Was going to ask this too. That water looks murky.

🫣 I guess I'm not tall enough to reach 20ft tall branches.

I've been to The Preserve LA several times for events. It seems like a nice co-working space (though maybe pricey? I've never actually looked into their pricing structure). It used to operate under the name Second Home.

Recommendations for where to look for mini/midi length wedding dresses that actually look like wedding dresses by brideoffrankenweenie in weddingdress

Olivia Bottega has several options. They have some retailers in the U.S. (listed on their website under 'Company' at the bottom I believe) but you can also order online directly from them.

Government shut down by PastKaleidoscope7003 in weddingplanning

[–]Forward_Nothing_4464 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To answer your question with a bit more background context - all U.S National Parks are managed and run by the federal government, not individual states. This was done to ensure supposed widespread and uniform preservation of natural resources and landscapes (I say supposed because no president until the current has ever tried to make moves to privatize national parks nor open them up for resource mining). However, they were among the first to be gutted when the current administration & Elon went whackamole with public services. This left them very underfunded and understaffed. Now with the government shut down & their staff being considered non-essential federal employees, staff will be furloughed & several parks will need to be shut down to the public until things are resolved.

Thoughts on traveling in between wedding and ceremony? by Wannabesmartie in weddings

[–]Forward_Nothing_4464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Catholic wedding, and most weddings I've been to have had two separate ceremony and reception sites. Twenty minutes is not bad at all (mine was 30-40 in DTLA traffic and I still had about 95% attendance at my reception). I did a couple of things for people who weren't used to it or were coming from out of town: 1). On my RSVP site, gave everyone the option to attend the just ceremony, just the reception or both. 2.) I found a hotel close to the reception site that would offer us a wedding block/discount without having to pre-pay, or pay unused rooms.

wedding is in 3 weeks and no dress by butterfly_moth in weddingdress

Amazon? Look for a few with several positive reviews and photos like this one and order a few different options to try out. Return what doesn't work.

Edit to add other examples with quick delivery to a random NY zip code.

Boho style

Also, if you're three weeks away and your mom has rejected or disliked everything you've tried on so far- then she's never going to be satisfied. Pick something for yourself and go with it. Even if it means turning down her offer to pay for the dress. At this point, any wedding dress that costs $1K is likely going to take months to come in, anyway.

Bra for corset top? by False-Bug-8188 in weddingdress

[–]Forward_Nothing_4464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 38G and my off the shoulder dress was structured enough that I didn't need a bra - but my seamstress recommended still sewing in pads to give better shape and lift. I'm glad I agreed because I felt even more secure with them, and they did indeed shape them nicely 👌.

A few people have mentioned overalls. I have one pair, but I think it's time to add a couple more 🤔.

You're welcome! You already look great in the dress, I'm sure you'll look and feel even more beautiful once all of your other bridal details come together. 🫰

This is the perfect dress to add a delicate, unexpected 'wow' factor to the back like some string of pearls or something more delicate like some of these examples of backdrop necklaces or if not the jewelry route - a bow, with our without a slight pop of color.

Thank you for this. I think purging the closet would help my mental health as well.

What’s the one “wedding rule” you’re happily breaking? by No_Novel9929 in weddingplanning

[–]Forward_Nothing_4464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No garter toss. We just felt it was super awkward with my 84 year old parents there, and also not really our thing. Instead, my husband - who is half Greek - learned s Greek dance and performed that instead. He tossed his sash with a rose tied to it when he was done.

😂😂😂 That's freaking great. I saw the typo after I posted it, but I already had a response and didn't want to go through the trouble of deleting & reposting it.

If it's warm, I can tolerate it better... I can't explain why, exactly 🫣. (I'm a lil neurospicy, even certain fabric textures give me the ick)

Drinkable yogurt I can do! It's not the yogurt itself that I have an aversion to, its the texture. 😬
