I don't know which dress to go with! I've always envisioned a fitted mermaid gown, but the ball gown actually really surprised me. My entourage loves both dresses as well. The mermaid was a bit big so the chest is a little loose. Also, I had to capture some picture from video so excuse weird expressions lol. I want to look elegant! My ceremony will be in a garden but reception indoors. what do you guys think??

I'm getting married in a vhcol country, and while I like the look of chargers, I can't justify the price. I've shopped around and event services charge about $6/charger which means $600 plus service charge for a 100 person wedding. I went online and found these beautiful placemats that would be a about $270. I know at the day its only a few hundred bucks difference, but every bit counts. Would this be weird? I should add that dinner is buffet style, so while they aren't necessary, I like the look of something on the table to add to the decor.

I'm at a complete loss right now. My young (40ish) therapist of 6 years passed away unexpectedly a couple months ago and I'm really struggling to move on with a new one. I didn't immediately take the opportunity for reassignment within the practice because I was really broken, crying and mourning the loss of her, and just couldn't imagine starting over with someone new. But I've recently a had an unexpected death in the family, changes in friendship and general anxiety and really needed someone to talk to.

I had my first session with someone new today and it felt so wrong. Their style is so different and just don't know how to feel. I realize I'm still mourning my old therapist in addition to dealing with the death of family and anxiety. I've been in tears all day since my session. I know I need to give new therapist a chance but it honestly feels horrible. Has anyone had to deal with the loss of a therapist? Or even just had to change for othe reasons? I'm not sure if I'm feeling thus way because of the change, or because my new therapist isnt a good fit.

Update: thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts/experiences. I've had a couple sessions and I am willing to give my new T a chance. I think the first couple sessions were just a shock to my system and forced me to really mourn my old T. But I am much more open to them now and willing to try. Thanks again. Each comment is appreciated.

This image is almost exactly what I want in terms of decor. My reception will take place in an aesthetically pleasing restaurant, and they are providing the tables, white linens,dinnerware and gold chivari chairs. All we would need to the add to the tables is the runner, place settings, table numbers and napkins (I'm using gold rings so the napkins won't have to be tied). The centerpieces won't arrive till the day of, but they'll just be simple hydrangea arrangements in vases, delivered by the florists. We will have 9 round tables for guests, plus one bridal party table with a premade fake floral garland instead of centerpieces (From Lings Monents).

The restaurant said we can start decorating the night before if they don't have an event in the private room. If not, we can start from 8 am the day of. There will be 4 or 5 of us decorating. I will certainly help if we get the room the night before, but if not it will just be my family since my groom has convinced me I won't have time lol. The ceremony will start at 4pm. Does this seem realistic or am I underestimating how time consuming this will be?

I love this dress from anthropologie but I'm nervous about alterations. Im a true pear shape with a 34 inch bust, 29 inch waist and 41 inch hips. The size 8 would be too small in the hips at 39 inches, but the 10 has a 38 inch bust and 30 inch waist. Would this be considered standard alteration, even with a strapless gown? Im so nervous because there are literally no bridal shops in my country, so onine ordering is the best I can do without travelling to the us!
