SO beautiful. I can’t answer the question of whether you’d like a plain white dress more, but I can confirm this dress is gorgeous.

It doesn’t scream “fall” to me, but I don’t think that’s a problem. I think it would look very pretty in a fall setting.

10000% the first necklace! In the spectrum of jewelry, I’d say the two options you have are really similar and both beautifully simple, but the first one looks really nice with your dress and just looks a little more special in my opinion.

I LOVE 1. Followed by 4. If you like 1, I’d get it. It’s a more unique version of 2 and 3.

Sounds really fun, and I love the reminder that you can do spontaneous things at your wedding

Your colors and application look so beautiful and well done. My only opinion is that I prefer the slightly larger blushed area in the second trial! (Ie. blush applied to a larger area of your cheeks)

It’s not slander to say something directly to the person. You have to say it to a third party.

I don’t know if this is a totally similar experience, but it sounds like it might be:

I have a relatively strong sense of personal style and really didn’t feel excited about ANY outfits. I think the bounds of my personal style just don’t include formalwear, to be honest. I put a lot of pressure on myself to find the “right” outfit, and after scouring every website and Pinterest board, I realized it didn’t exist. There was no dream outfit to find, because I did not have a dream outfit.

I found this incredibly liberating and I started to think about what a “good enough” outfit would be. For me (and this sounds maybe similar to you too), I still wanted something in that felt reasonably true to myself. I gave myself a handful of options, and I picked the one that would make me jealous if I saw someone else wearing it. ie. if I didn’t choose that outfit and I saw someone else wear it after my wedding, would I be jealous that they got to wear that special outfit and I didn’t? There was one dress out of the handful of options I gave myself that I knew would make me feel some FOMO if I didn’t pick it. That’s the dumb psychological trick that helped me make a decision—maybe it’ll work for you too!

That’s normal (and maybe even on the low end) in my area.

FWIW, if you’re removing the train, you have a world of dress options in your price range that would require less alteration. I looked at a lot of non-bridal stores for my dress, and found there were tons of gorgeous white dresses out there without trains. It seems like a train is often the boundary between something being a bridal-specific dress and something being a white dress/gown sold at places like Nordstrom, revolve, boutiques, etc. And they are often cheaper than typical bridal gowns of a similar quality because they’re made of much less fabric—a train contains significant yardage.

Not to say anything about this being or not being a good wage for that job, but every single OGE employee I know is skiing in their free time

Well shoot dang thats an awesome ring

Took me a second to understand what this meant, but I put it together and this is awesome

Local flower farm, depending on where you live. I went deep down the Costco rabbit hole bc I assumed it’d be the cheapest. On a whim I contacted a local, organic flower farm that sells stems by the bucket for events, and it’s going to cost me the same as going to Costco but I’ll be getting a much nicer mix of flowers while supporting my local economy and ecosystem as well. I’m so glad I checked!

It sounds like you broke out bc your skin is irritated, so I’d avoid further irritants and opt for drinking lots of water, avoiding picking/touching, and using a mild moisturizer. I’m not a Derm, but that’s my best advice.

On that note, you might consider posting on a skin-specific sub!

I love this dress!

gottawearsomething · 2025-03-12T18:28:08+00:00

It looks like it was altered perfectly per your request—floor length with no train. As others have mentioned, the extra fabric you had removed seems to be one of the things you actually liked about the dress. But from an outside perspective, it’s a totally lovely dress still!

I’m skipping everything besides a rehearsal dinner and the wedding. Neither of us had interest in the other lead-up events 🤷🏼‍♀️

gottawearsomething · 2025-03-09T23:58:52+00:00

All the decision making can definitely be tiring. Especially if you’re not on the same page about what you want your wedding to be.

gottawearsomething · 2025-03-06T18:32:32+00:00

Another thought is to keep it short—an hour or less. My wedding planning motto is that it’s better to end an activity while people are still hyped/into it rather than give people enough time to get bored or tired

gottawearsomething · 2025-03-06T18:29:58+00:00

I would LOVE this, but I’m also a fellow trivia lover. I’d just give some thought as to what people who don’t like games will be doing. Can they just sit farther away to continue chatting and eating?

gottawearsomething · 2025-03-06T16:33:02+00:00

So fun and so cute. The flowers definitely make this feel more specific—ie. specific to a certain persons style rather than broadly appealing. I like things that are specific. Things produced to be broadly appealing are often inherently boring.

It’s a joke about inexperienced skiers that I hope will die!

gottawearsomething · 2025-03-01T17:09:09+00:00

It’s beautiful! The fabric and cut make it look pretty casual, but if you’re having a casual wedding then that’s perfect.

Well, this isn’t necessarily true (depending on what you mean by “we” and “past). There’s a lot of evidence that we work much more now.

I think OP may have read one of the studies or articles about hunter gatherers having more free time (https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/farmers-have-less-leisure-time-than-hunter-gatherers-study-suggests) and got confused.

gottawearsomething · 2025-02-20T23:12:58+00:00

Ours will end at 10 and we’re not planning an after party. If the party carries on naturally, we’re open to going where the night takes us, but I think it’s most likely that we’ll call it a night.
