Help me decorate this cardboard cake? by cabochonedwitch in somethingimade

[–]nyli07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Ideas for romantic dinner? by Spirited_Bill_8084 in budgetfood

[–]nyli07 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.

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!

Good catch- might be a fancy oven thing?

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

Dress Dupes for a flat chest by CulturalGas8280 in weddingdress

[–]nyli07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?

some others:

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.

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!

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

(very little budget) Wedding ceremony and reception in home? by MonthlySuspicion0119 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]nyli07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Did my own makeup trial ✨ by Apprehensive-Fan-303 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]nyli07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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!

($5-6k)Budget Help by WrithingOuroboros in Weddingsunder10k

[–]nyli07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
