In the end, we decided to go with Nirs; the venue just felt more right to us, and we received more recommendations for them. Regarding Ino, everyone tells us "the food is amazing," which I certainly believe, but that seems to be the extent of the feedback we get.🙂

Has anyone here recently looked into getting a wedding dress from Miles in San Diego? I am absolutely enamored with the Maggie Sottero designs, but a friend mentioned that they don't offer alterations if the dress is too long, and she hasn't heard many glowing reviews about that specific boutique. I also saw someone on the forum mention that they canceled a dress just a few days before the wedding. I actually went there with a friend a while back, and my overall impression was wonderful until the moment the lady, prompted by a question about whether they rent out baskets, started lecturing us about her own personal integrity (that kind of thing generally irritates me and makes me want to walk out immediately). However, since I've also heard so many compliments, I'm feeling a bit conflicted now.😕

I actually rented mine there three weeks ago... honestly, words can't even describe how great she was. I don't mind waiting a bit at the shop, so whatever...
Basically, when I picked up the dress, I couldn't decide on a veil, so she let me try both. We couldn't even do photos right after the party since we had to head straight out for our honeymoon, so she let me keep the dress for two weeks and just bring it back after the shoot. She even offered to lend me a ring pillow, baskets, a little dress for the flower girl, and ten small hairpins plus one big one. And the price for the dress? You can tell immediately it's a pre-owned piece, but man, it was such a steal. 🙂

Hey guys, where can I find the cheapest confetti? You know, those little colorful paper scraps to toss around, plus the flower petals and those confetti cannons too?

Megan Cook5 said:Hey, can someone tell me what the deal is with the engagement course? Like, do I actually have to pay, and if so, how much? Also, do I just show up on day one, or do I need to call or drop by a few days ahead of time to sign up? Thanks!

at St. Peter$33 you just sign up when you get there, maybe 15 mins early

hey, quick question, where can I find the cheapest grease for cars: Shell, Mobil, or Chevron?

I actually caught them playing at a wedding recently, and let me tell you, nobody was just sitting 🙂
👍

? 😍

At that light, it's LEFT 😁

Maria Bailey4 — do you mean ružica?

I was actually there picking up supplies for some lapel pins, I wasn't really looking at car bows... anyway, still 🙄

and I don't even think it's on the right, honestly, I feel like my whole vision just shifted mid-thought 🤣

Betty Davis93, was that you?

any idea what the damage is? and how much should I grab for a party of like 200 people?

Help, I know this question has been asked a million times already, but I'm totally freaking out right now because there's only a month left until the wedding and my nerves are so shot I can't even focus on reading anything...
where's the cheapest place for car grease, Iowa or Roseville?

I think those Spring Valley ones were around 6k, or at least the one I was checking out...

Kate Martinez33 said:Hey ladies, which jewelry stores in San Francisco would you recommend for wedding rings?

vagus 🙏

gentlewolf69 said:Forgive me, Joshua Perez122, for jumping in here, but I don't quite see how the headcount affects the price per seat. Doesn't the cost really depend on the menu itself? It doesn't make sense for someone to ask how many people are coming and then quote you $40 for a group of 200, when if you had said 100 people, they'd charge you $80... they'd end up making the exact same amount from 100 people as they would from 200, while having to prep half the food. Don't let them play you for a fool... the price per plate should be driven by what you choose to eat, the drinks, the extras you want or don't want, but it shouldn't shift just because the guest list grows. Or am I missing something here...

even at Olive Garden they do stuff like that...

Chris Lee24 said:We went to the Candy Shop for a tasting and they seriously nailed it!
Thanks for the tip 👋

No problem, catch ya next time 😍

ooooh, looks like you've got plenty of time on your hands, 🙂

irondrifter12 said:I’m also quite short myself,😕 standing at 5'4", but obviously, I'll be wearing heels.🙂
The more I look into this, the more confused I get. There's no other way forward; we just have to keep moving.

come on, you've got nothing to lose🙂so when's the big wedding date?

gentlewolf69 said:I’ve definitely been there, rocking a pair of 12cm heels myself once or twice... but honestly, maybe she was just having one of those days where everything went wrong and she decided to take it out on me.

totally possible lol🤣

Hold up, girls who are 5'3" are just gonna wear heels anyway, so height shouldn't even be an issue.

I honestly wouldn't tell anyone to skip specific brands—whether it's Nordstrom, Saks, Anthropologie, or even Zara—because nobody ever knows when they'll stumble upon "the one"... plus, you can always just add a few inches with some killer pumps. 🙂

167... is that even normal? 🤷 😍

gentlewolf69 said:Honestly, I had one of the most uncomfortable experiences there... This woman actually looked me in the eye and told me I was too short—I'm only about 5'3"—and basically said she didn't have anything for my size because she wasn't going to bother altering her dresses for me. So, I just sat there feeling completely out of place while my maid of honor tried on gowns, all because the shop owner decided she was "normal height," as Mila would put it... Not to mention how she kept repeating, over and over, that they don't even carry chiffon wedding dresses!!!!
When it comes to actual quality, professionalism, expertise, and just being decent to people, Victoria's Secret and Glamour Bride are definitely the gold standard.

See, it's true what they say—everyone's different. I totally disagree with Tobon. When I went to Victoria's Secret, the two salesgirls were so clueless it was dizzying; it was like they didn't even want me buying anything. They put zero effort in, so their professionalism, skill, and kindness are pretty much non-existent.

I had a great time at Glamour Bride, though. The manager is awesome, but feels like they only have like 10 dresses total and that's it. 🤷

Personally, I was obsessed. I got my dress there from the 2014 collection, and you could tell nobody had ever touched it. The lady even showed me the ledger to prove no one had reserved it, and the price wasn't some crazy $6,000 or $8,000... it was actually super reasonable! 🙂
