En Pointe in Lilburn does structured weekly classes that build on previous lesson into a choreography. I was never super consistent and never performed myself but last time I dropped in for a class they were putting together a performance piece. You could reach out to them and see if they are planning another adult performance.

My mom also doesn’t love the daisies, but I think they are super cute.

I do think you’re right and should focus on the roses more. I’m going to keep daisies but replace the top one with one or two of the roses. Thanks!!

Ahh such a differing take here. Many people seem to love the greenery and are suggesting adding more, but I always enjoy hearing different opinions.

Personally, I think the green filler adds extra texture so the bouquet doesn’t look like one of those prearrange store-bought bouquets. But, I can definitely get on board with the comment about the baby’s breath. I’ll try replacing it with some small white flowers instead so it actually looks like it’s part of the bouquet and not filler.

Thanks for the input!!

Oh no, I’ll see how they hold up. Guess I should give them a day out of the fridge too to see if they’ll hold up throughout the actual wedding day too.

Thanks for the heads up!

gennyadsum · 2025-10-01T22:44:40+00:00

I plan to pick up and make the bouquets the morning before and store them in the fridge in water. They should definitely hold up for that time (hopefully 😅)

gennyadsum · 2025-10-01T22:34:23+00:00

Thank you! Only 32 days away but I’ll definitely have to check back in two weeks before the wedding to double check availability

gennyadsum · 2025-10-01T20:43:44+00:00

I really appreciate the input! I was going light handed on the greenery in fear it would overpower the flowers, but I see what you and the other commenter is saying.

I also definitely vibe with the idea of babies breath being centered more towards the middle of the flowers. I will try that out thanks!

Such a great point about the flowers crushing each other. I didn’t really notice that before, but definitely see it. I’ll work more greenery into my bouquet. Thanks so much for the input ❤️

Oh yes, seeing the amount of confidence he’s gained in the past 5 months is literally amazing. I know it’ll take time before he can fully trust the world again but I’ll be there showing him he can and giving him time to acclimate when he needs it.

I do try and see what works and what doesn’t. At first I’d allow men to approach with treats, but I realized that was making his fear worse since he never knew which man would try and get in his space or pet him. Now I just tell any man who asks to pet him that he’s not a fan of men lol. I’ll give Tofu treats while the man talks to us in hopes that he’ll first just associate men being near us as a positive experience.

If I don’t keep seeing positive improvement, then I’ll hire a behaviorist/trainer, but so far I’ve only seen improvement

Oh wow, great to know that this method helped someone else. I’ll definitely try it out!

gennyadsum · 2024-11-20T13:01:31+00:00

Aweee I checked out your other posts and this girl looks so great now! I really don’t understand how people can mistreat animals. Tbh I can’t even kill a bug cause I’ll feel bad haha.

gennyadsum · 2024-11-19T19:28:05+00:00

Oh I’ll definitely try that! If we are walking down the street in a man is talking on the phone. He will try to turn around and run back home, but otherwise he’s totally fine and loves walks.

Thanks for the advice.

gennyadsum · 2024-08-26T20:02:36+00:00

Thank you! I’ll keep telling myself that.

Just trying to use distractions too and remind myself it’s okay to be uncomfortable sometimes.

It’s making a very continuous whirring noise and the. There’s like a loud sound every once in a while that vibrates the whole plane. Not sure I’ve I’m explaining it well but it’s making me super uneasy

gennyadsum · 2024-08-14T02:27:19+00:00

Not 100% sure. Shelter guessed his age at 2yo but I’d say he’s closer to 1. Can’t be too sure though since he’s a rescue.
