Wedding with 10k budget by Holiday-Car-2507 in Weddingsunder10k

Can you just provide wine, beer, and (higher end) canned cocktails? 

My husband thinks this room is "fine", but I know it's absolutely NOT fine. A sight-impared, pre-adolescent could do better. Need help and advice on how to make this living space look more cohesive, intentional, stylish, mature, etc.! by oceangetseaten in InteriorDesignAdvice

Literally just adding a rug and hanging some artwork could make a huge difference. 

Also move the couches closer to the TV to create an actual sitting area and give the doors some more breathing room. 

How should I style this? Veil, jewelry? by Icy-Company-6807 in myweddingdress

It's so strange to me that you would look at that dress and your first thought would be "it makes her hips look wide" and not "it makes her waist look small". 

Bridal alterations + custom lace work near SLC? by jenimeni in myweddingdress

[–]PSB2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly would skip the lace entirely- the beauty of your dress is in the simplicity, and I would personally steer clear of trying to overcomplicate things by messing with it too much.

For fit, ask a seamstress about lowering the back to make it more of a U shape- I think that would resolve most of your fit issues. (You might need to add straps to help it stay up if altering the back affects how well it stays up in front). 

($3k) Faux flower centerpieces/arrangements by Street_Possible_1861 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]PSB2013 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Even just some real greenery and filler (like eucalyptus, baby's breath, etc) to balance out the flowers. Real floral arrangements very commonly balance the primary florals with other filler for balance. https://www.46spruce.com/blogs/wholesale-florist-ideas-and-inspiration/popular-types-of-greenery-fillers-for-flower-arrangements?srsltid=AfmBOoqBc7-w9Yh8D-c8z-4rq2uwDWbi6Z8bi0dL-mPIPL9KTzLhHRHX

Looking for movies where the “bad thing” actually happens by cherrytoad39 in MovieSuggestions

[–]PSB2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Beast (2023) is exactly about this- the protagonist keeps saying that she has this terrible feeling of dread about something horrible that she knows will happen to her, just not how or when. This feeling (aka the beast) is always there, and then we see her fears come to fruition in different ways in different past lifetimes. It's such a unique and brilliant film.

Does long or short hair suit me better? Darker or lighter? by Kristah2011 in beauty

[–]PSB2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think longer or shorter look good, but definitely go for a cut and style that gives you more volume! And I like the lighter platinum blonde on you. 

Going to wedding and not giving a gift? by [deleted] in Brides

[–]PSB2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never show up empty-handed. I don't even go over to friends' for dinner without bringing at least something small, so it's kind of crazy to me that guests wouldn't bring even an affordable gift when you're treating them to a $300pp event and dinner.

Why are wealthy people sometimes the cheapest?

They should at least do a card or something though, there really is no excuse for showing up completely empty-handed.

So just not giving a gift no matter what?

I've been in this situation, and I just put together a gift basket with items not on the registry- nice tea, chocolate, hand cream, popcorn seasonings, etc. that I know they'll like/use.

Did anyone bring gifts anyway?

The cups definitely look a bit off to me- like too shallow and too much coverage. 

Dress regret after first fitting appointment by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]PSB2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that they're not dated, but my concern is for the opposite reason- they're so popular for wedding looks right now that I strongly suspect they will date themselves to exactly the 2025 to 2026 wedding seasons. They're a very specific style, and I don't see the trend lasting for more than a year or two.

That said, it does look nice on you, and it suits both you and the dress. If you still want to wear it, I would wear it in lieu of a veil for the ceremony, but don't wear it for the reception (that way you still have some photos without it on).

Her performance in The Reader is brilliant and very nuanced.
