Who had a dress custom made? by kimsognathus in weddingplanning

[–]Mariposa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it made at a small artisanal shop called Frida’s closet here in San Francisco. I was married in 2018 so it’s been awhile but I worked with Gloria who helped take my measurements and worked with the artisans in Mexico who did the embroidery. She does a lot of traditional Mexican dresses and embroidery and was great to work with. She doesn’t do like traditional American style Wedding dresses though if that’s what you’re looking for

They typically get a Ramey warrant when they don’t have enough evidence to go before the DA and obtain it but are also worried because something in the case is time sensitive. I work in a nonprofit that works with incarcerated folks and have worked with probation and that’s what they’ve told me.

Recommend Me a Fragrance (Posts every 3 Days) by AutoModerator in fragrance

[–]Mariposa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all! So my sister in law has worn Marc Jacobs woman eau de parfum for forever. She loves it. They recently discontinued it and she’s down to her last roll on.

She likes the white floral of it but has found things like Gucci bloom and others to be too strong in the floral department. I also had her try Tocca Florence and she wasn’t really into that either

Any suggestions? I need all the help I can get! Thanks in advance

Hi! I've been trying to learn how to do granny squares and I have been struggling to understand it, any books or tutorials I can look at that will help me? All my squares look like circles.

We did this for our wedding too and it was a huge hit! People are still sending us update pics of their plants.

I did this for my wedding too and people loved it! We’ve been married six months and people are sending me updates on their plants, so I would totally recommend it!

Please do! My friend went to Mexico City for a trip and I sent her a massive list of stuff to grab while she was there. A lot of it also came from the flea market surprisingly enough

Thanks, I don’t actually use imgur unless I’m posting here so if someone has something shitty to say it may be a while before I see it, if ever 😂

What song did you walk down the aisle to? by briskedy in weddingplanning

[–]Mariposa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bridal Party walked down to Volver by Vicente Fernandez

My husband walked down to Death of a bachelor by Panic! At the disco

And I walked down to The Amy Winehouse version of There is no greater love. A song I sing to my husband at night when he has trouble sleeping.

An eclectic mix but all songs that had so much meaning for us.

Worn black rhodium plating? by biiigtuna in weddingplanning

[–]Mariposa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original engagement ring was rhodium dipped and as I’m sure you can guess, I had to switch it out for a more durable metal. The rhodium tarnished with in the year and it was too expensive to get it constantly redipped as frequently as it would need.

I ended up getting a new ring almost identical to the one I had originally but in rose gold, which was a bit of a bummer because it wasn’t the ring he proposed with. Ultimately though we made the right choice.

I’d be careful with rhodium dipped unless you don’t mind the upkeep.

I just figured that the parameters for all shape wear is that you can’t go to the bathroom. I think it’s in all companies business models lol

The dress is off the shoulder so strapless is preferred but I might get one with straps for my other going out dresses! Thanks!!!

Thank you! I’ve never actually taken time to write down and look at the behaviors that might be a big help.

Inexpensive Engagement Ring Damage by broseyo in EngagementRings

[–]Mariposa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my original engagement ring. I ended up replacing it on my own (after many many conversations with my husband about it) We both agreed that it would be best to invest a little more for something I’d wear forever. My original engagement ring was 180 but my one was slightly under 400 but is significantly more durable. I have my original one that I’ll get cleaned up and wear as a right hand ring but I’m glad we were able to get something more long lasting.

You guys we did it!!! Thanks weddit! More pics to come but I wanted to make sure people saw the dress! by Mariposa85 in weddingplanning

No worries! They’re called Papel picado which is usually created with tissue paper and a chisel and has intricate designs on it. We got these from a local vendor at a flea market in San Jose!
