1 month to go! Still need shapewear for my dress - any suggestions? Feeling pretty defeated after trying on a couple pairs of Spanx that rolled down immediately. I even sized up :(

Honeylove - Just be aware of the design of the back of your dress. I had to buy a second, lower cut pair, because you could see the top stick out. It’s really effective and I even use it when wearing tighter work dresses/skirts

Came here to say the same thing. Honeylove is what I'm using. But I have to still find a backless bra. Going to try boob tape.

I used honeylove too and it just barelyyyy made the cut with my back of dress. For a bra i went with Boomba and was very skeptical but they were great. I'm a DD and never have any success with strapless or sticky bras and these kept me up all night and were still sticky after!

I found them to be pretty reasonably priced and they can be washed and reworn so to me they were worth it! I struggle with sensitive skin and they were great for the 8+ hours on my wedding day but not sure how much longer I would wear them for

Have you asked your wedding dress supplier? I haven’t started dress shopping yet, but my friend’s wedding dress shop (Kleinfeld’s) fitted her for bra and shapewear and integrated it all into her actual dress! I believe this is what celebs have for the red carpet, but it was just a standard offering for her.

I hated honeylove. Felt sticky :(

I liked commando.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
