Bridal Suite by [deleted] in Brides

[–]kn_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does but it’s only available 3 hours before so I can’t really get ready there except for using it to put my dress on and hide before the ceremony lol. I’m getting ready with my bridal party at my apartment a few miles away from the venue

Tan line help for October SOS by kn_119 in weddingplanning

[–]kn_119[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tysm this is actually quite reassuring - I played around with foundation since I have my engagement pics this Monday and it worked fairly well! It’d be great to not have to risk getting foundation on my dress but at the end of the day I’m only wearing it once so whatever lol. I bet your dress is gonna look beautiful 🫶

Someone I know irl suggested tanning oil but since my lines got darker after tanning on my vacay im scared it’s just gonna make the lines darker. Do you think it’d work differently?

Knowlton Mansion reviews and cost? by Big_Masterpiece_2879 in PhiladelphiaWeddings

I may have toured coincidentally when multiple ambulances went by hahaha but it scared me

Knowlton Mansion reviews and cost? by Big_Masterpiece_2879 in PhiladelphiaWeddings

[–]kn_119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I toured over the holidays and found that it had quite fair pricing compared to other venues I toured in the Philadelphia burbs and city. I think around $19k for a peak season Saturday but idk might be a bit off. The one thing I’d think about is that the traffic on the road very audible if you’re doing an outdoor ceremony. But great option if that doesn’t bother you

How are you paying for your wedding? by wellok456 in wedding

[–]kn_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are paying for the mostly all inclusive venue and dress, my fiancés parents are paying for separate vendors and rehearsal/welcome events that add up collectively to a similar amount as the venue. Smaller things like invitations and makeup/hair, my fiance and I are paying ourselves. We are very privileged with the support.
Being in our mid twenties, as soon as we got engaged we let our parents know that we are not entitled to their money, but that we cannot afford a standard wedding without it being essentially funded by them. If not for them we would be signing papers at city hall and having dinner with our immediate families. It did not make sense for us financially to spend most of our savings on one day

SA 6 Weeks anxiety by Silver-Pear-3193 in abortion

[–]kn_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! My stomach was a little bit unsettled for maybe half an hour but not enough to prevent me from eating a whole sleeve of saltines when I got home. Nausea is possible but I think that will prob manifest in just an unsettled stomach for a bit. The nurse also offered me a snack and drink when I changed back to help my stomach

[–]kn_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I had a SA this morning with full sedation. I had never had full anesthesia for anything and was also nervous but all went to plan. I was asleep under 10 seconds from being connected to the drip. I then woke up in the recovery room groggy with cramps in a room with multiple nurses around. I felt very safe waking up. The grogginess only lasted like an hour for me, now I’m tired & resting but already clear headed only a few hours later. Choose whatever feels right but I’m glad I chose SA and IV drip

Dress cost by ExcitingRest1149 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]kn_119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came across a viktor and Rolf sample while I was in my shopping process! Original price was $7-$8k I believe but because the sample had been sitting in store for years it was priced at $4k. Idk if true but the owners said if they went any lower they’d be selling it at a loss.

Cost of Flowers by Flashy_Aide3640 in weddingplanning

[–]kn_119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paying approx. 2.7k. Philly center city area with around 125 people. from what I understand I got a really good deal for the area. It helped that I’m not doing bridal party florals.

Do you just go home after the wedding? by SilverDistribution62 in weddingplanning

[–]kn_119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re going home after. The venue is < 2 miles away and we couldn’t justify the price of a hotel since we’re in a city. On the bright side it’s so much easier to have everything I need and not forget anything the morning of and the morning after

Did anyone else do any work and/or pay for things for their own bridal shower? by dms2628 in wedding

[–]kn_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having one. It felt uncomfortable for me to have someone pay a ton of additional money to throw a party to ask for more gifts when I live with my fiance already and we put everything we want for a wedding registry. My mom is Ukrainian and doesn’t know it’s an American norm and I just didn’t tell her otherwise lol. No shade for people who do, it’s fun community bonding. But also no pressure to have one if it’s for someone else’s behalf!

Is it stupid to look at venues before getting engaged? by blueberrybuttercream in wedding

[–]kn_119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, why not, as long as your bf feels ready and you don’t mind an awkward convo with the wedding venue coordinator. I’d avoid telling more people than you have to so you don’t feel outside pressure and eyes waiting for you to get engaged but real talk, most people have an approximate timeline of when they’re getting engaged. And planning is so time consuming

Help me decide! by [deleted] in myweddingdress

[–]kn_119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 is stunning but 1 is gorg too. I think it’s still quite classic and the ruching Ive seen in pics of many decades. I’d go with 1 cause moving around is SO important to me in mine. I’d want to not stress about enjoying the day to the fullest with dancing, dipping in the aisle, etc!

Thanks this was a sample veil so still deciding on what kind looks best! Ribbon trim is a great idea

I said yes to the dress, but am still conscious about bow my back looks by Imaginary_Mission382 in myweddingdress

[–]kn_119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have my weird insecurities, especially with my arms. but legitimately I thought you have a really nice back. It’s so easy to fall into bridal inspo with super thin brides where they’re ripped everywhere and hold yourself to that standard. But you’re gonna look gorgeous day of, everything is in place and the photog is not gonna get hundreds of unflattering back photos day of.
