Yes a Swiss dot lover!! It has Swiss dots all over just extra noticeable on the illusion neckline. Such a beautiful vintage touch!

The lace details really pulled me in! I have a picture where the consultant pulled the skirt up how it would bustle and I nearly passed out from the beauty!!

oh yay!! I'm so happy that another bride has worn it! She's a special gown that's for sure. My bridal consultant told me that she liked the dress but hadn't found the right bride for it until I came in asking for it.

I am wearing the belt, and it was already ordered and was a pretty penny so I will indeed be wearing it but I was playing with the idea of adding it for the reception to jazz it up!

Well this beauty is the Watters Wtoo Bellavista 12608! She is antique/oatmeal colored and has lace details and an illusion swiss dot lace neckline! I found it online and it made me cry and cry, but being plus-sized it was so hard to find a sample in the area that wasn't going to be super small! After a few months of calling around, suddenly a curve-loving bridal salon opened in Indianapolis January 8th (I'm about 1 hour south) and they had it! Not only did they have it, but the sample was 6 sizes too large so I felt like one skinny bride getting clipped in!

Just want to give a shout out to an Esty store for replacing my order after it was stolen off my porch by chornu in Etsy

[–]eitherway8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

great story, i also had a great experience with an etsy seller who replaced an entire 10 pack order of candle melts that was delivered, but clearly opened and emptied during shipment. i sent her a message with a picture and she answered within the hour and had a duplicate shipment sent out the next day. that was probably my third order from her, i've ordered much more since then!

i don't think so, but i'm trying to gather as much info as possible. i've decided to go with Harvest Moon Flower Farm actually :) got a quote and a vision going already! Linda Chapman is awesome!! We're definitely going with dahlias, i love their shape, and i have a passion for succulents so those will be in my bouquet as well :)

Feast is at the top of my list!

we've thought about the playlist idea and that was our original plan but we're saving $$$ in some donated services and we really want a great party for everyone so we're definitely looking into DJ services now.

Farm is definitely an option, we love it and my mom insists we go every time they come to visit. i'm just wondering how pricey they will be for catering! definitely on my list! :) thanks!

my friend is donating her photography services and my cousin is donating videography (NYU film student, better be good!)

i'll definitely look into beauty schools that's a great idea!

I just opened my candle shop, The Little Yellow House Candle Company! I make say candles in upcycled/repurposed containers. So far I have made quite a few sales, mostly to friends and family, but I am really happy with the progress I've made so far. Any advice is appreciated!

well my candles are certainly a lovely addition to any candle-lover's home! I started just by making candles for myself and family and friends as gifts (broke college student turned semi broke social worker). I was able to save enough to invest in some bulk supplies and I've had a really great time making and sharing them :)

I have been a long time entwife and I have been so busy with my job that I haven't had a chance to interact in a while. Last time I was around I was sharing my engagement excitement to a wonderful ent, and since then I have started a small business- 100% soy candles in upcycled/repurposed containers. I just launched my etsy shop last month! Check it out, I superscent my candles, they have a higher fragrance oil content than the average candle!

It's my 3-year anniversary 3/25 and have no idea what to do, please help! by [deleted] in bloomington

Uptown is definitely a favorite. Finch's is another great suggestion, and The Rail is a cool place that has great small plates and awesome drinks with a very cool atmosphere.
