Hello everyone, I could really use some advice!
It might sound a bit silly, but at so many weddings lately, the best man or the newlyweds end up in this ridiculous competition where they just gorge themselves on cake. It turns into a total mess—there’s frosting everywhere, all over the floor and their clothes...🙄
At first, I thought it was pretty funny, but now I'm starting to feel a little uneasy about it.
So, does anyone have suggestions on how to make the cake cutting interesting without it turning into a giant feeding frenzy? I would love to find a way to make the cake a fun highlight of the night, but I'm just out of ideas...🤷
Please share your thoughts!
☕

I forgot to mention that everything is in a gold and white color scheme! 😁

I was just browsing the web when I stumbled upon a photo of this cake, and honestly, it completely blew me away! 😍 Here is the link so you all can take a look too.

I really hope you guys love it as much as I do!🙄
Since the wedding dress didn't quite win me over, I guess this cake had to do all the heavy lifting! 😛
I can't wait to hear what you think!

I'm just glad you were happy with everything... at the end of the day, that's what matters most.
Let me know how the photos and the DVD turned out. I actually used Photo Color myself, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts. 🙂

Look, Kato,

What else is there to say? I feel like a broken record, but what choice do I have? In this situation, maybe repeating myself is actually a good thing. 😉

The DVD is gorgeous. As for the photos, they’re just on the DVD inside the album. 😁
I am absolutely thrilled!

As for you—just relax and enjoy it.👍

Jack Miller4 said:future, what does the menu pricing look like at Fable for a Saturday booking?

Does anyone happen to know where I can pick up beige-gold or colored envelopes for invitations in St.?

We paid $45, but I heard that’s considered "peak time." You know, summer, a Saturday... I might be wrong, don't hold me to it, but I think the price fluctuates depending on whether the wedding is in the off-season or right in the middle of it. It's worth double-checking.

As for the envelopes, check out Text Paper over in Stinica. They had every color imaginable when we were looking.

But now for the real questions... who did your makeup and hair? How did you feel about the results?🙏

Thanks, thanks! 😉
I didn't want to mess with my look too much. I went to my usual stylist in California—Zack’s salon, and his stylist is Senia—and then a makeup artist. I think she works at Sephora, or maybe Ulta, somewhere on Stephens Street; her salon is called Dorothy, and she handled the makeup. It feels a bit ridiculous to be bragging about myself like this, but honestly, they were fantastic. They know exactly what they're doing. We had everything coordinated perfectly, I was thrilled, and the compliments from the guests were all the validation I needed. 😁

Folks, my dream day has finally come and gone... 🙂
And honestly? It was everything I imagined. Every single detail fell perfectly into place.
We couldn't be happier. My relatives haven't stopped calling; they’re all saying it was easily one of the best parties they've attended in years. The energy was incredible—enough good vibes to last us through an entire winter. 😍
So, I need to give some credit where it's due (though "thank you" feels far too small for what we felt):

- The reception was held at the Fable venue in Lori... My husband and I truly felt like the only two people on earth having a celebration. It was already a massive day, but they made it feel monumental. The staff was so attentive, kind, smiling, and genuinely dignified. And the food? Absolutely divine. Choosing that venue was a total win! 🙏

- The band, Aurora, played for us (just the four of them)—I tip my hat to them. They were phenomenal. They played exactly what we requested and really set the tone for the whole celebration. Another absolute home run! 👍

- Rose Florist (over in Split and Mejas)—huge respect to them. They went above and beyond, especially with the effort they put into hunting down anything turquoise to fit my arrangements and bouquet. 😉

- I used Color Photo over on Marmont enough for the photography and video, and now I’m just dying to see the albums and the footage based on what I've seen so far... 🎉

The ceremony took place at Sustipan. A huge thank you to the officiant, Ms. Neda, for her warm words and for letting us organize things a little differently than the standard script! (Unlike some of those high-strung colleagues out there.)

I’m sure I’ve forgotten half of it, but if anyone wants details, just ask.
Now, I never thought I’d actually sit down and write this part, but hey, life is unpredictable...
I had my wedding dress custom-made by a seamstress downtown. I was more than happy with it. I'd seen the design online, and since it wasn't available anywhere in America, she made it from scratch for me. Everyone says it looks even better than the original. The trouble started after the wedding, though. To make a long story short, I wanted to keep the dress, but things got complicated. In the end, I was asked to pay extra for it—way more than what we originally agreed upon.
I won't get into every single detail here, but please, be careful when you head toward Sinj. Look closely at any designer dresses being sold as "originals"—mine almost ended up with a fake label, too. 👎

Don't go thinking I'm some amateur here. I am genuinely putting in the work—searching, making calls, doing the legwork—but at this point, I’ll just put it out there and hope for a bit of luck. 😁
So, I'm looking for a duo or a trio to play at a party. Ideally, I'd like to keep the budget under 1000 USD. As for the setlist? I want upbeat, fun music. Just nothing with that heavy, repetitive club beat style. If anyone has any leads...

I’ve been reading up on the NRA, and honestly, there are a few points in there that just don't sit right with me. Still, it is what it is. As for Fable, I can't find much to complain about regarding the quality—though the price tag is a different story...😢( ) I just wanted to get your take. Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot!

Hey there, everyone.

So, I’m back in the thick of it again. Dealing with some "delightful" dilemmas. I could really use your input here. I know I’ve already seen a few of you chiming in, but you know how it goes—always looking for something fresh, something new, something current. My next matchup is this: Fable versus the NRA. We're looking at $43 versus $38. Honestly, besides what I’ve read on this thread, I haven't heard anything else about them. So, please, lay it all out for me. I’ll be reading everything you have to say... 😉
