Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

So, I’ve been wondering... who all are you guys letting handle your makeup looks?

Well, I finally managed to get my registration sorted out too... I’ve been sitting here reading through all your comments and advice, and there is one thing I’m really curious about. I have my wedding coming up in just four months, and we need to head out to pick up our wedding bands soon. Does anyone know if it’s better to shop for them in Indianapolis or maybe somewhere like Columbus? It might be a little off-topic, but I’m genuinely wondering...🤷

It's just Daria from the forum

Can you send me Daria's number? She's the makeup artist. And let me know how much she charges too! :-)) Thanks a ton

Honestly, I’d love to get some intel on this Daria too—phone number, where she’s from, even her makeup routine—via DM. Thanks! 😉)

sent her a DM

Please, Sarah Garcia10, could you kindly get back to me via DM?🙂

Sorry, I would've gotten back to you ages ago, but my connection was probably acting up again... you should have my reply now... kiss

I’ve actually got a makeup artist from Indianapolis, Ivanna B., coming over to do my look—she uses all Maybelline products, which I love—so if anyone else is looking for some tips or recommendations, feel free to shoot me a PM! 😉

Does anyone know where I can track down some silver-white butterflies for a bouquet?

Check online at . They've got some butterfly stuff there.

Hey, James Wilson16... you might want to check out www.goodbusinesspartner.com since they have a huge variety of options available

Does anyone happen to know a talented makeup artist in the St. Louis area? I could really use some recommendations if anyone has a lead on someone truly skilled.

i actually looked through their stuff to see who might be a good fit for me, but apparently, they're totally tapped out right now...

Does anyone happen to have any insight on Vlatka, the makeup artist based out in Indianapolis? I was wondering if anyone here has had any personal experiences with her services?
thanks so much

We got ours at a small, unassuming jeweler near an IKEA. I think his name is Baumann. He doesn't really keep models on display; instead, you show him a photo of what you want. If you're stuck for ideas, he’ll let you look through a catalog. You can negotiate the thickness, shape, and gold color of the rings however you like. We checked around for the price per gram, and he was by far the most affordable option.
That's just my experience. It might be worth checking out. 😉

Which Vlatka are we talking about specifically?? I know one, but I'm not even sure if she's the right one.

We actually ended up picking up some rings from Zales too, and honestly, the prices were such a steal that we couldn't be happier with the whole deal 😁

Just wanted to give a quick heads-up to everyone asking about Paramount Pictures, that wedding decor crew out of Warsaw. I finally sat down with them this weekend and pulled the trigger on a booking. Honestly? The girls seem totally legit. They’re a newer outfit, so they’ve definitely got that hunger to prove themselves, and you can tell they obsess over every little detail. We spent two hours grabbing coffee and basically picked their brains on everything under the sun. I actually really liked their vibe, plus I’ve already heard a ton of solid recommendations for them lately. So yeah, first impressions are great, but I’ll give you the real verdict once the wedding is actually over. 🙂 I don't think I made a mistake here, though. 👍

Victoria is from Redlands... isn't she?
