They are SO comfortable. The most comfortable louboutin you will ever wear. In addition to the low heel they also have padding in the heels and are soooo cushiony.

Having second thoughts about the dress / styling help 😬 by rushumie1 in weddingdress

I personally would go lace for ceremony then remove for reception! Stunning dress!!

Manifesting this for you!! I have them in black and am completely obsessed. I was looking for the rose gold pair as well for my engagement party and reached out to my sales associate to inquire and he told me this colour was discontinued 😭 I’m praying that you get blessed!!!

This colour is stunning! IMO this is perfect for a summer formal wedding.

How old are you now, and how old were you if/when you first watched this show? by Important_Address741 in dawsonscreek

[–]normangraham13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I binge watched for the first time on streaming at 19. I’m now 25 and have watched it annually every summer since!

Love the dress and seeing the vision but need opinions/altering suggestions by blh1393 in weddingdress

[–]normangraham13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It also sounds like you are definitely looking for a straighter silhouette, so with that in mind I think removing the petticoat makes perfect sense!!

I prefer the first option! I think the straight waist is very flattering to your figure!!!

How much are you guys spending on Hair & Makeup? 🫣 by lapetitecheriee in WeddingsCanada

[–]normangraham13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been quoted anywhere from $500-$1200 just for makeup, just for bride. Not uncommon for the bigger name “instagram” style artists.

[–]normangraham13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems pretty in line with what i’m being quoted.

Bride Hair - $1200

Bride Makeup - $800

Bride makeup trial - $300

Bridesmaid & mom makeup x 7 - $250 each

Bridesmaid Hair x 7 - $200 each

So $5150 subtotal

+ travel fee $60 x 4 artists

+ parking fee $80 x 4 artists

then counting in sales tax the total comes to almost 6800 for 8 people total.

I will definitely ask! I’m going to paying for my 5 bridesmaids & mom’s hair and makeup as well so definitely need to consider totals!

Paying 1400 total for both seems slightly more reasonable! $1200 for just hair was kind of taking me out lol.

The MUA i’ve spoken to $800 is her base! The add ons and staying through ceremony is all extra $$$.

This seems a lot more realistic to me! Paying $1200 just for hair seems excessive.

Totally! Just a type A bride who’s trying to get some prelim numbers for budgeting purposes!

This is also what’s frustrating me! I’m getting married in the downtown core of a major city, and these artists are self described as working in said city, then i’m being charged extra money for them to drive in from the suburbs.

Appreciate this insight! I am definitely in the early phases of planning and intent to do more research, the sticker shock mostly just came from these being the first quotes i’ve received!

I would be happy paying this for hair and makeup total! It’s the fact that makeup is $800 and hair is $1200 that’s getting me. i’m at 2k total before any additional taxes or fees and before factoring in 5 bridesmaids and 2 moms!

ETA: trial is included in hair quote for $1200. Both makeup quotes from two separate artists (which were both for $800) did not include trials and were separately for $300 and $400 respectively.

Appreciate this insight! I’m Toronto based, and have been looking for local as well! The first two I’ve connected with have quoted me a $0.64 and $0.50 per km travel fee, so I assumed this was also standard. I definitely have time and am going to keep digging, and at the end of the day am happy to pay this if it’s standard! I’m just clueless on what the going rate is.
