I’ve posted my dress before but after trying it on again yesterday I just feel like something is missing

Just got my hair done yesterday for my wedding on August 7 and wanted to show it off. Love my highlights 😍

I came with my bridesmaids and best friend’s Mom (in place of my mom) dress shopping.
The first dress I tried on everyone really liked it and everything else after couldn’t compare.

Then my cousin brought out the last dress she didn’t think I liked but convinced the dress assistant to give it to me to try on. Ended up LOVING it!

So I was torn between the first one and the last one.

so I’m standing there in front of everyone on the pedestal in the dress. And the assistant says we’re out of time. And then I literally had to make a decision right there in front of everyone while they’re watching which dress I was gonna pick. He said there’s a sample sale and I can’t put dresses on hold and it may not be there when I get back.

I didn’t even have time to think about it. Everyone was just staring at me making the decision and talking to him. Now they all know how much it costs and it made me feel a little embarrassed

With altering, it will probably be close or less than 3000. Which was over my budget but I could do it if I wanted to.

I ended up saying yes 🥲🥲 I love the dress but the price hurts….

Final sale, no returns or refund

reflecting back, I wish I had done more research so I don’t feel pressured. I’m not sure if other places let you put dresses on hold so you can think about it or look elsewhere.

I’ve been trying to get my engagement photos scheduled. I booked a package with my photographer that included engagement photos and she never initiated the conversation regarding it. I realized four months out we never booked. I haven’t heard anything from her about my wedding since booking months ago. I’m starting to fear that she was just expecting to show up and wing it. My wedding is in less than three months.
I made my initial request in June and she responded saying she was pretty booked the next few weeks and asked when I wanted them done. I took a while to respond which is on me but it’s been a couple weeks since that message. I messaged last night and nothing. She hasn’t even opened either of them.
I’ve paid a $750 deposit already.
Nothing to set up a time to talk about a shot list, no initiative to book my engagement session, nothing. What would you do?

So my fiancé and I decided to mix our party and pay for our bachelor/ette party airbnb for a 3 night stay on the beach. We would split apart for each day and do our thing but rn we are looking at a few different destinations. We have been to none of these places and need input on which would be the best option.
-Myrtle Beach
-Panama City Beach
-Okaloosa Island Beach
-Gulf shores beach

and of course if you guys have any other suggestions that would be better that is always welcome.

Hey fellow brides i need help!
We are in contact with my dream venue that is just a little above $5,000. It includes ALOT.
What im having issue with is that we are contractually obligated to have this specific wedding planner. They assured us that they do day of coordination.
When I contacted the coordinator they told me that they no longer do day of only month of, which is a bit above $3000.
Our budget is $10,000 with a $2000 wiggle room.
However we now cant afford the wedding coordinator now.
So do I;

A) take out a loan to pay for this wedding that is now looking to be around $15-17,000. And if you did this what was your experience? Was it worth it? Did you regret it?

B) Talk with the venue and see if they will this one time let me diy everything ( I have a production design degree im fairly confident I could do it)

Or
C) Cancel everything take an L and lose the money Ive already paid and do something else?

Please help

Graduated girlies, I need some mani inspo. Please post photos of what you did for your nails!
