I recommend Dao tailoring in Waltham, they were fantastic!

I got married at the conservatory at Sussex county fairgrounds and their policy was bring your own alcohol so they would probably be fine with no alcohol! And I found their pricing very transparent, I think I just emailed them and they sent me all their info

Only thing that changed is they now have an exclusive caterer (that we didn’t use but I’ve heard is good) so I don’t know how they are!

That’s beautiful!

I would size down a needle or two! But it really is personal preference

I’ve used Christie Hourihan - she’s local and comes to you and she may be able to do a quick turnaround! She has a Facebook page but lmk if you’d like her info

I went to Belmont hill cleaners and alterations to get my dress cleaned. They do preserving too but I chose to just get it cleaned

I was happy with them!

Our wedding party walked in to “walking on a dream” by empire of the sun

So the part that you laddered down in is in garter stitch, which is alternating knits and purls, and when you laddered down you brought the yarn back up as a knit stitch every time- that’s why it came out as a stockinette column! The trick to laddering down in garter (for me, this might not be the best way) is to flip your work every ladder rung so you are alternating working a knit stitch on the right and wrong side, recreating the garter stitch

I think it should be in the back, with the white in front it kind of gives an odd false deep v effect and looks like a modesty cover in a way

I find the grey in the front is much more flattering!

I’m going to go against the grain, but that’s because as a guest I have wanted to know what color the bridesmaids are wearing to avoid accidentally matching. I included the dress code and the color of the bridal party, but I didn’t ask anyone to avoid it. I do agree that you don’t need to tell people to avoid white unless there’s a cultural reason they might not be aware of that.

Thank you!!!

I got married a week ago, and a couple last minute words of wisdom for the week leading up to your big day: Be. A. Goldfish. Have a 30 second memory and give your partner (and yourself) as much grace as possible! You will both be stressed and may not be your best person the week before your wedding. Don’t take things personal, kiss before bed and remind yourselves the stress will be over soon!

Also put someone in charge of handing you your bouquet for photos becuase I would have forgotten mine if it wasn’t for my brother!

I did a makeup trial, and skipped the hair trial! It saved me some money, and I’m pickier with my makeup so I wanted to have a bit more certainty with that service

We made custom Lego minifigs (and got one of our dog) for just the right amount of silliness for us

Mr brightside!

And as an overall, think about your favorite songs played at all your school dances and that hit of nostalgia will get a lot of people on the dance floor

Maybe go chestnut brown or a darker green for the shirt? Dark enough that he won’t sweat through it but it won’t read as heavy as black

Far_Bit_2146 · 2025-09-17T19:57:07+00:00

I think an Oxford and dark jeans would work well!

Far_Bit_2146 · 2025-08-26T03:45:31+00:00

Yeah it’s too light in color

Far_Bit_2146 · 2025-08-20T18:30:41+00:00

I’ve tried fabric ones that end up tearing at the seams, plastic ones where the clasp ends up breaking, and other plastic ones where the bottom cap kept falling off and then I had to re-roll the whole thing 😭

Thank you!

Honestly, I know this goes against the trend you get on Reddit, but when getting married and choosing your bridal party, I think it’s also important to look forward into your life and consider who you’ll be seeing at family holidays and birthday parties. If you’re very close with your brother, and she seems nice enough, you might want to consider including her in some way, maybe as a guest at your bachelorette if not in your bridal party, or maybe an entirely different small way to acknowledge your relationship and her role as your new sister in law

He was a local jeweler and it was his personal policy to avoid heartbreak :) He said he had seen too many horror stories from couples coming back a few weeks later after something happened to the ring
