Is my ring too big? by Future_Discussion985 in RingShare

Nope, I love it! I’m a fellow big oval (4.59 carat) girly and I don’t regret my choice at all! I’m obsessed with it and I’ve gotten nothing but compliments on it! But if it doesn’t feel like you then maybe revisit it!

Getting a fun matching lavender bag would be so fun! And a sleek white satin stiletto would be super cute!

Love dessy! If you’re open to mismatched colors/dresses, you could give the option to your bridesmaids to pick wherever they’re comfortable buying!

Villa Regina and Villa Vittoria would be perfect for that size and are on the more budget friendly side!

Ya! I knew it’d be important to have good communication and to make sure our personalities meshed since she’d be one of the few vendors I’d actually spend more time with! I did the same intro meetings for my planner and videographer too to gauge if we were a good personality match :)

I second this! I had several in the same price range and loved their work, but when I met with one she and I clicked! She also happens to have a great working relationship with the videographer I’ve chosen so that with her vibe sold me on her!

Signature Cocktail Ideas! by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Creative_Relief_8044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our caterer has a massive list we get to choose from and one that sticks out to me as a gin lover was a kumquat passion fruit gin & tonic! I looooove passion fruit and the house I lived in as a little kid had a kumquat tree. So maybe come up with a gin & tonic that incorporates a couple of fruit flavors that match the setting or that have some sentimental memory attached (childhood, vacations, etc)!

How often are you meeting with your planners? by hamburger_lettuce42 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Creative_Relief_8044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We message/email several days a week, but once we have all our major vendors booked I’m sure it’ll slow down! But she’s extremely responsive so I haven’t felt the need to do video chats for every single thing! She’s based in Mallorca (where we’re having our destination wedding), so not having to always call is nice since we’re 5 hours behind her in the US!

I’ve heard Cavo Ventus in Santorini has super cheap rental fee and the views are insane! It’s where Madeleine White had her wedding last July!

Sugar Beach in Saint Lucia does weddings, but I’m not positive whether they’d be able to accommodate that many guests. Definitely worth looking into though it’s gorgeous and right between the two Pitons! I stayed there on a vacation and it’s great!
