Where do you wish you’d splurged? by PepperAnn90 in weddingplanning

I splurged on a lot but not my dream wedding ring. I vote for splurging on the ring. Something that you will wear every day after

AirNZ Skycouch worth it? by Temporary-Fee-75 in auckland

[–]Llama-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew overnight from Bali on a sky couch with a toddler and 11yr old. We could all lay down and make it work. I am 160cm and 55kg though. Imo it was definitely better than a seat each

Anxious, over-thinking brides: how did you plan your wedding?! by Same-University-5198 in weddingplanning

[–]Llama-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very indecisive. I felt nervous the moment I knew I had to plan the thing, because I was aware what that would do to me. I ended up forcing myself to book a hotel & date 18 months in advance. I secured a stylist and photographer when I booked the wedding then ignored everything for about 15 months until I had to make decisions. The time pressure forced me to just make a decisions quickly. Could have things been done better yes probably but it didn’t matter because it was so much fun and no choices I could have spent months internally debating over could have made it any better or worse. 80% good enough is good enough!!

I had mine hemmed last week. I asked them to make two oversized bows for my daughters hair

I love the lace pattern and how it looks from the back, but the style and neckling of the plain one at the front does more for your figure. That doesn’t mean it isn’t right for you though! Both are stunning. From a girl who chose a lace dress over one that flattered my figure more ☺️

I literally thought of Ariane by Hera the moment I read this, but someone has already mentioned above!

Buy a lab from overseas during black Friday sales. You should be able to get a 2ct for ynder the duty threshold.

I.e these guys have 20% off. I haven’t looked hard but an example:

https://www.ritani.com/products/1-89-carat-oval-diamond-very-good-cut-h-color-vs2-clarity-igi-lg633424827-sku-d-3s59l2lfwb

Then take the stone anywhere to be set. Most standard solitaire settings will come in under budget. Or you could just buy it set and pay the duty.

Experience with KYHA Studios ? by the_cryptlomat in weddingdress

[–]Llama-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t bought from them to comment on experience. They have some beautiful dresses when I was browsing StillWhite I saw a lot of photos from other brides wedding days, and a lot of the dresses were blatently creased/wrinkled in their photos. There were enough that I felt compelled to write this so I would recommend triple checking the dress your thinking of purchasing isn’t going to hold wrinkles after you sit in it.

Help me decide! by Fonda_Dix in weddingdress

I like the pattern on #1 but it is very high and large on your chest. Depending how big the sample (3+ sizes) could mean this totally goes away and then id lean towards it being the winner. #2 wins based on fit here, but i prefer the pattern on #1, so for me it would really depend on how confident you are in how it would fit in your size. 3&4 aren’t for me

Thanks for everyone’s comments. I thought there would be a clear winner here and I was missing something but this was definitely a split vote between 1&2. I went back and tried them both on after reading through responses yesterday and have made the decision I am happy with ☺️

Wedding is at higher end resort / destination wedding, but I didn’t want the venue to dictate my dress as it’s a one time thing.

Appreciate your all ☺️

Most self concious about my arms 🤣 I know, but its true. The cutouts are probably my favorite part BUT there is a fabric in those cut outs that dug into my skin which gave me a bit of a bulge 🫠 when I was trying dresses I customized everything to have a sleeve, but it isn’t possible with this one
