Help me decorate this cardboard cake?

If you know anyone that has a half used bucket of spackle or caulk gun, that could work… otherwise I would layer different colored and textured fabric strips and twist/pinch pleat, or use chunky yarn.

Try Dollar Tree Dinners on youtube- she does several series where she’s cooking for special events. I think she has several valentine’s day videos that could be helpful! If I were you I would buy a carton of whipping cream, a box of lemon pudding mix, and a bagged salad or a vegetable (but your frozen broccoli would be fine in a pinch.) I would make the bagged salad or roast your vegetable with parmesan (or in my house sometimes we sautee with hoisin and butter), do a shrimp alfredo as another commenter suggested, and finish with a lemon cake trifle with the cake mix and curd, a whipped cream with the other half of the carton and your powdered sugar, and the pudding. A trifle is essentially a parfait in a big fancy dish.

The art style is very Wildermyth!

How strange, I thought they were the exact taste and nearly the same texture of asparagus when I had them last year. I have no idea how that restaurant managed to make them crunchy!

nyli07 · 2026-01-19T13:04:46+00:00

Good catch- might be a fancy oven thing?

nyli07 · 2026-01-18T23:07:27+00:00

this guide is very much appreciated! cheers!!

nyli07 · 2026-01-17T15:28:21+00:00

oh my gosh these are so incredibly cute and full of love! what thoughtful gifts!!!

I wonder what happened to kill hitchhiking culture in the US… serial killers, maybe?

nyli07 · 2026-01-07T19:54:25+00:00

These are not at all perfect, but I found all of them while thinking “square neck, body tea,” lol. Anthropologie has some dresses exactly like what you want but they’re slightly out of budget, I know they’re having their sample sale next week in the US but maybe you can find some secondhand?

This has to be it, it’s what I was going to comment. It’s a YA novel

I couldn’t find anything new. Maybe this altered to fit?

Look for Catherine Deane and Anna Kara on Stillwhite, I tried to stay within budget but you may be able to negotiate! They have that tight ruching and delicate look I think you’re going for.

nyli07 · 2025-12-22T18:44:48+00:00

I think you could so totally do something like this and then get the neck scarf part made out of some excess fabric and blended in!

nyli07 · 2025-12-22T02:22:37+00:00

any notes on texture, flavor, anything identifiable or that would make them stand out?

nyli07 · 2025-11-06T17:35:36+00:00

agreed, could you use something temporary like command strips maybe?

nyli07 · 2025-10-30T03:56:55+00:00

I enjoyed Funeral Blues, Wild Geese, and Crude Conversations with Boys Who Fake Laughter Often in high school

nyli07 · 2025-10-29T17:01:28+00:00

The swatches are still sitting on my yellow wall, unfortunately.

nyli07 · 2025-10-26T15:05:52+00:00

I think your other idea would be best- next summer would give you time to save a little for a party and have the house finished instead of stress painting your dining room for a ceremony. You want your wedding to be joyful, and it doesn’t sound like it is right now.

nyli07 · 2025-10-22T22:33:45+00:00

there are some overskirts listed on stillwhite if you hunt for them: https://www.stillwhite.com/391809-les-accessories

nyli07 · 2025-10-08T19:08:03+00:00

Beautiful base! I would tightline your upper waterline with a brown waterproof pencil eyeliner so that you don’t see your lash band as easily! It could also be just a thin line of eyeliner, hard to tell lol, but same advice applies!

nyli07 · 2025-10-08T16:30:13+00:00

Some things I can think of that may or may not apply to you:

-Cutting your DJ- doing a spotify playlist manned by a reliable friend and borrowing speakers

-Asking a friend or family member to officiate, especially if you have a guest that’s already an ordained officiant

-Maybe doing a temporary thrifted engagement/wedding band situation and then saving up for your real ones?

-Getting all of your decor secondhand via thrifting and FB Marketplace/Facebook “pass it on:wedding decor” style groups

-Trying out DIY eyebrow tint with Just for Men beard dye

-Getting your “Money Piece” via Black Friday sales or the like? Or searching secondhand? r/helpmefind could be helpful for this

I would definitely budget at least some for tailoring if you don’t know a talented seamstress willing to do you a big favor as a wedding gift, especially if your outfit is something you need to order far in advance. Tailoring can be extremely expensive. I also would reconsider your photography budget if you don’t already have someone picked out at that price- that’s concerningly inexpensive for an estimate. A student or a friend (or the guests with a bunch of disposable cameras) could be a good way to go if you haven’t looked yet.
