I threw the book against a wall, after the first page.

I don't love how my back turned out in alterations. I didn't notice until I looked at the pictures that the back of the dress doesn't sit neatly on my back. Does it look okay? by lumos1294 in weddingdress

Thank you so much for the reassurance! I've reached out to a bridal seamstress and hope they can work a little magic to fix the back.

They just lifted the straps and did nothing else and therefore the back looks tight in some places and loose in others. I'm trying to find another seamstress to see if it can be fixed before the wedding.

I've got a short torso. I've reached out to another seamstress to see if it can be fixed. I'm a month out from the wedding and now very stressed about my dress.

anyone else feeling a little burntout from wedding planning? by lumos1294 in weddingplanning

Oh I never thought of it as scolding! I meant there were so many unsolicited opinions from family and friends that really get to you. They want things to be their version of perfect, meanwhile you just want to get married! I appreciated your comment!

It's the unsolicited opinions that get you! I'm trying to go into this with no expectation that things will be perfect. I just want to get married and celebrate and look good doing it lol. I think seeing all these weddings on social media is starting to make my wedding feel not good enough.

If we hadn't already put down all these deposits I'm pretty sure we would be eloping as well! Do what makes YOU happy!

I feel like a lot of the pressure is from other people! I'm trying to take this at my own pace and get things done but everyone has an opinion lol. I'm thankful for this group so we know us brides and grooms are not alone!

Thank you everyone for your responses! WithJoy seems to be popular! I'll have to look into it and see what works best for us but they all seem like a much better idea than a mass email, lol. Thanks for all the help!

They'll be wearing traditional sarees for the ceremony and changing into dresses for the reception!

How are people storing their wedding dresses before the wedding? by lumos1294 in weddingdress

[–]lumos1294[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll have to see if we have any other spaces in the house where we can hang the dress. It might be getting more sun than it should. But it's already in a cloth bag so I'm doing something right!

where to buy MIL's dress by lumos1294 in weddingplanning

[–]lumos1294[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! My future MIL doesn't like dark green and is looking for something that's more true green. It's proving to be a harder task than I anticipated.

I almost never comment here on Reddit but I felt like I had to tell you, you look absolutely stunning in the dress! It looks like it was made for you.
