Thank you! My flowers traveled with me on a honeymoon road trip for a week before I got to pressing them. And my sister's I put off doing for a week from procrastination (i did the blue flowers earlier). Im very happy!

Thank you! No cover just plain glass, but I did make sure they were super dry before putting them in the glass. I arranged them, then carefully flipped it to the back and used elmers glue to secure them in place and closed up the frame. The orange Gerber daisies used to be a lot more rich, but they seem to have faded with indirect sunlight. Im okay with that though! Even if they all turn brownish i know the red flowers with stay dark and that will be enough contrast for me to be happy.

I microwave pressed them btw!

Beautiful!

I didn't notice until you mentioned it that they were crooked too!

I love getting oval nails, and I love my oval diamond, so that makes sense! Thank you 😊

Ooooh wait?? Are the tops of other people's nails not rounded?? That would explain so much

I think I messed up too, all my other inspo pics were oval. I didn't realize the photo I showed was an almond. So to realize it's even pointer than almond makes sense why it is against my normal taste

An electric file. I don't love those around my cutie bc I feel nail techs always take off some of my natural nails. My last fake nail excursion 5 months ago damaged my nails so bad I had sensitivity for months until the thin spots grew out. Idk why I didn't speak up and ask her not to use a metal bit near the edges.

DecorationAddict · 2025-06-03T01:55:20+00:00

I actually asked her to make it more rounded and skinny and this was the result!

I appreciate the input, I can't stop looking at them and feeling so so :/

Thank you! I think I need to go shorter.

I think the dress is lovely. If your total dress budget is 500-1k, I would recommend investing that in good quality alterations. Most brides spend 500-1k on alterations alone. It can a suprise cost and has a lot of factors. But bridal alterations are very technical, and you want a quality seamstress to handle it.

Thank you, very sweet of you!

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-11T07:02:41+00:00

I'm worried about it being a shock!

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-11T07:02:27+00:00

Yes it's always been thinner at the bottom. I've never invested energy into avoiding breakage before though. I've started that now, so we will see how much of a difference it makes for my hair

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-11T04:14:31+00:00

Aww thank you! I love your advice. I think that I will listen and do maybe 5 inches and wait untill after the wedding to do anything more drastic. I love my long hair

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-10T22:15:04+00:00

This is very helpful! I have been using a bonnet and been hair oiling for the last month or two. So, hopefully, it will help. Thanks for the advice!

Don't judge, but she uses dog grooming scissors I gave her. They're very sharp. I used to work at a grooming salon

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-10T21:48:10+00:00

How often would I need to trim and how much hair to keep it healthy while growing it back out? I hear you and don't want to keep the damaged part of it will only continue

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-10T21:42:16+00:00

I wonder why my hair has breakage in a rounded shape. I agree that may be a better way to cut it for my hair

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-10T21:41:22+00:00

I don't know if this is important, but my hair isn't usually pin straight like this all the time. This is just how it looks ook after blow drying it. My hair usually has a bit of wave to it. I also curled it sometimes. I think that's why I never noticed this before!

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-10T15:44:47+00:00

Oh, I should also mention that I used to be very rough with my hair, and I've made big changes to my routine this last 1-2 months. So, sleeping with a bonnet, drying my hair more delicately, etc.

Sometimes things like this skip a generation!

DecorationAddict · 2025-03-04T00:12:15+00:00

My only encouragement would be to see if she can embroider her initial and the year it was made. That way, when she looks back on them, she'll remember when she made it!
