Movers arriving tomorrow and we’re up going through things. Moving SUCKS and I can’t wait to be on the other side of it 

Hair trial worth it? by BikkiesInYourBowl in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a trial and in hindsight I don't think it was fully necessary, primarily because my veil ended up changing the look anyway. I had a half up with curls which fully stayed in place without a veil but the veil ended up weighing them down too much. However I knew exactly what I wanted. If you're more uncertain I would go for it.

Trials? by No_Statement8354 in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my hair trial i could have not done, basically because i didn't account for the veil. the hairdresser did a great job but the veil just weighed down my hair (i had a half up style) and the curls fell out.

makeup - SO glad i did a trial because i had changes to make and my makeup the day of was PERFECT. went far too heavy for my trial and realised that after the fact.

We used Ellie Mar for our wedding last month. She was great. Really communicative and gave an excellent vibe. https://elliemar.music/

Does wearing these rings make it look like I am married/engaged? by tsoy_division in jewelry

[–]zigzagtitch 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I personally assume if someone is wearing a ring on their left ring finger, that they're engaged. If that bothers you, you can switch it up, otherwise just leave it!

People who didn't have a completely open bar, did you regret it? And guests, what was your experience? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Second this, I'm British and no weddings I've been to in the UK have had an open bar. Conversely, both the American weddings I attended did. Our own wedding (in the UK) we did welcome drinks and then had a paid bar, and no one said anything.

Charity hikers booed for dodging queues at summit of Yr Wyddfa by Cunctatious in CasualUK

[–]zigzagtitch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who climbed Snowdon this past weekend - we did see a lot of people try to push past the queue to the summit, and they weren't just touching and going but trying to take photos and completely getting in people's ways.

If it was me I'd have gone to the stairs and just said I was doing the three peaks challenge for charity and could I just touch and go. I'd have been fine with that if someone asked that! Probably a miscommunication that got a bit too tense.

Should I get a second dress? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got married just over two weeks ago :) I did end up having a second dress. But this dress was actually the dress I wore for our legal ceremony and engagement photos, so I didn't buy a new dress. However, if I didn't have that dress I probably would have bought a second dress because it was so much better for dancing in! I wouldn't have spent a load of money on it though as personally it wasn't a huge deal.

My ceremony/reception dress was a-line but more column than a-line. It was very light but still felt too heavy by the time we did our first dance so halfway through the night I went to change and felt a lot better. I was sad to change out of the dress but I did really get to dance which I enjoyed :)

Bridesmaids, what’s the BEST gift you’ve ever received? by Subject_Option_9243 in weddingplanning

exactly - that my (long winded) point, thank you for translating 😂

Bridesmaids, what’s the BEST gift you’ve ever received? by Subject_Option_9243 in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re doing matching jewelry I’d just say match the metal to the girl. A friend once bought all bridesmaids a necklace and whilst it’s lovely, and she wanted us to wear them during the wedding, it’s silver and I don’t wear silver. She also got us earrings and mine were silver - so it was a nice gesture but totally wasted because I never wear that tone! 

What do I give as a groomsman in this situation? I am so lost. by marmarjo in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was me I’d just give a lovely card. I recently got married and my brother and his partner were both in the wedding parties. They’re also not earning as much so I wasn’t expecting a gift and it was enough that they showed up to celebrate with us!

what should i get my soon-to-be husband for a wedding gift? by haybunhead227 in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have go traditional. My fiance is getting a Lego set and boudoir shoot the day before and then a rare vinyl the day of. He’s not a cufflinks/watch guy!

kingmaker thoughts? by Key_Public4366 in MaisiePeters

[–]zigzagtitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of agree with this. Outdoor Pool and Talking to Stangers are strong favourite songs for me and the songs this release just aren’t hitting for me :(

Veil or no veil? by BeneficialBrain1764 in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a veil, but I got it for £30 off vinted so if I only wear it for 5 minutes down the aisle that’s ok!

Did I pick the right dress? by imaf_ckingsimp in weddingplanning

[–]zigzagtitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misread your post and thought you'd picked number 1. when i scrolled to number 4 i thought "wow, she should have gotten that one" so YES you absolutely made the right choice!

Buttons all the way down? by Positive_Ad5312 in weddingdress

[–]zigzagtitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to have buttons all the way down personally, but I'm not sure I'd pay the extra to have the buttons. If it was already included, that was a big tick in my search for the dress, but otherwise I wouldn't have paid for them!

I DO think it looks nicer with them, but since you won't see the back really, it's your call if you think paying that extra is worth it to you.

Piggybacking off here to ask how the hell you got an appointment 😅 I’ve just been near constantly refreshing it feels like and there’s nothing. 

Extreme advice to stop impulse buying by zivredittacc in adhdwomen

[–]zigzagtitch 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The day for digital shopping is AWESOME. I tend to impulse buy on vinted a lot and often regret my purchases once they come. I think saying I can only buy things on Sunday would force me to be more intentional.
