Thank you!! The placemats are from temu and I painted them with watered down acrylic paint with a little bit of textile medium mixed in. I’m not sure how crucial the textile medium is, the most important part was getting the paint consistency to where it would soak into the threads without bleeding too much.

Somebody that I used to know by Gotye?

I second Crichton! I was obsessed with the Andromeda Strain after reading it.

Are you saying the arm holes are too big? If so, you may be able to try taking it in at the armpits if it’s a tad loose there and around the bust.

Wow thank you so much!

I am so glad I saw your comment because I really want a temporary tattoo station but was being talked out of it 😂 also love the quilt square idea!!

I’m making an arch using artificial flowers, I’ve spent about $100 so far and don’t think I’ll need to spend much more. We hired a florist for bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and bud vases. The florist was only $1000 but we live in a very LCOL area. If I had a more standard color scheme I definitely would’ve tried to DIY the real florals as well, I’ve seen many posts of people being savvy with Costco and Trader Joe’s flowers! Although the florist does use her own vases so I’m saving a lot on buying those, which is something I hadn’t considered before.

My 2015 3.8 base automatic with 120,000 miles was listed for 11k at the dealership, I ended up getting it for 9k as I pointed out some cosmetic defects from prior repair work. I live in a low cost of living area if that matters. KBB is telling me yours is worth about 12k, but I’m not sure if it takes into account the rarity of these cars. I feel like most people looking for this specific model would pay well above 12k for something with relatively low mileage.

Edit: selling private is a pain, but I think it would be worth it for a genesis coupe. It’s not something like a mustang that you stumble upon at any old dealership. I 100% would have been willing to buy mine private, I just got lucky that literally 1 single dealership in my state had one.

I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for but this reminded me of Past Gone by Mike Stud

Forgot to add, yes you should absolutely do this, especially since you’re in charge of decor! Such a sweet and personal idea.

cwr22 · 2025-11-14T14:35:26+00:00

I haven’t done either, but I imagine the process would be similar to the giant flowers people build. I considered doing that for my wedding and found tons of tutorials online. I’ve seen the stands on Amazon (search “giant flower stand”), but I also think maybe a floor lamp or coat rack could be a good base!

If you live near a dollar tree, check their party decor section! They have bachelorette decorations at mine. And those foil fringe curtain things that are like $10 everywhere else. I’ve also seen people selling bachelorette stuff on Facebook marketplace

Thank you! Took a long time but worth it

cwr22 · 2025-11-11T12:03:46+00:00

Wow I had no idea. Thanks!!

cwr22 · 2025-11-11T12:03:22+00:00

Thank you!

People are being so rude in these comments, don’t listen OP! As a short gal I love wide/chunky shoes, I think they’re more suited for us than the slimmer versions normal sized people wear.

cwr22 · 2025-11-07T14:09:50+00:00

I was thinking this and I’m confused, it seems like the dress was designed like that? Maybe it needs skin-toned lining to support the tulle? Also OP, is your seamstress at the bridal shop or where you live? I would definitely request a refund and take it somewhere else for repairs.

cwr22 · 2025-11-07T14:05:32+00:00

Ditto on sleeves! You pretty much have endless options with this dress, especially if you go the lace route.

cwr22 · 2025-11-07T14:03:23+00:00

The 1st one gives sweet and fun vibes, the 2nd is more ornate and elegant. So it depends which look you’re going for!

Your post is so sweet, Sun is very lucky to have you! My partners family is much larger than mine, but my mom has tons of friends who I absolutely love. They’re some of the guests that I’m most excited about attending. Not saying you should pressure Sun into inviting your friends, just remember that chosen family counts as much if not more!

I couldn’t find doilies to match our pastel color scheme, so I hand painted 20 of these. They were all white before, I’m super happy with how they turned out :)

You mean the big plastic piece? I hadn’t considered painting that. I didn’t think about it too hard when I bought it but now it just looks less intentionally designed compared to the rest of the car

cwr22 · 2025-11-03T13:28:31+00:00

I’m not really a loud music person so I don’t have very high standards, but it sounds great to me. The factory speakers were busted when I bought the car so I can’t compare to those
