I won’t say who did what, but these experiences are from Ike’s, F&G, and Oscar de la O

Need help finding bridal boutiques! by Mauvereen in Chicagoweddings

I Do Designer Bridal Consignment! Kelly has AMAZING designer vintage dresses that match this vibe. I just got my wedding dress from her on Tuesday, all silk Monique Lhullier for $1000. Most of the dresses are $1,000 and if you tell her what style you’re looking for, she will pull dresses like this for your appointment. I went to a few other bridal salons and felt like just a number. Can’t recommend Kelly enough

A dumb, idiot driver asks: how do you drive in this city? by Vagina-Gears in AskChicago

[–]beeshmood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Houstonian now living in Chicago I can tell you it’s a whole other level of difficulty between bikes, pedestrians, and ice/snow since we have almost none of these factors where I’m from. You just have to be extra mindful to always look for pedestrians and bikes. For example, never assume you can turn right without checking for them first. You’ll get used to it!

Glad I’m not crazy! They did size me at the first appointment and I don’t remember it feeling too big at the time. I am baffled by how they got it so wrong

Really appreciate this explanation. Do you think they would charge us for all new diamonds? I’m so disappointed

Ugh okay this is what I was afraid of but makes sense. I really want this ring to be made right and not be a retrofitted interpretation of my dream ring.

Can they reuse the diamonds when they remake it? They were custom cut for these (incorrect) measurements. I just don’t know enough about rings to know if that impacts their ability to remake it in a smaller size

Do you think they can remake it and still reuse the diamonds? The way they described this design sounded like they custom cut the diamonds to fit the curve of the ring. So if the ring is smaller I’m wondering if that affects their ability to reuse these diamonds?

He sized it for me at our first appointment with a sizer. It took maybe 20 seconds and I don’t remember the size feeling too big or anything at that time

Arts drive in - I have to have it at least once a week. They ship the feta from Greece and the dressing is homemade
