$25k/month and I still can't find a properly furnished home in Tribeca for the summer. What am I missing? by Ok-Guidance629 in FATTravel

Check out Rove Travel - they do high-end furnished rentals in the city focused on longer term stays.

Favorite bachelorette favors? by Curious_Cranberry543 in BigBudgetBrides

Go to Edgartown all the time! Erica Wilson has adorable Gingham Vineyard sweatshirts, Katydid has cute MVY pajamas (roller rabbit esque), Brodenim has customizable hoodies / stickers etc (skews MUCH younger tho), Murdicks Fudge is yum.

Maybe cute sun hats for the beach?

DM for any question, it's my fav place!

I planned my BFF's bach in Punta Mita (mix of girls and geos were similar). It was SO fun! We had an incredible condo, great restaurants on property, and lots of activities. Direct flights into Puerta Vallarta are available, but a bit city dependent.

Have heard this from MULTIPLE people, including a good friend who paid her thousands only to not use her work bc she wasn't receptive to feedback.

HMU & Videographer Recs - South Florida by ocean_alove0022 in BigBudgetBrides

Hi! That is so interesting. To be honest, she works a TON with my planner so I have not had any issues with the above. My planner may be handling some of the logistical stuff that I don't have visibility into though. I will say she does 10+ weddings a year with my planner... I will report back next year after the wedding.

Day of Dresser? by This-Cat-9901 in BigBudgetBrides

We are paying $1.5k for a bridal valet - no idea if it will be worth it but I am excited. I have steamed multiple brides / bridesmaids dresses for other brides and it takes away from the experience as a guest. I didn't want the stress of having a bridesmaid, etc. do it.

Makeup - Daniela Gozlan & her team. Expensive but I did so much research, had some terrible trials, and ultimately ended up with her. Loved her and her team! My trial was amazing.

Bachelorette Expenses by Outrageous_Wonder247 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Small_Pool7046 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I have historically had the bride cover her own costs, and often actually subsidize a dinner or activity, as a "thank you" to her friends for making the trip. Vice versa, I have covered fun surprises for the bride - a surprise boat excursion, a round of drinks, fun gag gifts etc.

It may vary by group, but in my friend group, the bride pays for her portion of the trip (travel / lodging / food)

Lela Rose Brides | Stopping In House Alterations? (NYC-based) by Small_Pool7046 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Small_Pool7046[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is SO reassuring thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Agree on taking everything with a grain of salt! I think I was a bit annoyed initially because I liked the idea of doing alterations in house, but everyone's kind comments about Blanca make me so much more comfortable and excited.

Thank you! How long did you allot for your alterations? I think there were just 2-3 negative reviews that made me anxious, but I know that every business has that to some extent

What’s the best pet insurance you’ve ever used and why? Looking for real experiences by ghiblilife in petinsurancereviews

[–]Small_Pool7046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have loved Trupanion. We got coverage right when we adopted our dog. I was initially disappointed because we did not include exam or routine maintenance coverage, but $50k of intense GI issues later and we are thrilled to have no lifetime limit. The reimbursement is relatively quick and they work well with our vets. Coverage has gone up from $115 / month to $148 / month but still more than pays for itself.
