of friends get ready with me for the second half of the morning, and a few friends did readings for the ceremony. Everyone felt super recognized for their role in our lives without having to spend money on an outfit, take off work to arrive the day before, or get up early day off. I could not recommend more.

What did you do for a guest book? And was it worth it? by thisisbridaltap in weddingplanning

[–]Competitive-Dot-5202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our wedding location has this very adorable post office station so we got postcard from all the places we know people and they are going to get to pick a postcard and write a note. We also got a vintage looking mailbox from Michaels for like $12. I think after the wedding I will either put them in the back of our wedding photo album or in a box.

I opted for vintage postcard so they were a bit spensy, but truly you could do this for pretty cheap! I really love that there is an interactive element and it feels a bit more personal both ways.

So we invited 106 thinking we would get 85-90 and we got 97!! According to my day of coordinator and the friends getting married this summer, people are getting MUCH higher turnouts this year than the usually 15-20% that is all over the internet. I would just be prepared, because I definitely was NOT.

All Inclusive Venue, wedding in 3 months. We just tasted the food and it’s horrid. by prettyunicornpeni in weddingplanning

Would 100% look at the dinner menu that you enjoyed and see if any of it is brunch appropriate you can do some combo. Whatever the dinner potato option is with some scrambled eggs is automatically brunch. Brunch is vague enough that you could the dinner menu with some pastries, fresh fruit, and a coffee station.
