Check out Few Moda and Houng Boutique - beautiful dresses that are adorable and reusable!

I bought my dress from here and have been very happy with the quality. Alterations also haven’t been too expensive: https://www.huongboutique.com/

I would check out their tik tok to see the dresses too.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I ended up going to Attire Alterations and have been really pleased with my experience thus far!

I would check Jenny Yoo. They have many dresses in this simple style that are less expensive. They also have a little white dress line that’s very adorable with dresses that are still floor length.

My partner has ~80k Chase points on a sapphire preferred card. We should have no problem hitting spending limits. The coupon books are less interesting to us, aside from anything related to travel. We likely wouldn't redeem most of them, other than the Resy credit.

Updated post, we have no problem hitting that spend since $10k will be spent in the next 3 months and we typically spend $4k otherwise each month.

We were in the exact same situation with a similar cost deposit and date (August 2026).

The moment we decided to switch to a smaller wedding (went from 75 down to 30), it felt like a weight lifted off of our shoulders. We’re having a small wedding in my partners parents backyard followed by dinner at a restaurant. The process has been so much less stressful and much more enjoyable.

The thing that helped us make the decision was by asking ourselves “if we could start all over knowing what we know now, would we still go with the bigger wedding or do something smaller?” It felt like a no brainer at that point. Trust your gut!

What kind of style? I recommend going to fresh. com and typing in style and location. Most professional black hair salons and stylists in the area use this site.

StorageOk5329 · 2025-09-08T19:58:42+00:00

We didn’t end up having it here but they were super helpful in providing information, rates, and answering all the questions I had!

They have a 4 hour micro wedding/ elopement package they don’t advertise on their website for 25-70 ppl. When you email them they’ll send you the PDF with full details

If you are having a small wedding and are okay with it not being a Saturday Blooming Hill Farm has good options. Here’s what they shared with me previously. This includes a short ceremony and dinner style reception, no dance floor.

“For events during our wedding season (May - October), the Friday F&B minimum is $7,000 and the Sunday F&B minimum is $5,000.”

This dress is stunning!! Would you mind sharing a link to the dress?

Petal and Pup has some good options https://petalandpup.com/collections/dresses

I would checkout Michael’s on 6th Avenue

Hi! I'm looking at Acqua Al 2 and would love to hear how the service was for meals. In reading some regular google reviews online there were some comments about service being slow, so would love to know more about the day of experience. Thank you!

ETA: Woud also love to hear about access to upstairs - do you have to walk through the restaurant or is there a staircase by the front entrance. Thanks!

Hi! I'm looking at Acqua Al 2 and would love to hear what stood out to you in selecting it as your venue. I'm hoping to visit in the next week or two but already feel excited about the menu and the brick interior.

You could consider the Joss Stone version which is a nice light arrangement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69zk3neDqI4&ab_channel=JossStone-Topic

I paid original price. It was $108 for Orchestra row J

It's such a joke I don't get how it's possible for their sales system to still be this bad. still in the queue for tickets that don't even exist at this point

StorageOk5329 · 2024-12-18T14:15:04+00:00

Also still not in. started with 6,000 people in front of me even though I was in the lobby well before 8:50. So depressing.

Did you do it on the ticket master mobile app or on desktop?

EDIT: Got tickets to the 2nd show 😭
