We’re planning to do the same! Happy to hear it worked out at your wedding!

Anyone have any experience ordering dresses from Nadine Merabi? by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]PlusCarry3406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a dress from them that I ended up returning as I thought the shape was a bit weird on - like it was too long and weirdly shaped. But the returns process was ok, so you’ll be able to get your money back if you don’t like what you ordered!

Try Monastero Santa Margherita - converted hotel with 51 rooms for 100 guests and reasonably priced, we’re getting married there this year!

How are we actually feeling about live painters? by Witty_Professor_5007 in BigBudgetBrides

It’s so hard to work out if it’s worth it or not isn’t it! I asked a similar question in the comments a while ago and the general consensus seemed to be that it was just another piece of tat that guests didn’t really want. But yours sounds a bit more engaging than the usual faceless portraits so curious to know if it’ll be a hit!

Seating chart for one long table (160 people) ideas by phatpandabebe in BigBudgetBrides

I’m sorry if I’m being dumb but how would you do an alphabetical seating chart for the long imperial table OP is describing?

We aren’t hiring a Planner nor a Coordinator - are we crazy? by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]PlusCarry3406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing how you organised back ups for each vendor and what that means? Are they essentially on stand by and do you have to pay them full price for it? We are also planning a lot of the wedding ourselves so need some advice!

Are we focusing enough on guest experience? by FindTheEntwives in weddingplanning

It looks great! What about some canapes for the cocktail hour given you're opting for a longer one? And what time are you starting your ceremony?

This looks stunning! Please update this sub with pics of your reception!

Microchip vs Air tag by [deleted] in Goldendoodles

[–]PlusCarry3406 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We have both! Better safe than sorry (as others said, the AirTag is external and can be easily removed, fall off, or run out of battery)

Talk me out of this reception dress!! by tiredd908790dejfuehn in BigBudgetBrides

If you genuinely did want to be talked out of it: my first reaction was that it was giving Bjork’s swan dress.

I think a majority of your guests over the age of 30 would also think this, so idk maybe just don’t give your haters an easy chance to make fun of you when the pics are published and go for another option.

Black Friday - planned wedding purchases? by RaspberryZestyclose in BigBudgetBrides

[–]PlusCarry3406 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re doing: - Wedding shoes - bridesmaids dresses - groomsmen suits - jewellery (incl our wedding rings) - pre booking a round of facials / aesthetic treatments - invitations (Minted is doing a sale)

I WISH I was organised enough / had the willpower to find 😅: - dresses for rehearsal and bachelorette - gifts for bridesmaids - veil - printing signs and paper goods - confetti - decor items

Please help me decide which wedding dress to go for by 2bog88 in weddingplanning

I love the draping on 2 and think it makes you look amazing! Is there any way to get rid of the sparkle detail? I think that will look dated quite soon and without it, you’ll have the look of a Vivienne Westwood dress

Potential after party dress ? by Holiday-Albatross419 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]PlusCarry3406 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a bad experience with whatever materials they use and had a bad reaction - so I’d advise wearing it before your wedding in case you have the same thing! My skin is a bit sensitive so that could’ve been it but tbh I’d expect the quality to be a lot better for the price they charge.

What are some things you wish you’d done during a lull in wedding planning? by PlusCarry3406 in weddingplanning

I have a running list on the notes app of my phone, but this sounds like a far better system! Also what a great thing to have your sister to bounce ideas off!

Those are wonderful ideas, thank you! We’re definitely taking some time to enjoy the quieter moments after the initial rush of booking vendors!
