Oof, I was quoted about $5k, but I scaled it way back and am just doing bouquets for me and my MOH and corsages for everyone else. I’m doing my own fake flowers for decorations.

I’m still working on them, but I will when they are done!

I'm using dried flowers. It's cheaper and feels less wasteful to me. But I'm having a small wedding 30 people total and I'm the only one with a bouquet. Table decor is mostly lights and little fake candles. So, my idea may not be very practical for you.

Ordering bulk and doing myself. Less than 1k. In my area though most of my friends spent 5-10k on flowers. Dc based

Did you think about doing alternatives?

Lanterns, silk flowers, paper flowers, floral rings etc?

I meant to say this is the quote for silk!

Oh yeah, flowers are expensive! Mine is a little over $10k. But that’s because we have a certain vision that we’re not compromising on. It cost more than my venue 😂 We’re scaling back in other categories to make up for the hefty floral tag.

Yes! We def need photos C1!! 😍

Check out Poppy Flowers - saved me a TON

I got a quote for $45k 😂 but went down to $17k. The flowers are going to be insanely gorgeous, and we can afford it, but I’m still just like 😨

Hi Fishes,
Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?

Hi All, I am in so much dilema. Got a call from Infosys HR and a deal was struck at 28l. However it appears he is not getting approval for that number and I may be asked to consider 25l or 26l as lead consultant. Yoe 13.5 and tech stack is ETL technology, also have PM knowledge. I am not sure why the HR would say a number if he cannot get approval for the same.

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!
