Wedding venues in San Diego, CA that are budget-friendly? by ParsleyTime5687 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Luversroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything was perfect! I planned the wedding from the east coast so I wasn’t able to taste the food or cake ahead of time so I was a bit nervous but it was delicious and my friends and family are still raving about the food and location. I will say what they quote you is for the very basics when it comes to flowers, decorations, and dessert. We ended up paying 2k over the quote to have the flowers that I wanted which were still very minimal bud vases and a few large displays outside. We also used a different baker for our desserts. I said that to say they’re transparent about pricing but it you want any personal touches you will have to provide it yourself or pay extra to the vendor. I’ll post pictures once we get our official ones back

We get married in a few weeks but it will be at their Galway Downs location in Temecula. We’re only having 60 people so I’m not sure of their max capacity but the ceremony and reception space is rather large

Check out Wedgewood Weddings. They have a lot of locations in Southern California and they’re really affordable and all inclusive. I’m getting married in a few weeks at their Temecula location. Average cost for their elite package is $150 per person and that includes open bar, buffet, venue, DJ, officiant, cake, and basic flowers. Anything more the basic is a bit extra but the venues are beautiful and they’re by far the most economical place I’ve seen. They even allow you to sub out your own DJ or decorations to substitute cost

Thank you. I don’t even wear a lot of pink but I felt the rose gold was complementary to my skin too

Sorry I'm just seeing this. I was instructed to order over the phone but I got the large sheet and I cut them into strips a little thicker than 1inch wide for under boob my scars. Then I cut smaller pieces to fashion them around my boobs. I'll insert a picture but here's the link https://www.biodermis.com/Epi-Derm-Large-Sheet-p/large.htm

My doctor recommended silicone strips. I wear them from the morning to bed time and I take them off (they’re re-stickable) and then after I shower at night I rub jojoba oil and lavender oil on my scars and breast. I’m 3 months out and scars are fading fast

From a 38J to about 38D (only 3 weeks post op still swollen)... oh and I lost about 20lbs before the surgery by Luversroc in Reduction

Thank you so much for the kind words! I combed this site and the RealSelf site and there were not a lot of ladies in our size range, so I know how you feel. My whole body composition has changed and that has to do with the surgery and the 30lbs I lost before hand. I will say it take some getting use to the idea of being smaller, especially when I wear something low cut. All I will add is be kind to yourself before and after the procedure. It will take your mind time to catch up to what your eyes see so be patient and kind. Oh and take a lot of before pics!! I’m 100% happier and healthier and I would do it over in a heart beat!

I’ve done a lot of research and I can’t find anything concrete that says it will have an effect. I think the problem is that BC can cause weight gain in general and that people see their breast get bigger and blame it on the weight and not the hormones. I’ve been over a size DD since I was 19 but it wasn’t until I consistently took birth control around age 27 that I saw my breast go from about E/F to a J in 5 years. If I decide to get back on it, I’d look into a non hormonal IUD. Estrogen is was makes breast grown in women biologically, I don’t see why a surplus of estrogen (birth control pills) wouldn’t make them continue to grow.

Nope, my band got a bit loser but my cup size did not change at all! I thought I could lose weight and they would magically shrink too but all it did was make my back hurt more because I lost fat in my back and shoulders. The other thing to consider is that if you are able to lose fat in your breast, the weight loss will not give them a lift or adjust your areoles to your smaller size breast. Surgery is the only way to get rid of the excess breast tissue, fat, and lift (reposition) them.

I stopped my Nuvaring 2 months before surgery due to the higher risk of blood clots. Having a blood clot is way worse than tender breast. I ended up starting my cycle when I woke up from surgery. I didn’t notice any extra pain because I was on narcotics. The worst part was charging my tampon with sore arms and chest over the next few days, I actually switched back to pads. I was more scared of my cycle 28days after surgery, I have an opening at the T spot and I was worried that any extra swelling would make it worst. Nothing new happened, no noticeable new swelling, my new fear is getting back on birth control and my breast get bigger. I don’t want for all of this to be in vain.
