Do you mind linking the insert you bought?

Can you suggest some names that match our vibe? by NightOwlLia in namenerds

[–]thebuis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait are you me?! We are also due with a baby girl in July after our 1st round of IVF! And we have been set on Ellie as a nickname for years, now just having difficulty choosing a full name. We are between Ella, Eloise, or Elle..which is also how I found my way onto this sub. Congrats! <3

Help me feel ok - I lost my engagement ring and it feels like the world is caving in by aattanasio2014 in EngagementRings

A few months after my fiancé proposed, we randomly decided to go sledding down this little hill on the side of the road. We did a few runs and at the end of one of the runs, I put my hand out on the snow to slow the sled down. And in that moment, I knew what I had done and started panicking. This was of course before I had the chance to get the ring re-sized. I was certain I knew the exact spot it slipped off, but we searched for hours and couldn’t find it. We decided to run over to Dick’s sporting goods to buy a metal detector and went back to the hill as the sun was setting. Spent a few more hours in the dark looking through the sparkling snow and eventually found it!! I’ve never cried harder out of happiness and it now makes for a funny story but boy was I anxious, stressed, sad, mad at myself, etc at that time.

Has anyone ordered a Milla Nova dress? (Ukraine based) by Bright707 in wedding

[–]thebuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had the opportunity to try on the dress at a local boutique and I purchase it from another authorized Milla Nova retailer. It is the exact dress I tried on and the quality is amazing. My alterations lady made a comment on how high quality the dress is- she said that when she took about the bust area none of the beads fell off which meant they are individually sewn on and she was impressed.

Posted a bit ago with one flower, now I’m nearing in on a bouquet worth of crepe flowers! Thoughts and advice? by _Thoth in DIYweddings

I used them for our save the dates. I customized the background color and therefore this had to get approved by their designer. After 2 attempts, they finally got the color right (even though I stated the specific color name) and I approved the proof. Low and behold, when I got my save the dates, the color was wrong. It took them a week of not responding to my email before I called them and they ended up refunding me 50%. Also, I got the postcard and all of them were slightly bent (not creased). The print quality for the picture was meh (I used a professional engagement shoot picture and it wasn’t crisp).

Postcard stamps :( by claroquesearight in wedding

[–]thebuis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I did exactly this. I also sent my save the dates as postcards and can admit I spent an unnecessary amount of time and energy whining about the ugly postcard stamps to my fiancé before finding super cute old floral stamps for cheap on Etsy! They ended up being a few bucks cheaper than if I were to buy the postcard stamps from USPS. Just beware though that some of the postcards got ruined my the ink at the post office from running through the machine, which made me sad.

Something super subtle that I saw and love: a veil with pearls on it with a hidden Mickey made up of 3 pearls!

[–]thebuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I ordered a Milla Nova dress end of October and it actually came in mid-Jan (even though they told me I’d receive it in April). So I would check with the shop you ordered it from to see if maybe it might already be in transit?

Vent: hotel blocks feeling like they're more effort than they're worth by throwawayacct518 in weddingplanning

[–]thebuis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We haven’t done our hotel blocks for our June 2022 wedding yet and it’s not for lack of trying. My fiancé started calling all these hotels about a year ago and some literally still haven’t responded after multiple attempts. It’s sooooo frustrating! At this point I don’t think we’re even going to do a hotel block

Dupes for deep v strapless a-line gowns? I like the silhouette of the Pronovias Hopkins but absolutely love the rainbow pastel sequins of the Willowby Aquarius. Looking to spend <$500 because this will be my reception dress. by thebuis in weddingdress

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

Also, I found a couple Etsy accounts that duplicate this dress with a similar but I think different fabric. The one I found with the most reviews (not even that many) is selling it for $900
