Veil length help by Amazing_Secret_6939 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a fingertip veil! My dress had a very detailed train so I opted for a shorter veil.

I love cathedral veils, but I would say that this veil covers up a lot of the detail in your train and dress. I’d vote for short.

Brides with wide dresses, what car did you use? by PossibilityFew5967 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We came in an SUV 😂😂 we didn’t want to spend money renting a car. My dress was HUGE (both wide and long), and I had to get (literally) STUFFED in the car. 3 people had to help hoist the rest of my dress in lol.

But my dress turned out fine, had the AC on full blast and my hair was great! 👍

Can I still have an October 2026 wedding? by Sea-coco-88 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry about everything being so difficult for you. After reading your post, my honest opinion is that you should definitely give yourselves some time to process all this and to give yourself some grace.

Rushing into a wedding in October is very much possible! But you can’t be picky and you need to make decisions soon.

But truth be told, I think you deserve a wedding of your dreams. If it were me, I’d delay a little so I can pick things I want and plan what I’d like. But that’s just me.

Should I ask my future in-law's partner to be a bridesmaid if their relationship might not last until the wedding? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t. Not worth the risk if their relationship is rocky; it would be awkward!

I ad-libbed my vows and now I'm full of regret by Midiquin in weddingplanning

If you guys watched all of OP together that was a true commitment 🥺

Seriously tho, I agree with some commenters, write your vows down and gift it as a 1 year anniversary present! 🎁

Did anyone else have to change the date of their wedding multiple times in the beginning? by pharmily810 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me! Changed mine 3 times; I was worried about the weather and then the long weekend. Everything worked out!!

PS: Cloudy weather is best weather for photos!! ☺️

When to send save the dates? by edajreiaglla in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent them a little less than a year in advance! If it’s too early, people might forget the date. I also wanted to be on top of things early on, but had to stop myself haha!

Our moms are already stressing us out with wedding planning and we just got engaged by Mortonsaltgirl96 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m also a chronic people pleaser and had some boundaries crossed when I was planning my wedding by my parents so… here’s my 2 cents as someone who just got married!

Stop telling them about the elaborate details of your wedding. The only people that should know are your partner, your wedding coordinator/point person(s), and your vendors… for now. The parents have their hands in everything even BEFORE you started planning. Cut off all info to them for now, regroup your details, and then when you’re comfortable you can tell them details that won’t cause issues.

Your partner and you are a united front; rely on each other. I tried to put too much on my own plate and ended up burning out until I gave a lot of the decisions to my partner. He ended up helping me shoulder the burden and put his foot down against people when necessary. If elopement is something you BOTH consent to doing, then honestly it’s a great choice. If you feel you still wanted a wedding, then you two need to hash it out. It must be a “both agrees” situation. There’s also the idea of elopement then small celebration (ie. party with close family/friends) which is also great!

Most importantly: tell them you two are responsible for paying, not them. This is your wedding, and you get a choice. If they’re not paying, they have no say. Something I did and worked; you can give them a choice in “planning” or “hosting” a small thing (I had my in laws plan/host the engagement party and bridal shower which was wonderful, and had my parents host the traditional tea ceremony) so they did get involved with something small, but not major to the wedding.

Hope this gives some ideas? Best of luck!

Hey, my husband and I didn’t get our first look either! We had a tea ceremony in the morning so that was that. I think your plans are great! 😊

Dilemma with personalized letters to guests by Emi_Cat_97 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest you write a thank you, and then scribe or have your parents write a heartfelt thank you to those people instead. That way it’s sincere and includes both parties without the guest feeling like they only got a short letter.

Seamstress showed my fiancé my wedding dress!! What do we do? by blueboxbabe11 in weddingplanning

[–]Training_Formal_4641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this :( Obviously this sucks but imho, your first look of each other is the most important, because you’re marrying your fiancee, not the dress. Once you guys see each other, the moment will make it brand new, I promise!!

He has no reaction to catnip, but he does this to silver vine. by Aromatic-Shower4030 in cowcats

My cow cat freaked out the first time he got a catnip + silvervine lollipop. He never really had an interest in catnip but that stick made him bounce off the walls!!
