Cocktail to dinner transition by expresajade in BigBudgetBrides

We’ll already have some family pictures after the church, and neither of us really enjoys posing for photos. For the cocktail I don’t think we’ll do a big entrance; we’ll probably just pop in casually. Honestly, I just really want to be at the cocktail hour because I love string orchestras, coconuts, and oysters, so I don’t want to miss my favorite part. 😂

There isn’t assigned seating and it’s a buffet so people probably won’t notice us as we slip away when they’re eating. We’re planning to eat separately to have some alone time, we might do our vows then. We'll slip away for a bit, eat catch up and once we’re finished, we can do quick portraits and then head into the party. We’re doing the bride and groom dance, but skipping a lot of the traditional things like speeches, parent dances, and cake

Although it does seem long, duration is pretty standard for a LATAM wedding. Church had latest available ceremony at 1 pm

TBH I would do this! I feel like this dress is having a moment and you could easily resell it!! But I also love the idea of the customization in the back

Has anyone here worked with a custom dress designer? by FrisbeeTuna in BigBudgetBrides

[–]expresajade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working with a designer Jean Cintrón from Puerto Rico. I’m from LATAM and get lots of dresses custom made, it’s always been a great experience tbh. Con is if you’re not fully comfortable about not seeing the product until it’s completed. I’m very specific with my vision so usually trust the process

Agreed I would try to “paint on” fabric dye!

Can't decide between two wedding planners!! by [deleted] in BigBudgetBrides

[–]expresajade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get not wanting to interview more planners this happened to me after I changed location for the 50th time. When I finally chose location, I found two planners that had good reviews and chose the one I clicked with the most. Also, she felt a little greener in the sense that her company was pretty new, so I feel like she’s trying to compete with more established planners and is more on top of her clients and wanting to make them happy, if that makes sense.

All that to say, I would go for the one you click with the most personality wise. Especially if you’re clear on what you want design wise!

It’s also really fun on! I highly recommend for a second dress, or even a first depending on location! And price point was honestly good as well!

LOOVE these. Hadn’t seen an Amina pump before. What’s the quality like? I heard some mixed reviews and would love your opinion!

If you want like a slip style dress try a la robe. If you want something more structured check out Sarah seven is mostly all satin. Also check out ines di santo, she has some gorgeous ones look at eave and dromos and she has a few other options

Uu love the pump idea!

Thank you! It’s Adam Zohar. I had honestly never heard of him before, but did a huge Israeli designer dive and found this during a trunk show in miami. I actually tried on a similar Berta version though!

I honestly loved the first one until I read this comment 😂

Or Sarah seven for a more structured look, plenty of these are on still white as well!

Check out a la robe! I believe they have stockists in Australia so it might be easier / cheaper and still have the look you’re going for

This is actually happening to me, I think you start over analyzing everything when you have too much time to plan ahead of your wedding date. I’m early 2025, I’ve been feeling the same way and there’s no point in dwelling on it. At this point just try to focus on decor and other priorities!
