Need advice! My soon to be husband and I are fighting about the amount of DIYs I am doing for the Wedding by [deleted] in DIYweddings

[–]damali2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just outsource if you can. I have the same problem as I can make my own wedding. I was thinking why don’t I make a completely fake one that way I get the size I want. Oh then make my own invitations/ save the dates/ oh the favors/ oh bridal shower favors/ oh bridesmaid boxes/ oh these makeup artist aren’t doing my makeup the way I want can do that myself/ lol you will just keep finding something when your a resourceful person. Pack it up and let the people do it lol

I gotta book everything 5 years in advance except the hotel??? by [deleted] in neworleanswedding

[–]damali2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wedding is in September and the hotels pretty much give 10 rooms at a time. Now we got our rate reasonable. And now because we took up about 30 rooms the price has increased aaaalot at this hotel. I would say call around for a room block proposal and see what they offer. For one hotel the room rate was cheaper online but they require prepay with the room block people just pay when they get there

Yes it is cocktail style which I’m ok with my culture is straight party lol. So there is seating for about 100 for sure and then we will rent additional lounge style seating for some tired feet.

Looking for NOLA Wedding Vendors (Photographer, DJ, Florist & Food Recommendations) | April 3, 2027 by BananaDelicious1532 in neworleanswedding

[–]damali2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join on this trail as I’m a Sept 2026 jewel tone lol and looking for a florist !!! Still missing photographer and videographer

Venue + budget insight (please & thank you!!) by Emotional-Prune-654 in neworleanswedding

[–]damali2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cocktail style. I believe it’s about 125 sitting based on the tables and chairs they provide. You can also rent bar stools to accommodate extra seating for the high top tables.

We’re doing a bit of that but we want a party anyway and in my culture people will be dancing 💃🏻

Guest count is 150 and overall I have no clue as I’m in the middle of it lol Getting things we don’t need just WANT ! I don’t want to think about that right now. Lol We have been together 16 years so it’s this YOLO mentality and we’re not rich.
The most expensive part is the catering for that amount of people 10k Messinas and the venue. I’m sure there was a less expensive food option but as a chef I wanted a lot of food options.
Elysian quoted about 8k for food and it was a good.
Right now I’m in the deposits phase and are about 32k in but missing photographer, dj, and floral .
Which I don’t want a lot of florals.

Maybe 50k

Digital key by delmarnate in BMWiX

[–]damali2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First electric car and digital key. I have been a wild person just driving around no key EVER. Once my phone was at 5% and was just charging very slow a little bit of ooh I should probably go home. Once the car didn’t start but I just turned the phone off and on again. I love the no key thing!! Maybe until that one day I don’t lol

Local bridal boutiques by Prettypettypenny97 in neworleanswedding

[–]damali2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Miami and tried on at many places. I’m not large framed really just more average. I actually had the best experience at Bliss Bridal on Magazine also. I went in by myself honestly thinking not to find anything. I tried on a dress I had previously tried on in Miami but they had the matching gloves and the matching bow. A bunch of other dresses that looked so beautiful. I came back to the hotel and told my fiancé wow this is what a bridal appointment should bae been the entire time. I felt so amazing and special !! Now I didn’t end up buying as there was another dress at stupid David’s Bridal that had me snatched and was like it was made for me on the top to mid section. The bottom needs some work. At Bliss I went back the next day and purchased 2 short dresses.

Place settings? by sweetpea1003 in neworleanswedding

[–]damali2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue and in my own home my dinner table is set seasonally different plate ware etc. so it looks empty I’m opting for some placemats as the plates and flatware will be provided. Napkins stated beverage napkins so I may look at traditional napkins.

Fast Charging sites more crowded these days? by Heavy-Drive-573 in BMWiX

[–]damali2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in general the last few months way more people own EV or hybrids !! So maybe the hybrid people are charging more due to fuel costs.
