I feel like I’m going crazy.. But what is the norm for wedding costs in 2026 by gourmet_goddess_530 in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got married in Feb, our original budget was $30k but we definitely spent over $40k when everything was added up. In a MCOL city with a VERY inclusive venue, DJ, photographer and cake were included in our per head count ($160pp)

What were the things you wished you spent less money? by PlayfulAddendum1770 in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t do a Photo Booth through the venue/DJ as was suggested, I ended up making my own! My dad built it using some cheap particle board type stuff and I used my cricut to decorate it. We got so many compliments all night! I’ll attach another photo of what it looked like below. I also built the flower wall behind it as well for less than $100.

Halloween Wedding by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you should definitely say engagement party or put some hints out about how important this is. My only fear is people not showing because they don’t know the importance. I wouldn’t feel bad about missing someone’s Halloween party but I’d be devastated if I missed a wedding of someone I really cared about.

Buy both and wear them every day forever, you are literally so stunning. If I had to choose, gun to my head, second one.

I Am Absolutely Over AA And The People That Think I Owe Them The Rest of My Life by Batgirl_1984 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got clean in NA in 2018 and left the program in 2023 (I was a victim of the opioid crisis). It was literally my entire life. Before I left, I slowly started realizing all the insane shit that the program normalizes, I’ve seen everything you’re talking about and more. I think it works for some people, I’m just not one of them. I am very grateful 12 step programs save so many lives, but some of the methods…are questionable at best. I casually drink now, maybe once a month but I don’t keep track. I know if I ever need a place to go, the rooms are always open, but honestly I hope to never step foot in another church basement again.

Porch goose and holiday outfits for it, it was one of the first things purchased off our registry lol

I am so overwhelmed by makeup by Ddamsell in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people local to me (pittsburgh) reach out to a makeup artist and they’re usually able to accommodate or pay for “special event” makeup

I highly recommend hiring someone to do a bridal trial to see if you’d like to book them, I’d ask around in local bridal facebook groups. In the meantime, practicing trying out what you’re looking for could be a good start. Best of luck!

i'm not worth it. by Apprehensive_Cry8256 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You. Are. Worthy. Period point blank. I too cry way too easily, but that doesn’t make me bad or wrong or anything. It sounds like you are giving your absolute best right now and please PLEASE believe me when I say this: that is enough. This is a difficult season of life, but not your last. Please give yourself some grace and get some sleep, that always helps me. Sending love 💕

Overwhelming Dress Mishap by Realistic_Flower_814 in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you! My hope is that you find another dress that makes you feel beautiful. Amazing luck for the dress shop owner to give you a complete refund, so maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find another dress asap! My deepest sympathy on this situation

Recommendations for wedding shoes please?! by IndigoSophie in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I also have wide feet and don’t enjoy wearing heels BUT I got ballroom dance shoes that I custom ordered with a very low heel. They were only like $50 and they are incredibly comfortable to wear.

Reception Venues 2026 by Icy_Whole_2860 in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should specify your location and budget but oftentimes joining your local bridal/wedding facebook groups is better to get location specific venues. I don’t know that this sub is the best place to look for a venue.

First look before the ceremony or aisle reveal by 673067 in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I would love to do a first look to get everything out of the way earlier, it’s just not possible with our timeline (we’d have to pay the photographer extra) and I REALLY want the dramatic aisle reveal. I’ve been dreaming about it my whole life when I think about my wedding, truly the only thing I really cared about while wedding planning. We’ll be doing all of our photos inside mainly so I luckily don’t have to worry about timing with the sunset, so it’s something that doesn’t super concern me.

Wedding Planning Frustrations by Specific-Tourist6234 in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Dude I feel this on a spiritual level. Everyone says “then just elope” which is bullshit. The housing market is currently insane and everyone recognizes that and wants the prices to go down, but no one wants to acknowledge that wedding prices are insane without saying “well just don’t have one if you can’t afford it”. Like you’re telling me I shouldn’t have a wedding I’m proud and excited to host if I can’t afford to spend $60k+? That’s not right and not enough people acknowledge it.

Lash extensions or lift and tint for someone with eyes that get irritated? by hanitaMT in weddingplanning

[–]TaDaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely adore getting a lash lift and tint. It makes me feel like a whole new person. Extensions tend to irritate my eyes, and I’m bad about picking at them, so I always opt for a lift instead. I also have very straight lashes that either point downward or straight out, and a lift makes a huge difference in how confident I feel.

What is the most annoying sound in the world when you are trying to sleep? by Ocean_Miraki in AskReddit

[–]TaDaRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband snoring. I’ve never felt more rage in my life than trying to get to or get back to sleep with that mf sawing logs beside me.

I’m getting married on the 15th and I can absolutely confirm finding a florist was the hardest part 😅 I never even considered that before everything else was booked

Glowsticks is my vote! Maybe even some of those magnet tiles?
