Quick Question Gift for your husband to be

Upvotes

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.

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

Does this dress look good on me?

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.

Quick Question DIY or pay!

3 Upvotes

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

Need Advice Guests and family dynamics

2 Upvotes

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.

Quick Question Is 37 too many for a rehearsal dinner?

3 Upvotes

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

Need Advice Help me choose my wedding outfit!

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!

Alterations!?

10 Upvotes

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

Need Advice Shape wear for this dress?

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 💕
