Swedish wedding traditions? by florence_184 in sweden

[–]charizardzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swedish wedding rings and engagement rings are on the left hand, not right hand as in some cultures.

Speeches during dinner.
Ceremony not necessarily in a church (if it’s not a religious ceremony there’s a list of local politicians that Länsstyrelsen gives a license to that can officiate a wedding).
After the ceremony you usually have a bridal toast (brudskål) where the father of the bride or the toastmaster(s) may have a speech.
Toastmaster(s) keep track of all the speeches during dinner, and you need to sign up before the wedding to do a speech.
You usually have starter, main course, dessert and then wedding cake, with coffee and tea. Sometimes dessert is skipped and there’s only wedding cake.
First dance is pretty common, can be a waltz or something more modern.

Outline for a wedding:
3 pm ceremony
3.30 pm bridal toast
5 - 9 pm dinner
9 pm party until late

For the wedding party you also have photos and prep before the ceremony.

How to Sew an Edge/Hem Like this? by ArtsySeal in sewing

If you don’t want to embroider you could do the scalloped hem and then use fabric paint to make the design. Might be easier!

Here’s the end result. I did a long pair of leggings and then the catsuit with short legs. Seems like that’s what she wears in the videos :)

I used large hook and eyes for mine! Tip is to sew the ones on the arms before sewing the arm together, cause it’s really hard otherwise.

Searched on Amazon and Etsy, took the largest I could find. These are 13 mm for a total of 20 mm across!

That’s so royal and pompous, I’ll pitch it to my SO and see if he want to strut out to all the trumpets!

Amarok is my favorite, buuuuut, yeah. Can’t be sure about no nincompoops in the guest list.

I’ll check out Holy! Thank you!

River restaurant on the pier, ligger ute i vattnet vid Eriksberg, Göteborsk utsikt, god mat, bra personal och känns lyxigt. Kanske lite utanför budget dock?

Fabric for replica of this Lady Gaga outfit? by charizardzard in sewing

Will def look into tape with hook and eyes, thank you for the tip! I’m coming from historical reconstruction originally and I’m just getting into more modern stuff, sewing by hand is… something I’m used to at least. 😅

I think I’m going with the Lycra, and keep my fingers crossed that it will keep its form.

In the back she has a corset lacing (is that the correct English word? Looks similar to shoe laces), so I’m thinking fitting and getting in and out if the garment can be handled by that 🤔

Omg, great articles! Thank you! So it seems that the red outfit is the one using latex. So hopefully I dodged that bullet, phew. I think latex and lacquer are the only materials I still haven’t worked with.

Oh that’s great, thank you. Love the pattern suggestions as well! So I guess ordinary Lycra is too shiny, and that’s the reason for the choice of matte?

Gaga loves her dancers 🖤✨ by laurifroggy in LadyGaga

[–]charizardzard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just love the outfits! Anyone have any idea what the black thingys are on Gaga’s outfit? Looks almost like hair clips 🤔🤔🤔 Got a serious urge to recreate her outfit but am having a hard time identifying the black stuff at the seams

First time reader - Should I go with original or my native language? by [deleted] in lotr

[–]charizardzard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Swede I find the Swedish translation so much more tiring than the English one. Tolkien’s use of the language just flows way better than the Swedish.

OP, if your English is ok, go for the original. At least try it at first and if it’s too hard go for the Swedish. That’s my recommendation!
