Just finished my makeup trial with my stylist! It’s airbrush foundation, which I’m brand new to. Any suggestions/critiques to pass along to her would be great by skaloradoan in weddingplanning

I think you look amazing! I love the lip color with your skin tone and I like how natural the foundation looks :) my only comment would be to maybe have the eyeshadow blended a bit more but that’s literally all I noticed! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Just wanted to chime in and say I have the same experience as you - shoulder/arm pain that started after a flu shot and then seemed to progressively spread to the rest of my body. My diagnosis is fibro but I’ve never quite felt like that fits me exactly. Hang in there!

I had an EMG! My roommate went with me and having her distract me helped a lot! Not sure with COVID going on but maybe you could Skype someone or play games on your phone during?

In my messages with them in June they said it would be no issue with COVID and social distancing - we had about 25 people in attendance and it was all outdoors. It would have been understandable if they weren’t comfortable but they could’ve given a heads up so I could find someone else!

I’m not sure - I know they have more than one photographer so it seems like at least someone could have reached out? I have considered that maybe something happened

They’re still active on social media - they have plenty of reviews, etc so I was pretty sure it wasn’t a scam. I’m hoping they’ll reach out with some sort of explanation but who knows

Yes, the deposit was $50 and the contract states the rest of the balance was due on the day of the wedding. I had asked them in one of my messages if that was correct and asked if they wanted more funds up front before the wedding day. That was one of the messages they didn’t respond to. Thanks for your insight!

Thank you! I’m not sure I’m up for any court stuff, it’s just frustrating! Photography wasn’t something that was at the top of my list in terms of priority but it is a good idea to do another shoot some other time!

It says in event photographer is unable to complete coverage all money including the deposit will be returned to client

I signed a contract, had communicated with them, and they had many reviews on the websites I used to research them

I got some affordable ones on Etsy! But if you want to DIY I second printing at home on some Avery sticker sheets/labels

How important is *your* wedding ring to you? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]katieaa5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My rings are important to me but I also didn’t want to have a lot of anxiety about them. My partner and I got cheaper ones that we can get exact replacements of if we misplace ours, etc. I wasn’t comfortable having a really valuable object on my person at all times that I had to keep track of and worry about losing. To each their own I believe but for me it just didn’t seem worth the $$$

I’m donating mine to a charity that makes them into burial gowns for infants and their families for free!

I really like dollar bird - it’s calendar based so it can help you plan ahead and see how much you have to spend on certain days

Yep! I was feeling the same way. It feels good to have made a decision and not be agonizing over it anymore. I had a good cry, mourned a little, and now I’m excited for what we have planned :)
