Not for weddings but I do have a monthly subscription. Tbh they’re hit or miss on quality.. some of mine have been wilted or dying. And some came from Colombia or other South American countries and sat in customs for awhile which doesn’t help :(

Thank you for this!

I ordered a bunch of flowers for rehearsal dinner through urban stems and put them together myself (wanted to make sure I had specific flowers) and it worked well!

Hi - I had a Davita Recruiter reach out to me a out a Regional Operations Director role. Does anyone have any insight on how the actual 3 hour interview process is and the case study they require? The pay is definitely decent, but do you actually make your bonuses for your area? Can you still have a work life balance or is it really grueling with long hours/days?

Tell me you’re ADHD without telling me you are ADHD.
I currently work 2 full time jobs & a pt contractor for 2 years and I’m currently on the verge of burnout and confused on career growth.

I’m professionally excelling in all work areas and have been promoted in all work areas at least once over the past 2 years.

The issue is I find myself as a director of marketing (I over see 8 offices & a team of 7), Sales Client Partner, and Manager Administrator of Web/App Development

How do I grow?

Comment where you are cutting back to save money. Here are ours:
- Not doing a presidential suite, instead we’re getting a normal suite and using a conference room for hair/makeup/meals
- Centerpieces. We are doing a few bigger centerpieces, then small bud vases at the rest of the tables.
- Transportation for guests. Our wedding is in a major city and ubers are easily accessible.
- Flowers. No flowers for men, only the groom is getting a boutonnière. No flowers for parents/grandparents.

What is everyone doing for bridesmaids gifts? Getting married in December so was thinking of personalized blankets (that don’t say bridesmaid) but not sure if they’ll actually like that.

Sorry if this is a repeat question - I searched and didn’t immediately find it.

I’m notoriously bad with “aesthetic” and design. I’ve hired all my vendors, including lighting and florals, but am now starting to think through what other decorations/logistical items are needed - signage, dessert table trays, guest book, bar top, etc... whenever I google how to start thinking about wedding decorations all the sites are just telling me to rent linens vs buy frames, which... isn’t helpful. How is everyone else here tackling this?!

Anyone else realize thay they are a generous gift giver throughout the wedding planning process? I have never given less than $150. Also, the amount of $$ given to us has no tie to how close we are to the gift giver or the gift giver’s financial status. We have close wealthy friends giving $100 and not-as-close working class friends giving $300. Meanwhile, no siblings giving anything. Has this happened to others?

Need some advice! Should we update our wedding start time to 4pm so we can have our after party 10pm-1am instead of 5pm wedding start and 11pm-1am after party? We sent wedding invites with a 5pm start time because we have 6hrs at the venue and the bar around the corner said the after party had to be 11pm-1am. Now bar said thee after party can start at 10pm. We can realistically contact all who RSVPd yes to let them know AND a 4pm start time means we still have daylight (it’s a winter wedding).
