#cheap wedding

[zeldabennetobserves]

I live in the US but I still don’t fully understand the need to have giant extravagant wedding that costs $30,000. Like mine cost less than 2000. Some stuff I lucked out on but some really doesn’t need to be expensive. Ceremony and venue were free. I told my bridesmaids a color and said find a dress that suits you in this color. I bought nice fake flowers and made it into a bouquet myself which I still have and was able to make like a month before the day without worrying about wilting or anything. The cake was the wedding gift from my baker sis in law. Most of the decor I borrowed from ppl. Dress I found at a thrift store which only needed hemmed. The reception was a few hrs after the ceremony and everybody went and got their own food. We had a giant charcuterie for snacks. In my culture anybody and everybody is invited so you don’t do plates meals. We also don’t drink so that’s more money saved. That 2000 also included our rings. Honestly the biggest expense was sending out the invites. Ya if I was rich I would have changed a few things but not much. The day was beautiful and perfect cause I married my best friend and had fun with a ton of people.

#biting and ripping and tearing and maiming and wailing and sobbing and flopping around like a dying fish #Thank You to this round of requesters! banger ideas the lot of you! #this lil 'excersize' made my night a lot better <3 #all of these were so much fun to do #the tango one and the winter one especially! #if you dont see yours here have Patience! #im not done! #scribble salad #laughingstock #barnaby x howdy #howdy x barnaby #ive actually thought soooo much about them getting married and how they'd go about it #and each time i come to the same conclusion #on the day of. like ten minutes before theyre supposed to walk down the aisle #howdy bursts into wherever barnaby is waiting and is like 'this is a hassle - lets skip this show' #and barnaby is all I Thought You'd Never Ask <3 #so they straight up run away from their own wedding. hand in hand and laughing like idiots #exchanging rings in the woods and sneaking things from the bodega for a picnic #in a more modern setting i imagine theyd just sign marriage paperwork at a courthouse #and then go to the nearest high-rated cheap diner #hard cut to everyone at the venue like 'where the fuck are they???' #finally frank notices that the ring pillow wally is holding is devoid of rings. where did they go. shrug #actually in a modern setting i think theyd skip the actual wedding altogether #too much money + too much effort #the store closes for a few days and then they show up on monday with rings nbd

I've been missing them and sneezing while sparring.... so here's some rough Friedrich-Efie-Sketch. 💕

#My pen broke #and I'm too cheap to buy a new one #because what I actually buy is 19th century style necktie to be a dandy at my sisters wedding #anyways... no coherent linework possible #so please accept this! T^T #mimiart

I got married this summer!! And I spent the year leading up to it designing & patterning & making my dresses! So here they are; unfortunately my photo selection is pretty limited cause our photographer got almost no fullbody pictures of me alone from the front, but w/e

My wedding dress/outfit/what have you consisted of an Edwardian-ish blouse and a skirt which I drafted off of an actual Victorian walking skirt pattern except since I didn’t wanna obtain/wear a corset & bustle I took out the hip shaping so it just turned out to be a partial circle skirt that’s a little longer and fuller in back. Oh, and the front panel was actually two overlapping panels which could be folded back and attached to the inside of the skirt. I wore it closed at the actual marriage part which I didn’t get good pics of, and open at the ring ceremony, which is where all the above pics were taken. The pants were resale, but I did make my veil and bouquet!

The second dress was very inspired by this set of classic lolita OP’s (particularly the one in the first two pics) which I first saw back in 2021 and I’d been itching to make something similar ever since, so I picked up the fabric for it when it was on sale back at my old job and then pencilled it in as my reception dress so I would actually get around to making it. (Although fun fact both of these outfits STILL need more sewing done before they’re completely ready for regular wear lol. Someday) I got the cameo for the brooch off Etsy (it has a butterfly on it) and my grandma bought me the shoes for Christmas last year, though I added the bows to them (they’re removable and I also made a pink set) and also made the earrings and hair bow.

Anyway we recently got done moving and stuff so hopefully I will be able to do more art soon! (Also they/them preferred as usual 💜)

#sewing #victorian #edwardian #lolita #wedding #ok search tags are done I can relax #Yes my wedding dress was very hot to wear outdoors but I didn’t wanna make it for just one event so it’s also my temple dress #which had certain requirements including long-ish sleeves #I call the reception dress my snail dress because the fabric is patterned with ferns and mushrooms and one little snail per repeat #continuing the animal trend of my peacock skirt & bee shirt & butterfly dirndl #also not very visible in the photos but covering up the ruffle seams are length of lace which I snipped slits in to run tiny ribbon through #and then I had to sew it on BY HAND and oh man that yoke seam got sooooooooooo thick with the ruffled net lace and tulle #(which were nylon cause that’s all I could get cheap in person at joannes & such) and also several layers of quilting cotton #I never would’ve finished both dresses (the exterior at least) if I hadn’t tried taking aripiprazole for a month #cause I got the whole skirt for the snes (snail dress) finished in like A WEEK #sadly it gave me weird physical side effects so I had to stop taking it. sadge #oh yeah also I finally drafted my own bodice block for the snes cause I couldn’t find any princess seamed high neck bodice patterns #and for the white blouse I made changes to the shoulder seams and collar of my bee shirt pattern buuuut I probably shouldn’t have #ended up a bit wonky #anyway future planned projects include… watercolor painting for the apartment (feat. kirby) #Elfilin/Elfilis gijinkas which are. being somewhat difficult #Magolor gijinka minecraft skin LOL (I have the account migration cape and it goes perfectly with his EX colorway) #not sure if I’ll ever get around to finishing that pmv. we’ll see

me whenever the short story "something ends, something begins" is mentioned, or not even mentioned, but i have an opportunity to mention it myself

#it is my FAVORITE... if i may bestow such a title... but it's like the witcher fandom's best kept worst-forgotten secret #i love jokes i love in-jokes and i love non-canon presents and silly imaginings that will never be real #im sorry the bouquet looks a little cheap at least it is of white roses which is what yennefer had #i was too busy focusing photoshopping a folk vest on elmo's little body #because i wish to eat a third donut #witcher memes #the witcher #story: something ends something begins #the witcher books #i mean sesb just has some of my favorite favorite moments of all time #''course i know. that's why i don't get married' top 10 dandelion-est dandelion moments #nenneke being their officiant... AUGH #ciri having teenage angst (intense revenge fantasies) so much she almost couldn't enjoy her parents' wedding #GERALT CALLING CIRI HIS DAUGHTERRRR #(which doesnt even happen in the saga if you can believe it!) #yennefer healing ciri and dirtying her dress... #ciri #yennefer #geralt of rivia #dandelion #geralt and yen finally getting hitched and dandelion giving a toast (or roast ?) #wishing the couple a great wedding night for which yennefer kicked him in the shin... so in character i love it

Why do you focus on the price of a wedding if they can afford it?

Because I literally can’t believe that a venue that expensive is a thing that exists and that there’s an adequate market for it to remain open?

#to be clear #my wedding was not cheap #so when I say this venue was twice as much #I’m not talking 10k or 20k or even 30k #just to use a space for a few hours

It’s been a while since I last posted a picture here, but I figured I’d share one now. :-D I’m currently on a cruise with my parents that they got as a sorta graduation gift for me (except that I’m fairly certain I failed my final exam so I’ve not technically graduated yet… oops). Either way, I decided to wear this pretty emerald green (that looks blue with the filters I put on it) dress that I got for less than $10 at a bin store. :-D

(Also, if anyone was unaware, a bin store is a store that has a bunch of bins of stuff that are all sold for the same price. Each day the prices decrease until restock day, when it restarts. My local bin store goes from $15, to $10, $7, $5, $3, then finally $1 before restocking. I either got this dress on the $10, $7, or $5, not sure. I also got my shoes for $1.50 at a close out sale for a Forever 21, so all in all my outfit’s a good deal, which I always love to get. ^-^)

#Sorry for talking about the price of the dress by the way #I just love getting good deals and like talking about it. :-D #Speaking of good deals my dad was able to get $500 off my cruise because he got a coupon from a FB game he plays #So my room was less than $300 for him. Which is nice #GPOY #Hopefully this posts #I tried posting it earlier and it didn’t post… #Sp I had to rewrite the whole thing. Oof #Oh also I once got a wedding dress for $10 at the bin store. I learned later that it apparently retailed for about $300 online #I also got a dual kurig that retails for $190 for $15 once #Seriously if you have bin stores nearby you should check them out #I’ve gotten a ton of cheap stuff from mine #Like seven pairs of jeans for $2 each… though I don’t wear jeans so they’ve been in storage for years #BUT! I still got the deal! #Aha

[seekingthestars]

going on what will probably be an extended adventure tomorrow to try to find a dress to wear to a friend's wedding, pray for me 🫠

#personal #i'm too tired for this lol #her wedding is black tie preferred??? #i don't have anything fancy enough for black tie preferred!!!! #but i don't want to spend a fortune on something i'll wear like once!!! #bc when else am i gonna wear a fancy gown or whatever!!! #gonna hope i can find something in a consignment shop for cheap-ish 🫠 #and also gonna hope i can go the fancy-cocktail-dress route instead of a floor-length gown thing #anyway i repeat i am too tired for this #but i am also already running low on times i can go look for something #and looking online is Not Going Well #so 🫠 here we go

Being a NieR fan unlocks the part of your brain that finds Emil’s design cute

#nier #nier replicant #like I got an emil figurine from comic con and when I showed it my brother said it was creepy #i’m sorry I cannot find this teenager who sings a song about his cheap sales and imagines a wedding with bears on unicycles creepy

What a perfect day to break out the new whetstone set and put a new edge on every knife in the house! Can't wait to slice through Caesar veggies with ease!

#march 15 #the ides of march #legit just started soaking the stones before realizing what day it is #god i hope i don't screw up #im going for the cheap knives first bc if i mess up on those its fine #but if i mess up on the Good Knives I'm dead #amd by dead i mean I'll do the deed myself before my parents even have a chance #bc those knives are the very same Zwilling Henckels they got as a wedding gift over 30 years ago #those knives have been around and in use since before i existed #i learned to knife with those knives #those knives are family and loved as such #they have been so cared for that they still have the logo on the blade #used washed immediately and put back in the knife block for 30+ years #in a proper knife block too with the blades resting on their sides instead of the edge #hate those verically slotted knife blocks #anyway #off to sharpen some metal with rocks!

i have less than a year now to finish wedding planning and i'm stressed and not at the same time. venue, food, and cake have kind of fallen into place (perks of working at a bakery owned by a nice restaurant with a rooftop venue). my mom texted me the other day that she got us a photographer for cheap. so what's left

#kenzing #dj? easy i think #clothes? i'm going cheap non-traditional #decorations will be easy bc the rooftop is so pretty already #i'm kinda stressed about the size of the rooftop bc i have a big family #need to work on the guest list and stuff #has anyone planned a cheap wedding before and has tips :)

[stemmmm]

how did not giving a shit about your wedding ruin your life 0_0

because now we have to plan the damn weddingggg

#m.txt #font to express urgency and intensity not sarcasm or anything of the like #did u know weddings are expensive. did u know being cheap makes doing wedding stuff nigh impossible #did you know that theres like. a shocking amount of thought and detail that goes into these #i was given a binder to help plan things that was made by a family member for their own and it weighs at least 5 pounds #its been over a year and we're no closer to anything

[sodrippy]
