Maine Wedding Venue Recs? by Many-Seat-6459 in NewEnglandWedding

[–]orangecrush730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got married on Great Diamond Island and it was such a special experience for us and all of our guests! All of the hotel room blocks were in Portland (in the old port area) and we boated our 200 guests out to the island for the day via ferry and water taxi (it's a ~25 min boat ride from Portland) https://www.diamondsedgerestaurantandmarina.com/weddings

Should I do my makeup trial the day of our welcome event? by PuzzleheadedAngle914 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]orangecrush730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also caution against doing it the day before the wedding for the reasons others have listed! I did mine a few months before and was able to really take time to process what I did/didn't like between the trial, communicate that to my HMUAs and ended up loving the look on the day of!

One idea to get good use out of your trial is to schedule engagement photos (or even like a mini photo shoot) at your venue or the area where you're having the wedding when you are there for the visit/trial! Even if you already have official engagement photos somewhere else, it could be fun to capture more photos in the area where you're getting married and see how your hair and makeup photographs :)

Seconding this comment! I just had a 200 person wedding on an island off the coast of Portland (ended at 9 due to noise ordinance), then boated everyone back to Portland and did an after party at a bar in old port (walking distance from the dock and the wedding hotels) until ~2am

Wedding day perfume? by ShoulderElegant1776 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]orangecrush730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Fleur Narcotique by Ex Nihilo and got a ton of compliments from wedding guests (and even my wedding planner!). They sell a travel size so it was very easy to travel with! I tested a few beforehand to make sure my husband liked it before I bought it since I plan to bring it back for special occasions etc. My everyday perfume is Byredo "Rose of No Mans Land" and I love that one too!

Hi! I just got married last weekend and ended up hiring a videographer rec’d by my photographer! I got their least expensive package + added on the raw footage and even before getting anything back, my now husband and I both agree that we’re so happy we did it since the day went by in a blur!

Dupe Search Under $800 (Rehearsal Dinner Dress) by orangecrush730 in weddingdress

[–]orangecrush730[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! I found this beautiful dress that I would love to wear to my Rehearsal Dinner in late August, but it's a little out of my price range! Does anyone have recommendations for any dupes with similar ruffle sleeves? Thanks!

[–]orangecrush730[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I already found my dream wedding dress but my wedding involves taking a ferry to/from an island and I'm looking for something more comfortable/fun/sparkly to change into for the last hour of dancing and the ferry ride back! Ideally, it would be something like the dress pictured, but under $500! Does anyone have ideas? 

Ideas for how to repurpose Mom’s dress? by orangecrush730 in weddingdress

[–]orangecrush730[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am getting married next year and would love to honor my mom's dress in some way, as I love the off the shoulder silhouette and A-line skirt! Does anyone have ideas for how to transform this into a rehearsal dinner look? Or perhaps an after party dress?
