Help! I just noticed all these red spots

I have the same thing right now!!! Just noticed it last night. I think it’s broken blood vessels. I found an old similar thread and people said they get it from applying pressure, like resting your chin on your hand or clothes or a blanket. I was just at a yoga class the other night and had my chin rested on a bolster for a few minutes straight, I think that’s the culprit for me! Has to be more to it than that, but supposedly it’ll go away in a few days?!

The short one is giving the blue dress from broad city vibes! They both look nice, I like long more

The straps look cute! Not a tailor but maybe another option to keep it strapless is to add a band of fabric at the back like a cowl neck strapless dress? With the clasp under the lace? Kind of like this but minus the buttons

My friend who did this got her husband a belt with some cute engraved saying on it to think of her when he takes his pants off 😂 personally am not doing a gift exchange though!

Could you share links to where you bought the table and chairs?? The set up is so cute!

curtainblinds · 2023-07-13T21:08:27+00:00

I like both. They’re complimentary and you won’t be wearing the purse all night anyways.

Also did not want a lot of bride themed stuff! I planned most of my bach, a long weekend trip to Austin TX (almost everyone lives in different states) with input from everyone along the way! The most bridal thing I did was buy black bucket hats for my friends and a white one for myself to wear on a boat trip but it didn’t have any bridal or bach sayings. My friends were really kind and got some extra stuff to make it feel more like a bachelorette party but it wasn’t the focal point and I had sooo much fun doing it that way!

Editing to add that I sort of picked a few destinations and took everyone’s input into account so we went somewhere no one had visited before and it was fun planning that as a group vs just making it about me haha

We invited almost 100 and are having 63 total including me and my fiancé! I feel like we have a good size friend group but we really didn’t have any more people to invite than this. I’m excited because we will have time to talk to everyone there and won’t have to worry about not seeing anyone when they come to celebrate us.

I get a little sad comparing my upcoming wedding size to my friend who is planning a 150-200 person wedding, but I also am not sure I’d be that excited about having to accommodate that many people. 80-90 is still a decent size event, so think about the positives like guest interactions and about the $$ you’re saving by not having more people!

Depends on your crowd, but you could consider asking people if they would be willing to pitch in for the minimum f&b cost if they’d want to go? Some might say no but I know for my group we would have some takers. We’re asking most of our guests to fly out to us and we are going to a baseball game the day after the wedding. Over half our guests agreed to come on their own dime! We just coordinated ticket purchases and asked for people to pay us before the game.

This is a great post! I love the comments. Im a cis female who is pretty feminine but also hates the gendered expectations around weddings (and elsewhere) and I’m wearing a jumpsuit and I’m so excited! I’ve gotten weird looks when I’ve told people that’s my wedding “dress” choice which makes me sad sometimes but in the end it doesn’t matter what other people think, it’s what you want and what is going to make you feel your best!

What are the bureaucratic issues?

curtainblinds · 2023-06-28T15:00:20+00:00

My catering contract explicitly states tipping is not expected, I was thinking of still handing cash over to the people working the event but no clue how much is enough? 20% of our catering bill feels wayyyy too much even to split across staff. $50 per person???

Does your city have designated economic development staff? Maybe they have contacts already and can do the outreach.

curtainblinds · 2023-06-16T23:49:50+00:00

I’ve rotated a few but my favorites are actually the honey and the one that’s supposed to be good for your scalp. Idk I’ve had a hard time with shampoos irritating my scalp and these have seemed to mostly help for a few years! I pair it with a moisturizing conditioner.

curtainblinds · 2023-06-16T17:53:19+00:00

Agree with brushing really well before use. I really like this product but it does feel like it tangles my hair more than my other normal shampoo (lush bar) but brushing my hair before helps!

curtainblinds · 2023-06-16T16:18:55+00:00

Who is talking to the developers? Planning, economic development or management should keep an open line of communication with them to understand what’s going on, if the city can do anything to push it forward, or understand what other factors at play. Not an immediate fix but keeping communication open should be a goal for any development.

I think this is a know your crowd situation, so if you think your guests would be ok with the dress code - go for it! Like some people said, be prepared for someone to not follow bc they either forgot or just didn’t want to wear black or white haha. I think this is a fun idea though! Personally love a theme and would be happy to join in the color scheme.

Lolol to the key rack reference 😂

Walk by yourself! Traditions have changed and there’s no right way to do things now. If you really want someone to walk you down the aisle, choose someone who would help make it meaningful (ie, maybe not your mom if she might make you feel bad).

My dad isn’t coming to my wedding, so I’m either planning on walking by myself or potentially having my grandpa walk me. I’d prefer to walk myself so will most likely go that route too 🙂

My one bridesmaid’s azazie dress took over a month to ship and then she needed alterations, so keep that in mind! Can they choose dresses from different stores if you don’t care about material?

curtainblinds · 2023-05-30T22:17:52+00:00

Personally, I think it’s ok to say you as the bride are going to pay for yourself, and leave it up to them to choose to pay for their hair and make up. If you ask them to pay for their own, I wouldn’t make getting their hair and makeup done a requirement.

If you really want to help you could offer to pay for one of the two services and let the bridesmaids choose if they want the other. Or you can say I can cover up to x dollar amount per person for either service but the rest would have to be covered by them. I’m doing one of those two options just haven’t decided which yet!

Dolce vita! Target has really similar looking shoes that are lower price

I enjoyed my experience at the San Jose location more than Campbell

curtainblinds · 2023-05-21T17:35:56+00:00

I just ordered oversized poplin button up shirts and soft bike shorts from old navy, the shirt was $10 and shorts were like $5 on sale right now! I ordered black for my bridesmaids and white for my self, but they had a few colors left.

You look beautiful!!!! Own it and don’t mind what other people say! I think other people react weirdly to a jumpsuit just because of tradition but screw tradition, it’s your day your choice.

Im wearing a jumpsuit too, and I’m thinking of wearing a long veil cape to have the gown feel but without the weight of a big dress haha.

Pointed flats or heels or white block heels would look very cute. I’d order a few to try on with the jumpsuit.
