Dress Designing!!

View Quoted Comment

Lol! I'm hoping to have my dress paid off before the end of December. So much has been going on unexpectedly, I've been having to push back paying on it.

I guess it could just be the way the sketch looks. I keep looking at my inspo photo and the sketch and I'm just not sure if I made the right changes. I'm really hoping I'm just overthinking it but I guess we'll see when I finally get it and then I'll be sure to send it your way!

View Quoted Comment Girl tell me about it honey!! Same thing over here n I have been looking at my dress for 2 days feeling like its almost perfect and I want it to be perfect before I put my deposit down .... I have my moments where I want to stop planning and everything because life gets to me at times but I keep on going !! Just wait til u see my bridesmaids proposals boxes!! I asked them already BUT they dont kno the boxes will be made by me and I will start collecting stuff to put in each box

Ooh ****$ is quiet expensive but It looks gorgeous.
I also got mine Custom made by Milani Bridal on Etsy and It took about 2 months spending €630 and trust me the Gown Is amazing and looks even more expensive.
I can't wait for my special day but anxious at the same time, March 2020😆😅

Wow what a cool idea. I have never heard of this. Your dress is beautiful!

View Quoted Comment I didnt even know I could get a dress custom made off etsy so thank you for just teaching me something new. Yes the dresses can range from those prices in the states. The initial dress I tried on and loved at David's bridal was only $500 but I felt something was missing from the dress. I cant wait to see your gown and your special day is right around the corner congrats!!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! I am seeing a lot of brides on this app doing alot of hands on things with their special day lol I thought I would give designing a try and it came out pretty good. This particular company has the lowest prices when it comes to a bride designing their gown other companies base price start at $4,000

View Quoted Comment Your dress looks amazing. That's really sweet. I wanted to do something like that but money has been hella funny since we started paying for this wedding so I was unable to do it. I'm sure they're gonna love it

View Quoted Comment Mannnnnnn jasmine u dont even have to tell me ok!! My venue is $2700/cater $3000/decorator $3000 that's not including the bartender who charges $40hr nor the videographer and on top of that my dress and my son suit etc etc which is why my wedding is not until Aug 2021 to give me n FH time to pay for EVERYTHING

View Quoted Comment Oh hot damn woman! I WISH my caterer was 3k 😂 but I feel you. This wedding has gotten way out of control. I just wish we stuck to our guns and eloped or had a micro wedding elsewhere. Idk how we fell into this trap but it's too late to back out now 😔 We need a miracle!

View Quoted Comment So exciting!! I think may is a great time for engagement photos.. maybe I’ll do the same! I actually don’t have a venue booked yet and had to just throw in a date for signing up, but it would be a great time! Crossing my fingers for all us planners!

Oh your dress will be gorgeous, Vivian! I'm excited to see it once complete!

Yes girl I met my photographer at 1 and we got a nice discount

Absolutely gorgeous! I hope you share what the final dress looks like!

View Quoted Comment Yes its getting out of control over this way too I have stuck wit the $2700 venue and the 75ppl limit including my bridal party .... the FH wanted something small and to be honest I am cool with that and he rather spend money on food n the venue than anything else because we both LOVE to eat however like I said nothing is set in STONE as of yet. I have to put down deposits for caterer who will send my invoice to me in January and decorate and last but not least the venue itself. I was just telling my MOH that I am probably cut $1,000 from decor and food and they both work with a budget of $2,000. It's like learning how to swim planning this wedding and reading and reaching everything. My caterer tasting isnt until May 2020 when I fly to Chicago to have our engagement photos done.

View Quoted Comment Absolutely a great time to do the photos!! I am hoping for good Chicago weather when I get there usually it rains in Chicago most of May so hopefully I will be able to get so good shots outside I want the skyline as a backdrop to one of our photos

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! I am trying my hand at designing

View Quoted Comment I have not gotten my pricing for engagement photos but yes but one videographer who has reached back out to me told me $60hr I am waiting to hear back from the others

View Quoted Comment I surely will be posting the final dress!! And thank you!!!!

I'm going to have to work with my wedding planner to definitely help me save and let me know where it would be best to cut costs at. We're already about to be over budget and with 9 months to go, we need to make sure we can still pay this thing off OMG! Like venue wasn't so bad but I'm about to piss my pants once we get the invoice from the bakery and catering. Our venue only works exclusively with 2 different catering companies. We went with the cheapest but that's still going to be a lot. More than the venue itself.

View Quoted Comment I actually dont have an event planner I have been inquiring vendors on my own. I was referred to an event planner who wanted to charge me $2500 just to be a point of contact for the vendors. So since I have sent out all inquiries and have deposit info on all the vendors I REFUSE to pay a person to manage those things my MOH and I have been handling it ALL. As far as my wedding goes decor and food budgets of $3,000 each is what's going to kinda kill me lol and your date is vastly approaching so I know exactly why you are sweating..... if the venue only works with certain caters then look at the florals and decor that you have to save money.
