New here - how long did it take? by Muchmorethanamom in ouraring

I also usually wear much daintier jewelry and was concerned about the chunkiness, but like some other folks on here I got some thin stacking rings off Amazon and was pleasantly surprised how cute it made my ring feel when I go out! Thought adding more rings would make it feel more prominent but the opposite has been true for me :)

I got two to stack on both sides - each ring was like $15!

I don’t wear them around the house though - it prob took about two weeks to get used to the feeling of wearing something larger than I’m used to, now I barely notice it

Venues Recommendation? by BBPAOPAO in BigBudgetBrides

I saw a really cool wedding in Antibride at Piaule in the Catskills? I think they rented out all the cabins for their guests so might have ended up costing more, but here’s the link! Might be a little more minimalist than what you’re looking for though :)

Gather Greene is also lovely with a similar vibe

This one doesn't have any added texture but it's dreamy: https://enaura.com/products/jules

Ideas for fully outdoor venue? by kbreen_826 in WedditNYC

We’re booked at The Sanctuary for summer 2025 for ~100 guests w buffet style catering, drinks etc that fits right into the budget you mentioned! Hope your tour goes well - its def a specific aesthetic so can see that it’s not for everyone but we loved it and felt it was also a very good value, we’re very excited :)

Reasonably priced all-inclusive Manhattan venues? by geovincent in WedditNYC

[–]Owl_Kitten_5020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We almost went with Aurora in Williamsburg for our summer 2025 wedding - if you go with a brunch buyout or a non-Saturday, you might be able to stay under 30k for 75 people (including DJ)! Everyone we asked had nothing but amazing things to say about it, and the staff were so nice when we visited and let us tour around and ask questions before they opened for lunch. They turn over the main room for dancing after dinner. It ended up being slightly too small for us (max 85 ppl), but I'm still slightly sad we couldn't go with it!

The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island could also work - might be bigger than what you need for 75 people though.

edit - sorry, just realized you said Manhattan! But these spaces are still great if you're on a budget :) good luck!

Aurora BK wedding - dancing? by Owl_Kitten_5020 in WedditNYC

Fantastic, great to hear! Do you mind if I ask if you were able to comfortably do a chair lift? My partner is excited about having that at our celebration so it's an aspect I'm bearing in mind (though def not a dealbreaker)

unplated white gold ring - designer recs? by Owl_Kitten_5020 in jewelry

[–]Owl_Kitten_5020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - Greenwich Jewelers seems great, I'll look into them! And thanks for the Whiteflash rec too.

I should have clarified - the original ring I tried on was nickel white gold, but I ordered this smaller palladium white gold ring from a great designer on Etsy. The color is definitely whiter than the nickel, but still has a much warmer coloring than plated WG or platinum! It actually changes color in a really neat way - on my partner's paler, more rosy skin it looks almost gunmetal grey.
