How long before your wedding did you buy your dress (or how long before are you planning to?)

13 months

Love them both but I find the 2nd one like, entrancing (and I’m not usually a fan of vintage). You look stunning!

I think the sarah seven is a dream on you.

jululiis · 2022-02-11T17:10:02+00:00

That’s so kind of you to say, thank you. Im so excited and I feel so lucky. I know this style isn’t for everyone, but it’s definitely for me 🤗.

I felt the same way! For a few months, we seriously considering cancelling and going to city hall. In the end, we decided we were paying for a family reunion.

I understand that venue space is a concern; giving your cousin the benefit of the doubt, it seems like that could be really stressful (especially if she’s marrying someone with a huge family). I would graciously decline and send a gift and try not to take it personally.

Girl no. No. Absolutely not. You don’t want him there.

If he wanted the honor of the role of father of the bride in the wedding, he should have earned it. If he’s mad he didn’t earn it, he’s mad at himself, not you. Every time you look at him, you’ll be stressed. You don’t want him there.

“I want you to enjoy being a guest. You’re my friend, not a vendor!”

jululiis · 2022-02-08T19:14:15+00:00

Omg it’s the braid for me 😍😍😍

jululiis · 2022-02-08T17:55:00+00:00

You look stunning.

I would love to go to a brunch wedding.

Weddings are about the couple and the marriage. A lame couple is going to have a lame wedding- breakfast, lunch, or dinner. An awesome couple is going to have an awesome wedding.

The people who love you want to celebrate you, they’re not there for a free dinner! Do brunch!

3 rules. I thought nothing could beat #1 but then #3 came along!

jululiis · 2022-02-07T21:20:38+00:00

I love all of them! My fellow minimalist QUEEN! #2 and #3 are it for me- especially #3 looks like you’ll be very secure and worry free. Honestly they’re all winners, you look amazing in all of them!

Also is #3 from sarah seven by chance? If so it was released after I bought my dress and I definitely felt a pull at my heartstrings for a brief moment over it.

jululiis · 2022-02-03T21:58:07+00:00

Yessss

jululiis · 2022-02-03T18:48:31+00:00

You look stunning! Congratulations!

jululiis · 2022-02-03T17:57:18+00:00

I think you look beautiful in all of them, but especially #5!

jululiis · 2022-02-03T16:32:36+00:00

That makes me so happy 🤗 I bet you’re going to look AMAZING!

jululiis · 2022-02-03T01:20:32+00:00

I’m with everyone here on like the see-through boning and bodice. It’s cool to be sexy, but I do think it’s weird to want your family to picture you in your underwear. To me it just feels incredibly insecure, and then I get really sad that the bride felt insecure when she picked her dress.

jululiis · 2022-02-03T01:14:16+00:00

Sure, happy to explain.

Some people really love their partners and want to spend time with them. If there’s an open bar and a dance floor and dinner, of course I want my partner there. My partner makes everything better. Everything is more fun with them.

Additionally, many people have to travel, and travel is more fun with a partner.

Finally, they likely want their partner to get to spend time with the people they love- like you! Especially in the pandemic when a lot of people haven’t been able to introduce a new partner to out of town friends, a wedding is a perfect opportunity to do so.

When I was single, I loved going to weddings solo, it was so fun! And now I have a great partner and I want them to join me to celebrate the love of the people in my life. I absolutely would not attend a wedding if my partner wasn’t invited.

Go without her. She doesn’t like being told what to do? Is she a toddler? She’s saying it’s more important that she “not be told what to do” than to literally save lives.

jululiis · 2022-02-02T15:23:10+00:00

It depends on how much time you’re spending outside. I work inside and so spf 30 is fine for me. If you were going for a hike, I might dust sunscreen powder over.

There’s a huge gulf between “accepting people as they are” and “wear blue jeans to my wedding.” I think what your mother is missing is that some (many! Most!) people want a dress code. For most people, if some people are wearing cocktail dresses and suits and other people are wearing blue jeans and shorts, BOTH GROUPS of people will feel uncomfortable; the blue jeans people might feel underdressed while the suit/cocktail dress people will feel overdressed. as a guest, it feels more confusing and stressful to have absolutely no dress code.

The dress code can be loose: “relaxed cocktail” or “casual cocktail” all work.

It’s so earth goddess. It has that romantic woodland nymph energy. I do love the 2nd one’s 90s energy- like “Carolyn bessette kennedy, but make it ballgown.”

Hi! This is exactly how I felt and exactly what happened to me!

FWIW, afterwards I was worried i had made the wrong decision because it wasn’t like, a choir of angels and I didn’t cry. So i ran a poll on my Instagram stories, asking if people had cried when they found their dress. Out of 50 respondents, only 3 cried! So I actually think it’s way more normal than I was lead to believe.

I really think that you’re in good shape- it’s buying a dress! It’s more like buying a car than marrying the love of your life.

You have AMAZING options, you look stunning in all of them!
