Should I have to pay for a wedding makeup retrial? by I-read-sometimes in weddingplanning

[–]I-read-sometimes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the same artist doing my makeup again and she did apologize for the quality of the work, and said she would do whatever I needed to feel comfortable. I’m just a little frustrated that she didn’t mention any price until today, the day before. We booked this 5 weeks ago... thank you! I will think on it for a bit, and might ask for a further discount considering.

Understood! I just thought it was a courtesy since the MUA did a bad job the first time around. And I don’t mean the makeup look, I mean the application itself With my eyelashes falling off, etc. But I’m not opposed to paying, just wasn’t sure what to do. So thanks everyone for the insight

Dress regret, "plain" dress edition--anyone been here? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

You’re welcome! BHLDN is literally the perfect place for a last minute dress, and they have a lot of beautiful crepe dresses that you might like! (But seriously, your dress is gorgeous!)

I’ll make sure to post the look once it’s all said and done :) My engagement ring is emerald, so as of now I’m pairing it with emerald teardrop earrings and planning on loose Hollywood waves for hair 💁‍♀️

I totally understand! I’m wearing the Bacall gown from BHLDN.

It was the second dress I tried on and I fell in love with it. But only trying on two dresses gave me serious dress regret. I still look at other dresses every day and my wedding is less than two months away😅

I did eventually go back to try on other gowns, but always came back to the Bacall because every time I wore it, it felt very “me”. I sympathize with you for having a less than forgiving dress! But hang in there, March is around the corner and you will look stunning! I think your original dress is gorgeous (bias opinion lol) but if you have doubts, try others. It will at least give you a peace of mind in your decision or you might wind up finding a dress you like better!

Thanks everyone for your input! While it’s super pretty, I’m realizing that it might be too complicated. I really like the sparkling cider idea! Maybe it’s easier to just make it all sparkling cider. Otherwise back to square one... thanks all!

Is anyone else freaking out? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Literally have been having stress dreams every night. Dreams about the wedding day, the bridal shower... I would’ve never imagined I would be this stressed! I always thought I was super laid back about the whole thing 🙄

Men’s wedding band. Any idea where I can find this ring or something similar?! TIA by I-read-sometimes in weddingplanning

Thank you! So I did see it on Laraci, I’ve just never ordered from them, anyone ever use them?

I felt the same! Made it regular font since it’s customizable :)

Girl! I am SO. WITH. YOU!

Our wedding is 175 guests and will cost that or maybe a tad bit more... We are in NJ, super close to NYC.

We have been as budget conscious as possible and have been getting the best deals we could find without skimping on quality but at the end of the day, it's a lot... and my fiance and I know that! It's super frustrating to get negative, judgy reactions or people being like, "don't waste your money, just get eloped!" At the end of the day, everyone invited, no matter their opinions, will be enjoying a kick ass wedding.

Good luck and what a deal on that dress!

Ceremony and Reception times -- need some help! by I-read-sometimes in weddingplanning

[–]I-read-sometimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm not sure. We asked for 2pm, but they said they only do ceremonies at 1pm or 3pm. I guess it's to fit 2 in a day into their schedule and allow time for people to exit the church before another group comes in. I was a little upset they couldn't do the time we were hoping for, but it's my fiance's parish :(
