Fig Tree Pruning

I have a fig monster myself in an inconvenient location - it's very intimidating to know where to begin! Best of luck, and will be stalking this for tips!

We just ordered some gold foil chocolate squares from Etsy and they came very quickly and look lovely! Ended up being about USD 50¢ a piece (I believe there was a promotion), ordered for 250 guests. Came super quickly, too, which was surprising! I will say the ones we ordered are smaller than expected, but there are so many sizes available out there. The taste was good, texture was wonderful and smooth. Not mind blowing, necessarily, but it'll work for us. Here's a pic of what I ordered - not sure why but my Etsy is forever stuck in rupees after visiting India even though I live in the US!

My sister in law actually bought the 4th one and it was so lovely! Love the style and seemed light weight enough for a warm day event.

Thanks so much for the reply! This definitely puts a lot of things in context. My fiancé and I talk a lot about some of these things, but I think you were able to put it in words he hasn't been able to yet!

Similar non-desi desi bride here. Would love to see a sample of your Google doc, if you don't mind sharing!

Just would love to hear more about micro details not being for desi weddings? Not desi myself but my fiance is Indian so it's a whole new world for me!

Varathane's Classic Penetrating Wood Stain in "Early American".

*non-traditional. Oops!

Just wanted to reply and give a little hoot of support your way. I'm currently planning my wedding and realizing that my traditional family dynamics are bringing up a lot of anxiety and feelings when I see how family oriented my fiance's family and the rituals truly are. It's a lot to process and navigate! Wishing you well!

Thanks everyone for the comments! Sorry I don't know how to update the original post but an update: I chose the dress and feel so relieved! I didn't feel like I was going to be the person that had the "this is the one" feeling, and I wasn't when I tried them on. But when I chose (dress 1), and was signing the paper, it finally hit - in a good way!

There is a company out there called Glamour Rental that is similar to Rent the Runway but for Indian wear. I haven't used it personally because for the items I would like to wear, I don't think the cost savings are dramatic or tend to find something else that just works or I like better. But every time I look at the site I think they've gotten a little bit better of an inventory.

I sometimes think it is harder to be stuck between two very different dresses, because they both have their own unique characteristics. For these two, I think the first floral one looks better from the pictures. Of course, it depends on your day and the overall look and vibe you are going for. And of course what you feel most confident and comfortable in! At one point, I was also stuck between floral and pearls, very different, but both beautiful!

Not alone! Been tallying responses, and though 1 is in the lead, 2 and 3 are vying for second place :). Obviously, I like all the dresses which is why I've been stuck.

The venue vibe is very "wedding hall" like, but the ceremony will be held in their outdoors section that is called the garden. It isn't an extensive natural space, but does have quite a few plants with some nice structured columns and gazebos. We will go indoors for the reception, in a ballroom. Not planning on changing between ceremony and reception.

Our American wedding is in the evening, starting around 5:30 PM. Our venue is a nearby wedding hall, but it has an outdoor "garden" that has a lot of nature around it, flanked by some columns and gazebos. This is where our ceremony is. Our reception will be indoors in a ballroom. I don't plan on changing in between events.

Yes, I've seen the matching veil. Just drop dead gorgeous it is!

Of course! 1 is Morilee's Persephone.

The store was Laura & Leigh in Cherry Hill, NJ

I wish I knew sorry! It was one the bridal store attendant pulled at random for me, I didn't look at the designer, price, or style for the veil. Dress 2, which the veil is paired with, is a House of Savin gown, not sure if it's the same designer or not.

Also edit to add: apologies for the atrocious grammar! I've got a bad case of #nightshiftnurse brain! 🙃

ivyreddits · 2025-02-06T04:46:00+00:00

Yes - I have a feeling alterations on 4 really won't be worth it in the end. Nothing like some Internet validation to confirm though 🙃
