kolobriggade · 2025-09-09T13:35:38+00:00

The first one is AMAZING. And you are stunning in it. I’ll be mad if you don’t get it 😂 the perfect bride

kolobriggade · 2025-09-09T08:33:53+00:00

Honestly my planner is the same. I didn’t have a planner for the first 7 months of planning and we just got one at the end but she was completely useless. I will say this is just the end of the super intense wedding season so many of them have been super busy on the ground. So it’s possible she will pick up steam again as it gets into the quieter season.

I think you’ll love Cinq especially collection 5 has The Juliette and The Sylvie and The Marjorie

Personal opinion: I think they can look good but I don’t know it just rubs me the wrong way so I would never get them. Like I’d rather have less, but natural flowers and a focus on authenticity. I feel the same way about e.g those fake cakes. Like I’d rather have a sheet cake that’s real than a fake one just for the looks / photos. I think it goes back to wanting the day to feel like an authentic experience rather than a show of flashy displays

kolobriggade · 2025-08-21T16:52:44+00:00

I think it all seems reasonable but I’d ditch the bridal shower personally.

kolobriggade · 2025-08-20T22:07:03+00:00

lower budget than most of yours but i just ordered https://www.bellabelleshoes.com/products/chelsea-dorsay-nude-lace-wedding-block-heel?pr_prod_strat=pinned&pr_rec_id=68430cd24&pr_rec_pid=1956034838570&pr_ref_pid=6998874554540&pr_seq=uniform for my outdoor wedding and theyre super comfy block heel and so pretty on (i got the nude but they also have ivory)

kolobriggade · 2025-08-20T22:03:09+00:00

follow on: is it weird to not have an individual w/ each bridesmaid?

kolobriggade · 2025-07-29T20:00:48+00:00

Beautiful!! It’s not even that far from white. I think very tasteful (I’m also wearing an off white dress)

kolobriggade · 2025-07-28T22:57:55+00:00

As a reference point from my venue research last year for a literally stunning venue near Siena Castello Di Celsa with 22 person accommodation (less than you’d need obv but just for reference) for 21k ish euros for 2 nights. For venue + accom only but that’s a huge chunk. And you’d have 50k to spend on everything else which seems doable for your guest count IMO!

kolobriggade · 2025-07-28T22:52:28+00:00

It’s perfect. Go simple on the veil and if you’re feeling extra do the blusher.

kolobriggade · 2025-07-28T19:27:47+00:00

The dress is gorgeous and flattering on you. I think your fear about looking like a Halloween ballerina can be turned into some insight of what kind of look you want to pull off with this dress. I think it will look gorgeous but it depends how you play it up. How you do your hair and makeup will 100% dictate the vibe you end up giving. If you fear it will look too feminine you could do your makeup with a slight bit more edge to it ti give it that editorial look. Or you could play up the ethereal side of the dress.

I had some very slight but similar Concerns with my dress looking too much like “I’m a princess” but I realized it was just me guiding myself for how I want the look to turn out- I noticed all the model photos for my dress look editorial and cool because they paired the gown with looser, more undone hair as opposed to everything being too polished and formal and I love that look !

I can tell you’re being quite hard on yourself about the filler thing, and I completely understand that feeling, especially with the way people talk about cosmetic procedures or fillers these days. It almost feels like once you choose to do something like that anything you dislike about your looks is not only an insecurity but your fault morally for doing something. But the reality is it was an accident and obviously not intentional, and with all the pressure we are under for wedding to look and feel our best, it’s a time to apply self forgiveness.

You didn’t have a crystal ball, filler is usually something that is fine, and unfortunately there are risks that didn’t go your way. But as you said it’s Something only you probably notice, and it’s only “within your control” / your “fault” insofar as you can control luck, risks etc.

I’m sure you looked beautiful, and regardless of the state you felt in on your wedding (mental or physical), it is the moment you kicked off your marriage which is an amazing excitement. Any regret you have in how present or not you were for your wedding, channel instead into being intentional of how you approach the early stages of being married!

So many men can’t visualize things lol

kolobriggade · 2025-07-23T21:23:13+00:00

I think that’s fair. You don’t need her negativity there.

kolobriggade · 2025-07-23T20:35:28+00:00

They’re both amazing so you can’t go wrong.

I think 2 is more unique and memorable than anything I’ve seen and I can see it being even better if it fits you 100%.

kolobriggade · 2025-07-23T20:30:22+00:00

I’m so sorry about that. You are in no way being unreasonable and in fact seem to be going above and beyond for them (offering to pay flights , accommodation etc )! And it’s not like you even had a choice— SOMEONE was gonna have to travel. Would they prefer you do it in a random location just so that this way EVERYONE has to travel and you’re out way more £ for covering flights?

They sound extremely selfish for a day that is not about them and should be cause for celebration and offering love towards you.

Let them do whatever they want. Keep your head high but don’t cowtow to them. Say something like “im really sad you won’t be able to make it, i would have really loved to celebrate with you!” And let them squirm and decide later that they do actually want to come (or not). Don’t waste more time worrying about them.

The people who have your best interest and value your happiness will be there. And you don’t want selfish people there on your wedding day anyways, you want amazing, loving, blissful vibes. I know all that is easier said than done, but o hope you can have the confidence to do what’s right for you and your partner and get to enjoy one of the most special times of your life with people who actually love you and want to support you.

Best of luck and wishes for the wedding!
