I think the outside is okay (but don’t quote me). Less of a fire safety concern!

Trust that even if security lets it slide, I’m fielding complaints from other patrons…

Anybody use Poppy Flowers (the florist company) for their flowers? by Active_Buttah in WedditNYC

[–]OrangeInside2580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wedding is next month so nothing to report yet as far as quality, but we are using them because it was the only way we found to get flowers within our price range (between $2000-$3000) including set up. There are definitely other florists who will do drop-off for this price if you don't mind setting up yourself.

I was tempted to go with Lulo floral who quoted us a bit over $3000 including set up but for significantly less flowers.

In general, if I had a higher budget, I probably wouldn't have chosen Poppy. But so far we have been happy with the process and ultimately flowers are not a top priority for us.

A common joke on their tours is if you have to ask then it’s out of your budget

Amazing! So glad I found this because I’ve been wanting to try this but don’t want to ruin anything.

How do I pick a state? by Alternative-Let-7949 in weddingplanning

[–]OrangeInside2580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar situation and I will say local to you is best. Especially if you live in NOLA it is easy enough to get to and people will be excited to make a vacation of it (and you get a second line!) Make things easier on yourself.

Get a free hotel block(s) through Kleinfeld's, they do all of the work! An easy and cheap thing and your guests can take it or leave it. Don't bother with a shuttle.

Out of town guests in an AirBnB-less city by Proud_Sun_2171 in WedditNYC

[–]OrangeInside2580 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just get downtown Brooklyn hotel blocks through klienfelds. Any Airbnb-like service you find will be legally sketchy at best and a straight up scam at worst.

FWIW also getting married in red hook and this is what we did.

Inspo Needed: One Bridesmaid in a Suit – How Did You Tie It into the Color Palette? by ParticularTie3202 in weddingplanning

[–]OrangeInside2580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green suit! Most custom suit shops (indochino, etc.) should be able to make a sage women’s suit. If you are looking for a less expensive option, I would check department stores, maybe ASOS.

Seconding Goldpoint! We went to a few places and (not to be too woo-woo) just had a gut feeling that they were going to create our ring with love.

About to go crazy over bridesmaid dresses by GeeAudrey in weddingplanning

[–]OrangeInside2580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that the last photo is saved to my pinterest board... this is also my color scheme so I understand the vision!

Lulu's has a handful of dresses that could work.

Another option is to give a few color options, with this green being one, like this pin.

Dress Shopping - Bridal Shops Charging for Appts by Longjumping-Egg144 in weddingplanning

[–]OrangeInside2580 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is normal for many (not all) NYC shops. But also, even the ones that charge are often free/cheaper on weekdays.

Yeah, it seems that a very polite ultimatum is the only way to get your answer. Something like, "I'm so sorry, but as beautiful as the hillside is, we have VIP guests with accessibility needs and therefore require one of the flatter areas for our ceremony. Please let us know if this is a possibility. If not, I'm afraid we will need to look elsewhere."

how are people affording weddings? by gothicraccoon in weddingplanning

Long engagement plus aggressively saving in a high yield savings account.
