1st photo is the dress I ended up wearing to my wedding, second is the original dress after 6+ attempts of altering it to fit my body, 3rd is what the original dress looked like when I tried it on!

I completely fell in love with my original dress when I first tried it on, but for some reason the size that was sent to me sat completely different on me. My amazing seamstress tried multiple ties to make it fit my figure, but ultimately I still felt incredibly uncomfortable in it. I ended up caving and buying myself a dress off Etsy and I could not be happier with it.

I got endless compliments, was extremely comfortable in it, and felt super pretty all day!

It initially felt excessive and wasteful of me buying a full on second wedding dress, but at the end of the day — I was able to afford myself this comfort and I’m so happy that I did. If you’re in the position to do so and second guessing it — do it!

Hi! I’m getting married in a few weeks, and I recently did my make up trial. I used these photos for reference, and though the make up artist was great - she didn’t do anything close to this ethereal/fairy look for my eyes. I think it’s because she is used to doing more traditional bridal looks, so she might not have the right products to achieve it. I was wondering what type of eye glitter I can bring in myself that she could use to help achieve something similar?

Thank you for any help in advance!

Looking back at all of my outfits and activities from the weekend and realized I just ended up leaning towards cottagecore again more than anything so wanted to share!

ETA: Forgot to add that we went pottery painting and my MOH and I both painted small fairy houses with mushrooms! A bit sad I forgot to add it to the photos now so you’ll just have to imagine it haha
