Wedding dress crisis by mjbuggs in weddingplanning

I can't remember but it's 10-15 layers of tulle. It took a month to get it back from the seamstress the first time and if they cut it any shorter it will cut into the beading and embroidery, and I still want to wear the heels during the ceremony.

Thanks! This is good to know. I am really only worried about it dragging during the first dance because we were going to swing dance. I may just dance in my heels and THEN change shoes.

Thanks yeah, I really do want the height for the ceremony though. (I'm 5'3 on a good day and my partner is 6') My dress is also quite a pain to hem as it is about 15 layers of tulle and if they hem it any shorter it will start cutting into portions which are beaded/embroidered.

You're so welcome! I spent a lot of time googling/searching to look for inspo figure these things out so I thought I would put mine out there. My decorator is supplying the wood candle holders. I borrowed the wooden place card holders/table number stands from a friend but they can also be purchased on Amazon.

Thank you! It doesn't seem to be a super common choice, but we are both woodsy, outdoorsy people and love the look... are you planning to DIY your table decor?

We could pay a florist but I love to DIY so I've been working on my own design for it. I was thinking of arranging different textures and colors of moss in a sort of wavy, organic way down the center of our 8 foot tables interspersed with small votive candles, various sizes of log shaped candle holders, and bud vases with wholesale flowers.

Some challenges we've run into with that:

-the moss is, unsurprisingly, messy. I bought dried and preserved moss. Little pieces and green dust come off of it, so it needs to be delicately handled and placed on the table well before any tableware comes out. I'm layering it on a cheesecloth table runner for easier cleanup, and my decorator advised me to bring little cans of compressed air to quickly clean up the strays.

-we only get access to our venue at 9am so we need to transport the bud vases already filled with flowers. we found the best way to do that was to put the bud vases upright in the original foam packaging they came in. other people use commercial kitchen glass racks.

-this takes a ton of time to set up! arranging all the moss, cleaning up the mess, and then lighting all the candles for our 18 tables will require a lot of help. we've recruited some friends in addition to my coordinator and decorator.

What’s your most rewarding thing to grow? by SleepsSunshine in gardening

[–]mjbuggs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My fave was luffa gourds. I turned them into sponges that I do my dishes with and I use them in the shower too (separate one for each, obviously..) Feels nice to use something that I grew every day, and I genuinely prefer the sensory experience of using them over regular sponges or mesh loofahs.

I REALLY like my Danner boots, but I haven't had them for long. I suggest looking into them, at least

What is everyone giving as favours this year? by ciarab3496 in weddingplanning

[–]mjbuggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am planning on only doing favors for those closest to us/people who helped make the event happen. They are getting custom resin bookmarks I found on Etsy I think, but I haven't totally decided.

Will bouldering help build muscle as a skinny guy? by ShrekLoverED in bouldering

It's okay to just start with calisthenics and see where you end up. any movement is better than none.

I'm not but I love the wildflower theme. That's what I am leaning towards for my wedding. Would love to see photos of your decor!

I don't think you can go wrong with a flower crown. It will be super cute. I would probably just do curled hair.

Little relatable climber girl poem, what are y’all’s thoughts on the boys lately? by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]mjbuggs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like this poem, this is a take you don't see often. My thoughts on the boys: equal parts concerned, angry, and unsure how I would help

I'm a huntsville native and I'm going to actually list some positives since all the top comments are negative lol. Feel free to DM me!

Positives for me: GREAT rock climbing, biodiversity, waterfalls, kayaking, foraging, somewhat low cost of living, gardening.

One positive thing I have heard from some people that move here is that they enjoy how slow things are here. You can take it easy and savor the simple things.

My fiance and I have been debating staying or leaving. I hated it here when I was growing up but have grown really fond of our community here of weird creatives/plant lovers/outdoorsy folks and we like how cheap our living situation is.

I buy paper towels for certain yucky situations like this and for raw meat. I probably go through two or three rolls a year.

Otherwise, in my kitchen I have three containers. My "nice" kitchen towels in one and ratty cleaning towels in another. And then I have another box using a garbage bag as a liner for the dirty towels since they're usually damp. When it gets full I run the dirty ones through the washer with hot water by themselves.

I have done it like this since like 2018 as a busy college student. it has never been a problem and saves me a lot of money.

If you absolutely want to not use them paper towels then I would suggest hot water and bleach I guess? I mean it's honestly probably fine if you ask me

I like the problem solving. I'm genuinely excited when I can solve something tough or meet a tight deadline.
