What flowers/color should my wedding be with my floral wedding dress?
galleryMy wedding dress has these flowers along the neck and at the bottom of the dress. I was told to have white flowers to not overwhelm but I love colors and I love flowers…… my favorite color is blue but there’s not a spec of blue on the dress. Should I have my florals/colors match my dress (pink, green, mauve or purple, yellow)? Is there a way to incorporate blue? I’ve been stuck on this for weeks now 😭
If it helps, our venue is in a natural Tuscany like vine filled courtyard in spring with an indoor reception (think nature - dark brown wood and greenery)

Quick Question Halloween Wedding
Im planning to have my wedding on Halloween, I have always been obsessed with Halloween and have always wanted my special day to be then. Plus it gives me an excuse to wear a black dress. Would it be tacky to do a sort of trick or treat while everyone is getting ready? The kids participating in or just coming to the wedding come trick or treat from me, the bridesmaids, the groom, and groomsmen??? My son will probably only be 3 or 4 when we have our wedding and I wanted to do something fun for him. Plus it keeps the kids from getting bored while we all get ready.
Update I’ve spoken to family, even the ones with kids have no problem with me having my wedding on Halloween just asked adequate notice!

Need Advice Hair suggestions
galleryHi everyone! I’m totally stuck trying to figure out my wedding hair and would love some outside perspective.
To give you an idea, I have a long face, and my dress is a strapless mermaid style with a sweetheart neckline (attached photo). In daily life, I always wear my hair down, so I'm really not used to having it tied back and I'm worried about looking too harsh or mature.
A few things I'm trying to balance:
Hair texture: My hair drops curls and goes flat really fast. I've thought about trying extensions for extra hold and volume, but I've never used them before.
Scalp comfort: My scalp is super sensitive, so tight or heavy styles tend to give me a headache pretty quickly.
Given my face shape, the dress style, and wanting to keep things comfortable without my hair falling flat, what kind of styles do you think would actually suit me? Open to any and all suggestions!

Does this dress look good on me?
galleryI got it for a great price and it’s the only one I’ve ever tried on and I fell in love instantly. Should I keep looking? Also didn’t fully put it on here just try on
EDIT: I do not have shapewear on underneath, I believe the bunching/folds are just from the dress being folded for months before I finally tried it on.
EDIT 2: I figured I should probabaly let you guys know my height and weight haha. I am 5’3 125lbs
EDIT3: Thank you so much for all of the responses and recommendations! I’m so glad to see that the majority of people love it like I do. To those calling me fat.. I’m sorry the internet has altered your perception of what fat is, as I am most definitely a very skinny person. The only reason I have a tummy is because I carried a child, but thank you for the pov. For those suggesting shapewear, can you please recommend some brands I could try out?! Again , thanks so much for the advice and support. I think I will be going with this dress and try things without any altering. Also I found this dress at goodwill for $15! Honestly the least expensive thing in my >$7k wedding!

Thank you in advanced!!

anyone else obsessed with pink diamonds for their ring?
My fiancé and I went shopping last weekend and I saw a pink diamond in person for the first time. Now I can't unsee it. It's way out of budget lol, but wow. Just wanted to know if anyone here actually go for one? Is it worth the splurge?

Need Advice Wedding planning and mental health
I am someone who has debilitating generalized anxiety disorder and adhd and we are a month and a half out from our wedding. There’s so much to do, ao much to save up for as far as honeymoon goes etc but I’m feeling so overwhelmed and I’m trying to quit vaping so I have called off at least once a month the last couple months and I feel so awful. I’m a prn (as needed) employee and make my schedule ahead of time and I pick up hefty hours and it’s healthcare so I’m just drained from everyrhing but I feel so terrible because I don’t want my boss to think I’m lazy, I need to get stuff for wedding pulled together which wedding month I’m only picking up last minute shifts and not scheduling them out and I don’t know I just feel like the world is spinning so I’m needing more mental health days. Anyone else struggle with this??

Brides, did you regret going bold like Kat Von D's engagement ring?
I'm getting married next spring and I fell for a dark, unusual ring instead of a classical look. Kat Von D's engagement ring was kind of my starting point. Would love honest takes from brides who took the risk

Need Advice Shape wear for this dress?
galleryHello fellow brides! I’m struggling to find a shape wear or undergarment that would work for my dress. I don’t know if I can wear a “traditional” one with how the lace top is and the low back and yes it is see through. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also I apologize for the blurring I just don’t want anyone to recognize me from my tattoos. Thank you all 💕
