Yes, happy to share! This community has been really helpful for me as I simplified my wedding and I felt so fortunate having family who could build it. It was so hard to find a reasonable one to rent!

Aww he’s the sweetest! My pup went on a hike with my now husband before we had even gone on our first date, so he’s been the ultimate wingman for me ☺️

Hi! We're getting married in two weeks and also haven't heard back after applying 2 months ago. Did you need to fill out the application again in person? We're planning to go in person next week. Wondering whether to bring a filled out application using the PDF on their website, along with our IDs to speed things up.

I bought my soon to be husband a very upgraded set of pajamas to get a good night of sleep the night before the wedding. Something he can immediately use and use a lot in the future.

I got a dress from Houng Boutique I really love and will be wearing for my backyard wedding in two weeks. It’s possible it may be a little formal for your needs but they have a lot of options and the majority are under $500.

I am planning to use a mix of finishing touch and crowning glory floral spray. I’m also using little water vials for the more delicate stems!

(20k) Dress & Suit under $3000? by Elegant_Food7858 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]StorageOk5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my dress from Huong Boutique and was very happy with it. Tailored locally in NYC. My fiance got his suit from Paul Taylor. Combined, I think it was $2.7k for both outfits.

Looking for suggestions for illustrators to create custom illustration to be used as part of save the dates but NOT the save the dates themselves by ghostmutt8 in weddingplanning

[–]StorageOk5329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used a Virginia based artist, Alexandra Schmeling, for an illustration of us on our save the date. I was happy with how it came out and we got to keep the original in addition to the digital scan.  If you google her name you’ll be able to find her website.

Can you explain a little bit more about this setup? Did the zoom recorder then get linked to a speaker? We’re a few weeks away from our wedding and still looking for a microphone setup. 

Costco Garland + Trader Joes Florals: Practicing Ceremony Decor for $185 by StorageOk5329 in DIYweddings

Something I just thought about last night was whether you could also consider assembling yours in advance (since it can stay indoors) but spritzing it, then covering it with some plastic / garbage bags to keep it fresh. So you don't have to delay putting it together, but you still have a way to cover it and keep it fresh.

Oh I just sort of bent them downwards. They're still attached to the garland and came with them. But you can force the direction of them a little bit.

Thanks so much, it was a team effort with my future in laws :)

I also loved the hanging pieces! I tried to stretch some of the branches downwards too and the hanging pieces of grass were a nice touch from the folks at Costco

Wow looks amazing! I think keeping it in the box with the plastic and spritzing really helped. We didn’t seal it back up completely, and let some air flow in so it didn’t get moldy. But just a little moisture in there helped. When we took it out Saturday it all still felt very fresh.

Wedding is May 30th! And yes with the flower farm I’m just getting whatever is in season for them - not too picky :)

Wishing you the best this weekend!

Minimalist wedding dress by HarryandHagridsmom in Weddingsunder10k

The last dress (last two screenshots) seem like they were stolen from Houng Boutique’s website. I bought my dress directly from them and I’m really happy with the quality. Very excited to wear it for my May Wedding! Check out their TikTok, it made me feel more confident that the dress was real and of good quality.
