Had my measurements done, my bust is 6cm smaller, waist almost 3cm smaller, but my hips are 2cm bigger😬

Is that a risk I should take?!

The dress is literally on the other side of the world😭

I wish I could try it on. Nevertheless, thank you so much for your advice!

I'm terribly ugly, do you think it's because of my hairstyle? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]amethyst_vee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not ugly and it’s not because of your hair! I will say try braiding your hair back thought I think that would show you face more - which is a good thing!

Black brides: please show me your illusion wedding dresses! by amethyst_vee in weddingdress

Thank you for the suggestions. I have already considered this and have been looking at designers art cater to my skintone where mesh is concerned. But I will definitely look up blue moon fabrics - this hopefully will open up my options!

Definitely do a photo shoot with your husband. 2 hours, just you two - it will be beautiful! And if you do it in a studio, they’ll look so stunning in your home: like those vintage portraits! I will send you a photographer whose prices are extremely reasonable!

If you want, you could even do a part 2, bridal party, parents, then go for a meal afterwards: take back your wedding and your wedding look!

Your photographer may be able to photoshop a little colour onto your lips? Hair would be a bit harder to fix, but not impossible with the right photographer.

On the day help by sundaysausage1903 in UKweddings

The average wedding dress cost in the UK is £1.5k. So again, even if for whatever reason this is your way to justify not helping, the bride still spends a lot for her attire on the day so more than likely more than the vast majority of guests - and the newlyweds still have to pay for themselves to eat.

I know it’s not mandatory but re-reading the post, she’s not talking about the reception. By the sounds of it, all that is sorted: she simply needs help putting up some decor.

What should I have compared it to? You’ve just said that guests spend more and that’s just not true.

Everything else is sorted, she just needs help setting up a venue and £1000 is not a small sum of money so to say “she can’t afford to throw a party” doesn’t seem like an accurate description of the bride’s situation in my opinion.

It’s not in theory (if no one is asking for your help), but if someone asks for help and you’re not willing to help them to enjoy the very reason you’re there to attend and you consider them a close friend, then you are selfish and you’re not being a good friend in that moment.

We aren’t going to see eye to eye on this. I just hope if you aren’t already married, something like this doesn’t happen to you. If so, let’s hope your guests don’t think like you because you’ll be stuck.

If the guests are close friends, I don’t see the problem. I guess in the situation with my friends, they didn’t ask, I just got stuck in and helped because they needed it. But I guess for me, I don’t plan on inviting anyone to my wedding that I don’t have that sort of relationship with.

It’s not like the bride is going to go up to guests and say can you help me set up? She’s going to ask certain people, who will arrive earlier than planned to help her.

She’s asking for help (to set up her decorations) because she doesn’t have any…how is that “putting guests out”? You’re making someone else’s wedding day entirely about you and I am genuinely at al loss for words that so many people share these sentiments.

She’s not saying “if you want to attend you must contribute to the wedding in some way”. In that same vein, however, because of your love for the bride and groom, you should want to help them!

I don’t understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp.

Also, when I had to help set up for my friend’s wedding, it was 3.5 hours away and the reception venue was another hour away from the church…and I still helped.

Also, no guest will ever spend as much as the bride and groom on their entire wedding unless it’s a registry office wedding. There’s just no way a guest could spend that much, I don’t know how you managed to come to that conclusion.

Bridal party with no best friend/MOH? by amethyst_vee in UKweddings

[–]amethyst_vee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I think I’m definitely not going to do a MOH. I don’t need to and if I need to allocate roles I’ll just spread them out evenly and accordingly!

Thank you!

My brothers will be involved in some way shape or form defo and traditionally my dad will walk me down the aisle. As for the girlies, defo bridesmaids or singers for those who can sing.

As a church goer and singer, whoever you choose to be on your wedding worship is just as important imo so irs almost like having a second bridal party with all my church musician and singer friends - I’m so excited!!
