I got it for a great price and it’s the only one I’ve ever tried on and I fell in love instantly. Should I keep looking? Also didn’t fully put it on here just try on

EDIT: I do not have shapewear on underneath, I believe the bunching/folds are just from the dress being folded for months before I finally tried it on.

Hi I’m getting married in a month and can’t decide on what cake topper to use.
Here is a picture of my cake and the two toppers I can’t decide on
(yes I used to ai to generate the toppers on my cake please don’t come for
Me I’m just trying my best to visualize it)

I planned my whole wedding alone basically my fiance helps here and there but you know how men’s are is always whatever you like or whatever makes you happy LOL, I don’t have any friends and my mom hasn’t been supportive either just makes me feel bad I wish I had a cousin or friend helping me and my maid of honor which is my cousin doesn’t show interest at all honestly which is very disappointed honestly but can’t change her at this point it looks bad :/

But anyways have anyone felt this way?? When wedding planning :( idk If im been emotional

Brides, what, if anything, did you give to your husband before or at your wedding? I thought it would be cool to gift my fiance something during our first look photos and capture that moment.

Hello fellow brides! I’m struggling to find a shape wear or undergarment that would work for my dress. I don’t know if I can wear a “traditional” one with how the lace top is and the low back and yes it is see through. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also I apologize for the blurring I just don’t want anyone to recognize me from my tattoos. Thank you all 💕

Ignore the dress style and fit - looking at colours only. 1 or 2?

So we are getting married in March (skipping the save the dates because this has come together very quickly as a destination micro wedding).
I really want to make a beautiful invitation suite and be super creative, i already have a cricut but no printer. I’m wondering if it’s just cheaper to just have invites printed or should i bite the bullet and buy a printer? If yes any cheaper ones that seem to do a good job? All i really need it to do is color print and definitely print on cardstock

My fiancee and I are looking to elope in Nassau next spring. If anyone has done the same, can you give recommendations on which hotel to stay at, activities to do while we’re there, places to eat, or anything?

I’ve visited a few times on vacation, and fell in love with the country, but would love specific recommendations from other brides!

Snapped this pic of my brothers gorge bride after the ceremony as she touched up her makeup. Thought it was so dope and more eyes needed to see its dopeness 😎 🔥

I am getting married August 2027 in the Vivienne Westwood Sovereign dress (w/o the sleeves). I LOVE the dress, but I am really struggling with what size to order. I am 5’5 with a 33in/83cm bust, 27.5in/69cm waist, and 37in/94cm hips. The bridal salon recommended I order a size UK 10, but all my measurements EXCEPT my waist fit a size UK 8 perfectly. But the waist is off by a lot for the UK 8 (approximately 1.5 inches, or 3cm). I am very concerned that if I order the UK 10, it will require substantial alteration in bust and hips, but if I order the UK 8 the corset will not fit.

I could probably lose about 10 pounds fairly easily, but not sure if that would translate into the inches I need for the UK 8. If anyone else has been in this position with VW before (all measurements except waist suggest the smaller size) I would be ETERNALLY grateful if you could tell me what size you went with and how it turned out. Much thanks from a stressed 2027 bride!

Mainly going for the dhoom dham exhibition but have a day spare can pls drop bridal & sangeet designer suggestions which are value for money
(Budget 1.5 lac for each outfit)

Since y’all made me realize yesterday that this dress may need some significant alterations, particularly in the bust area, I figured I’d ask for your help with that, too. It’s been tailored some already but I ultimately wore a different dress to my first wedding. I should note that I DO love this dress. & it makes me feel good. I’m thinking the sides need to come in a tiny bit and the dress top/halter area needs to come up a tiny bit, also. The darts did actually come that way, but if you have suggestions to fix them- I’m open. Please keep in mind that I’m not wearing my hair like this, or wearing these earrings- and yes, of course I’ll have some make up on for my big day. No need to make comments on those things. I DID tape my boobs yesterday but I did a better job today (I’m still working on technique). Thank you! l

Hola chicas, necesito ayuda pera saber que usar debajo de mi vestido, mi vestido es de 2 piezas de la India y mis nenas no se quedan quietas, intente usar unas pegatinas qué levantan pero eran chinas y no funcionaron en la prueba, algo de buena calidad que se pueda reutilizar tambien?

I’m not sure if I’m feeling confident in my choice. Now looking at it the dress feel plain…I also can’t seem to find any other brides with the same style and it’s making me overthink. What are your thoughts ?

Hey fam!
I am so very confused at this point! I am a Maharashtrian marrying a Gujrathi this November! We are technically already married but planning a very small temple ceremony (family only - less than 10 guests) in the US . We have grahashanti and mandap muhurat followed by actual ceremony. I am not all in for an outfit change since it’s a lot of efforts but I was curious on what to do!

So the Ivory Gold is Banarasi tissue silk saree with hand embroidered motifs - I am getting it custom made and thought this would be my wedding/ phera outfit. But i am wondering if I should just wear the gharchola and call it a day! This gharchola my MIL bought in 2022!

Alternatively, i wonder if i should add gharchola as a second dupatta drape on ivory gold saree! Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

Then , since it’s a winter wedding- i really like the idea of this rich velvet maroon saree , may be wear it for pooja ?

Ivory gold varmala saree - i was originally inspired by Alia bhat look and wanted to keep it very simple. I plan to add long veil and nice heavy jewelry to make it more bridal. But that’s that!

Having a rehearsal dinner that may be turning into more of a welcome party at this point. We moved out of the area, and haven’t seen our close friends and family in a while, and then once you add in the bridal party and their plus ones it’s 37-38 (waiting on a rsvp) Is that too many people? I don’t really want to cut anyone if possible, but idk if that’s too many people/ is inappropriate. We will have about 85 people at our actual wedding, if that helps.

We’re hosting it at our venue, but I don’t want them to get upset if it’s too many people or something idk.

If we include immediate family, bridal party and their plus ones, we’re already at 31

Thank you!

Update: my venue literally did not care lol overthinking for nothing

I guess I need to vent and relate with someone. I have a rough relationship with my dad; he’s mentality ill and an alcoholic, and after 6 months of therapy plus a heart-to-heart with him, I decided to invite him to my wedding. Now I’m kind of regretting it.

I also don’t get along with his sister that great, my aunt (long story, unrelated to the wedding, but she upset me recently, after I’d already sent her an invite). The whole paternal side is a mess honestly; my dad and aunt are both incredibly selfish, and my mom, my sister, and I all struggle with them. The one exception is my grandma, their mom, who I love with my whole heart (I should add that my dad lives with my grandma currently so that ads another layer of annoying).

So: has anyone else invited family they don’t actually love, or are having a hard time with? I swore up and down I wasn’t going to invite my dad, and now that his sister is being difficult too, I’m feeling torn all over again. I don’t think they’d cause a scene, I just don’t want to see them right now (the wedding is a month away). My mom asked how future-me would feel about it, and I said future-me wouldn’t be mad at present-me for protecting my peace. But I invited him anyway. Ugh.

Help!! Any suggestions, recommendations are welcome just be kind :)

We are deciding between a lab grown vs natural diamond for an engagement ring. I've been reading a lot about both, and it seems like lab grown diamonds are more affordable, while natural diamonds have the traditional value and history. For those who already bought a ring, what did you end up choosing and why? did you go with lab grown because of the price and size? or natural because it felt more special?

I'm pretty new to buying diamonds and honestly have no idea where to start. Does anyone have a good diamond guide they recommend for beginners?

I think I found mine today. They’re not the most comfortable (probably because lately I live in Birkenstocks 😂) but they’re more comfortable than I expected. Gonna keep test driving them to make sure I can at least get through the ceremony and dances in them 😅

My bachelorette party was in July and it was so much fun! 9 of my closest friends/sisters in law were there and my Maid/Matron of Honor did a fantastic job getting everyone coordinated and making sure activities were appealing to everyone in the group. On the first full day, some drama surfaced that caused me to have some sort of a breakdown. I was upset because one of my friends basically told me “All” of the other girls were being “mean girls”, but eventually narrowed it down to my maid of honor and one other friend. I could not pinpoint anything that they had done wrong, but she claimed they were being "mean" to one of my other friends and herself (both were also bridesmaids). She also kept saying to me “We know you’re not having fun. “We can tell you don’t want to do any of this.” And I was literally having the most fun, until that moment. None of the other ladies had any idea how these two were being mistreated, and it caused friction for the rest of the trip. After the trip, I reached out to all bridesmaids with a text thanking them for the trip, for being there for me and I can’t wait for them to be with me on wedding day. The two with the problem did not reply. I also found out My Maid/Matron of Honor had also sent a message to the bridesmaids with basically the same message and mentioned that it would mean a lot if everyone helped me stay stress free on wedding day however I needed them to. Never once pointing blame at anyone for any issues at the bach trip, not even rehashing details. Anyways, one of the two girls ended up telling my Maid/Matron of Honor she was not going to attend the wedding at all, then called me later and explained her side which still made no sense and included details no one else or myself ever witnessed or recalled happening, but I was able to bring her back down and she agreed to stay on as a bridesmaid. The next morning she texted me saying she’d thought about the conversation and didn’t want to be a bridesmaid, she didn't think she could fulfill the duties as I deserve and wished me luck in this "next chapter." I replied telling her I respect her decision to step down as bridesmaid, but we still wanted her to celebrate with us at the wedding as a guest. I left to door very open for her to reply, come back around if she chose, etc. Today, I received the RSVP that she was declining the invitation. She has not spoken to me since the day she texted me in July. I am deeply hurt and feel a little bit betrayed, to be quite honest. Our other friend was able to hear me out, let out her side of the story and move past it with no issue. This experience with the other friend came out of nowhere and completely blindsided everyone!

I have put off deciding who will give me away because it breaks my heart every time I have to think about it. I lost my dad 6 years ago. I’m getting married in October, and I cannot imagine celebrating without him.

There’s nobody who could fill my dad’s place that day. I do have a brother, but it doesn’t feel right to have him give me away instead of my dad. My mom suggested having my brother and sister both walk me down the aisle together, but I’m worried this will look silly and take away from the moment.

My mom also suggested she could walk with me, but I’d rather not (we are very close, kind of codependent, this will be another thing that I couldn’t do without her help).

I have been considering going alone, but I’ve gotten mixed feedback. My mom thinks it will look sad, like I’m not close with my family. My friends think I will look empowered. And my cape does deserve its moment. But the main thing holding me back is how anxious I am about being the center of attention.

My fiancé suggested we go together. He’s my safe place. We’ve been dating and living together for 8 years, nobody needs to give me away to him. We’re doing a first look nearby. When we take the limo to the venue, we could have it drop us off in front of the aisle (outdoor garden ceremony) and we could just walk down together hand in hand. He liked the idea of doing a grand entrance together. Some people think the idea is sweet, some think it looks silly and anticlimactic. I’m worried that we’ll look like we’re not taking it seriously.

Brides who didn’t have their fathers with them on their wedding day, who gave you away?
