I actually went ahead and bought a wedding dress—one that I honestly would have never imagined myself wearing if you had asked me a year ago.

Honestly, shouldn't you have just popped into the salon and asked? I mean, wouldn't the girls there be able to point you toward a decent dry cleaner in no time? It seems like such an easy question to ask, doesn't it?

It’s not a big deal to ask after the fact, you're right. I'll send them an email...😁

I honestly can't say enough good things about the boutique over in San Francisco, they really knocked it out of the park.
I originally went in thinking I was just going to browse for a dress to buy, but I ended up renting this absolute stunner instead—and honestly, why would I regret that? I completely fell in love with it. 😍

That's so wonderful! The staff there are honestly so sweet and helpful. 😁
I think I'll need to drop mine off at the dry cleaners soon since it'll be sitting in my closet for a while... the wedding is October 5th. 😍
It almost looks like the veil is a shade of gray... 🤷
Does anyone know how much it costs to get a wedding dress professionally cleaned, and where should I go? I'm living in Tampa... ☕

They just messed up the design (made it wrong) and were late with the delivery, so things got a little chaotic right in the middle of dinner.

That sounds awful. How much do they charge?

I’m honestly getting a bit stressed out dealing with all this paperwork and the bureaucracy... 🙄
Does anyone know what kind of wedding cakes they have at the local bakery?

I ended up grabbing mine from them for $233. It was such a lifesaver, really. I don't think I would've found anything else that cheap where I could actually try it on first and not have to wait like 30 days or more for shipping. 😍

Was it the one with the rose pattern on the side and those little rhinestones on the chest? You know, the one with the sweetheart neckline? 😍

Charles Gomez4 said:Well, if you've checked the seller's feedback and it looks solid—ideally with zero negative reviews—then you should be good to go 🙂

I just ordered some crazy hair extensions for $30 and now I’m worried about getting hit with customs fees🙂 what a nightmare...

Charles Gomez4 said:I've bought a ton of stuff there, and it's always been great. What specifically are you looking for? 🙂

I just ordered a few little things—a petticoat, a veil, a tiara, a hairpiece, a garter... so I'm just wondering if everything will actually show up 🤣

David King72 said:Wait, you actually bought the dress already???
Was it some kind of clearance sale or what?

I was browsing Craigslist and found a few listings from that boutique. There was one absolutely stunning dress for only $233, and I honestly couldn't decide between the two. I can post pictures if you guys want to see them. I have no idea why the prices are so low—maybe they’re older styles or have been rented out a bunch of times—but you truly can't tell by looking at them. Even I was shocked... I was reading online that girls are paying upwards of $1333 just to rent a gown. Even that high-end boutique had a gorgeous one for about 😲, maybe around $833. I'll definitely upload the photos so you can judge for yourselves😍

Hey everyone, just checking in as a newly engaged bride-to-be! 😍
I’ve noticed how much information changes over time, so I wanted to share what my fiancé and I have booked so far for our October 5th, 2013 wedding. Please feel free to jump in with your thoughts or advice—I'd love to know what we should be looking out for if you've heard anything about these lately:
Venue: Honeycomb Hall (that smaller, prettier space that holds up to 200 guests)
Band: The Dice (booked for $1,500)
Photographer: Mladen Photo (we're also using them for our invitations and thank-you cards)
Dress: Found this gorgeous thing near the coast (I know it's early, but I found a dress that is totally "me" on sale for just $433, and now it's just sitting in my closet waiting... 🤣)
Also, has anyone here tried buying wedding favors or little details through eBay? Would love to hear about your experiences...
Sorry if I'm being a bit much! 🙂
