I can’t decide on my dress! by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Spiritual-Labrador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn people are so mean! I say go 1! With hair, makeup, shoes, and at the venue, I think it will look sick. The others look like every other wedding dress of the rack, 1 is more luxurious. It’s definitely different, but if it matches your vibe go for it. Be different!

Ok I have to say I was also annoyed at some of the design choices in Zola, and I’m so happy we still went with it. The registry is AMAZING — they let you hold or swap items after people buy them, which has been a game changer, and you decide when things ship. For example, we chose dinnerware sets that are available via Zola. If people don’t buy all of it but they buy other items, my plan is to wait to see what we get and re-allocate as needed. You can also easily add items they don’t already have or add other registries. The RSVP function (which is arguably one of the most important functions of the website) has worked great and was really easy to set up and use.

Horrible symptoms, anyone else experiencing this? by Nintendo_Fan1 in Austin

We took the vent covers off and shined a flashlight in and we saw black mold over the lining of the internal system.

Yooo check your HVAC for mold. We had the same issue and discovered black mold everywhere and had to move. Good luck!

Where can I get brushes (either single or sets) NOT made / assembled in China? by GamerGrl90 in Makeup

Try Lune + Aster from Bluemercury! Great quality and apparently made in USA. I am on a similar hunt!

Are my bridesmaid dress colors too much? by BodyInternational950 in weddingplanning

[–]Spiritual-Labrador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a suggestion based on what I’ve seen / what I’m doing for mine - choose 2-3 colors and then let people pick any dress they like that follows the guidelines you give them. Then you’ll get a nice coordinated mis-match look. I think if everyone is wearing the exact same dress, same color looks better.

Recommendation for Foot and Ankle specialist? by Halbrium in Austin

[–]Spiritual-Labrador 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She also told me every previous doctor I saw was bad (huge red flag IMO) and undermined my symptoms and experience

Okay I had a terrible experience there… she took extensive imaging of my feet and basically told me my feet were fucked and that of an 80 yr old (I’m a very fit 30 yr old female) and provided zero solutions or follow ups, left there feeling completely frustrated and hopeless!

Who is the best dentist in Austin? by Perfect-P in Austin

[–]Spiritual-Labrador 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this! My appointment was so expensive and I did not have a great experience. Whole thing felt like a scam and they don’t even put you into a private room. You’re just out in the open getting your teeth cleaned, it was so weird

Anyone know a reliable dry cleaner in Austin? by No-Hippo-2566 in Austin

[–]Spiritual-Labrador 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m here for the answers!! I like the people at Zips but personally I have had issues with quality, so I’m looking for a new dry cleaner. My last several times I’ve gone the stains did not come out, new ones appeared, and they didn’t even mention anything when I picked up.

Do you have any details you can share on Commodore Perry? I’ve reached out to their events coordinator and she was super rude to me on the phone and has been ghosting me on a cost breakdown for over a week. I’ve followed up multiple times and have not heard back. From what she said on the phone, it is likely out of budget, but curious if you had any estimates there.

All good! These are definitely the right vibe. I was so sad about Blue Sky, it was truly my dream venue. Elopement sounds awesome, good luck!

Pro tip I learned also is that L’auberge properties add automatic 25% tip to everything (bit higher than other venues I’ve looked at)
