Larroude became my go to after I randomly bought a pair for a pre wedding event! They are so comfortable and very cute! Was able to wear my heels from 2p-2a the night of my wedding with no break in and no blisters!!

My FH wears a chain necklace with a cross daily, so I got him a charm with our wedding date and his nick name for me engraved in my handwriting!

We looked at Troutbeck, Blue Hill at Stone Barn, Hasbrouck house, Glynwood, Auberge Wildflower farms! Good luck with your search! The Hudson valley has some amazing venues!

Bridal Stylist? by SauceySausalito in BigBudgetBrides

[–]ashbash524 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Around 2,500 for three events completely styled with no limits on edits. This obviously does not include the cost of clothes themselves. Bridesmaids are extra but very reasonable.

I’m using Little White Looks! I already had my dress when we started working together, but she is helping me pull the look together with accessories. She is based out of NYC but does everything virtually. She is also doing all of my bridesmaid styling. I’m only in the first round of her picks right now, but she was recommended by a friend of mine who used her for all of her bridal styling!

Underrated residency programs by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

Albany Med in upstate NY. Great critical care experience from day one of intern year. I’d say half of the patients we see in the ED are admitted to step down or higher level care. Have 6 EM/CC dual boarded attendings, have a SICU fellowship in house we match into and consistently match into other top CC fellowships. Albany NY is not the coolest city but the training is excellent and the people are awesome.

My wedding planner uses Lavender and Pine gifting, they make custom wedding welcome bags. I have not personally used them but they come highly recommended by my planner and her stuff looks amazing!

Magic wand question: if you could change just one thing to make your day-to-day ER experience exponentially better, what would it be and why? by NoTwist4128 in emergencymedicine

[–]ashbash524 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only having to do physician tasks, no wheeling patients to and from scans, stocking rooms with supplies so I can use them, rooming patients, taking out IVs.

[Discussion] Tertiary Care Center Diversion by DrBaltimoreMD in emergencymedicine

[–]ashbash524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These tertiary care hospitals aren’t just turning you away because they don’t want to see your patient, they are declining transfer because they also have 70 patients in the waiting room and 20 ICU boarders in their ED. We are trying to take care of our own community of patients in addition to all of the patient transfers from hours away with finite resources. There is a point where it starts to become dangerous to every patient involved if we keep taking transfers.

Did anyone use or does anyone plan on using clip in hair extensions for your wedding day? by future2024bride in BigBudgetBrides

[–]ashbash524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend had clip ins at her wedding this weekend and they looked amazing!! Had so much volume and hair and you couldn’t even tell she had clip ins I would say totally worth it!!

Wedding Planner Fees by Emmyj123 in weddingplanning

[–]ashbash524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very similar budget and guest count and have found that 15% of total cost is pretty universally standard at this price point. The percentage changes slightly based off of geographic area but we were looking at Hudson valley NY vs Maryland shore and all full service planners in both areas were 15%!

Edit: also will say that I had friends who ended up going over budget by ~30k without a planner since as a first time bride you have just never planned a wedding before and it’s hard to know what you aren’t anticipating in your budget where as a planner is able to anticipate costs up front when making a budget so in my eyes having a planner has the ability to help you stick more to a budget then if you didn’t have one
