/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>8003597
To be honest, I'd love to incorporate my weebyness to my wedding. But the example you used is tacky as fuck OP. The dress looks cheap, the staff is childish and the wig color doesn't suit her. It is possible to have elements of your hobby be it cosplay or Lolita and do it well, unfortunately the girl in the picture failed quite horribly.

>>8003597
A Game of Thrones wedding would be nice

It looks so cheap. That dress and hair combo are absolutely grotesque. I also hate it when bridezillas put their bridesmaids in absolutely ugly/boring dresses while making themselves the center of attention in the most tacky and obvious ways (did she really need a fucking scepter?) Why did she do senshi wands and then give them all the same dress and then have different hair? Ew. The flower girls are the only ones with cute dresses.
If I had a wedding, I would want to put my bridesmaids in dresses that would show their beauty. Assuming they're important people in my life, I couldn't bear to see them in anything less that wouldn't make them look amazing. Obviously, it still would be -my- day, but me looking beautiful next to my bridesmaids who look like peasants in comparison wouldn't sit right with me. It's downright shameful and self-centered.

As long as they had fun I guess none of it matters. But as an outsider, this is so poor and embarrassing.

>>8003624
I'm actually a wedding planner and GoT weddings have gotten popular.

I can appreciate all the work she and her friends put into the dress but that waist line is very unflattering. Why did she use a white top and pink skirt? The whole thing should have been only pink.

>>8003630

>>8003633

>>8003633
I love everything here.

>>8003641
Thank you anon! This is actually a collage I put together for a friend that wanted a GoT theme.
We went with roses made from book pages for a lot of decor too.

See,
>>8003635

>>8003630

Classy as fuck. It can be done right and nicely with a bit of effort.

I guess since this is a wedding dress general I have a question: Why are so many wedding dresses sleeveless? I'm planning my wedding and I really want to find a dress with sleeves since I prefer the look and hate my arms, but it's really hard to find a selection of styles.

Why is that?

>>8003624

considering how many the weddings/marriages in GoT end, I'd not want to theme mine around it...

>>8003647
That is just the 'in' style right now, anon-chan. Try looking at dresses with shrugs/boleros. There are a lot of them out there.

Please tell me you have a website!

>>8003659
I do not yet! I am actually still in the middle of getting certified through the ABC and taking a few more event planning courses before I really try to get my business up and running.

Gah I'm looking forward to seeing photos from girlyhoot's wedding in May. It looks she's buying her dress from BTSSB.

I'm a big Sailor Moon fan and expected to be in awe of this wedding but... not so much. I do like the bridesmaid gowns but the bride's gown and hair are very unflattering (not to mention it makes no sense, why half pink?). The cake is somewhat cute but looks more cartoony like a child's birthday cake. This wedding looks pretty expensive for such a "very limited budget". Love the photo booth backdrop though!

Would anyone here get married in Lolita?

>>8003675
girlyhoot/Kate is

Some friends of mine had a very subtle weeb touch to their wedding.
Instead of a traditional cake topper they had an origami unicorn and an origami crab to represent their favoured clans in Legend of the Five Rings.

>>8003613
That's her real hair. Also I think her/her friend made the dress. I do wish the pink was incorporated into the top as well.

>>8003685
Dear god, her hair is in bad shape. It's like a ratty wig.

>>8003630
Anyone died yet?

>>8003651
Never trust anyone who wants a GOT/HG wedding

>>8003674
>This wedding looks pretty expensive for such a "very limited budget".
From the blog it looks like they hand made a lot of the clothing, accessories and decorations.

>>8003675
Been done. The girl that runs the Tea Party Club in the UK had JetJ design her wedding dress, and there's a post from ages ago on egl where a girl had her wedding dress made with the same bodice as pocket embroidery.

>>8003674
>This wedding looks pretty expensive for such a "very limited budget".
...wat. The most expensive part of the wedding was the venue.
The cake looks cheap, the props look cheap, the menu is nothing fancy, and they made the dresses themselves or with the help of friends/relatives. I bet the next most expensive thing next to the venue was the materials for the wedding dress, the shoes, and the printing for the stationary.

I really the detail in the bodice of OPs dress and I loved a lot details in her wedding like her photo booth backdrop, the flower girls, the props, menus, invitations, etc. But her bridesmaids are a wreck. Their dresses are ugly as fuck, and as well made the wands are they look so out of place and tacky.

I think I'd like to have some kind of nod to Cardcaptor Sakura in my wedding. Maybe I'll put my flower girl(s) in a dress like her red one.

Or maybe I'll just put them in cute little sailor dresses and have them throw out cherry blossoms.

Or maybe I'll rollerblade in on my rad skates and revel in the pretty flowers raining from the sky until I catch sight of my crush standing at the end of the aisle and-

While the dress and hair aren't the most flattering on her, I really love the idea and design. If she took the couple things she did literally like the wands, scepters, and cake toppers and interpreted them in a more mature wedding way like she did with a lot of the other inspirations she threw in, I think it could have been a 10/10. I hate a lot of themed geeky weddings because they make me cringe a lot more than they don't but I think she handled it quite well. Plus, I'm really impressed with the amount of DIY that went into this.

>>8003671
>>8003677
This is dress girlyhoot wants to wear for her wedding.

Card Captor Sakura inspired wedding dress.

>>8003716
Oh god a high-low dress would be perfect... Less OTT for me, but... perfect. Nice poofy petti, the one ribbon up the leg. I think it could be done beautifully for an actual wedding.

I'm on my phone someone post that cute lesbian utena wedding.

>>8003663
I would hire you in a heartbeat.

My dream would be to have a wedding theme and dress designed by Moi Meme Moitie in collaboration with Trevor Brown, to be honest.
Either that, or Alexander McQueen with Takashi Murakami.

I would love a LOGH style weddinng. Am I crazy?

>>8003756

are you going to have so many guests that you'll have to give name tags to every one so other people can remember their names?

>>8003597

Her dress looks like two different dresses sewn together. I wish there was more of a transition between the white and the pink. I also wish that she had either correctly matched her hair to the pink in the dress, or not tried to do an unusual color at all.

For the wedding itself, some elements are way too garish, such as the wands and the cake, but others are really neat. The art deco elements are a nice touch, and I like all of the star detailing.

Also the shoes are fugly and match nothing else in her theme.

>>8003773
I actually like the shoes, they're gaudy enough to be cute just bordering on hideous.
But that's probably because the rest of the shoes from that brand on the site she linked to are straight up hideous

This whole brand looks like the stuff they sell at halloween shops.

It would be pretty hard to have McQueen design anything for you.

>>8003826

a quick google search says it costs around $300,000 to get a custom dress by him.

Personally I really like Irregular Choice. They're really comfy. I have a pair of green lace up boots from them which are perfect for Sailor Jupiter.

Their range varies from the simple but effective to the wierd and wonderful. If you want an out-there comfy shoe then IC is a good brand. Depends what you look for in a shoe.

>>8003836
i think that was the joke >>8003826 was hinting at.

>still want to get married in dat oyster dress

>>8003773
>match nothing else in her theme
the rabbits match all the gold used and the rabbits go with usagi?? you know, sailor moon's real name?? her name literally is 'rabbit'???? come on anon i dont even watch the show and i know this

Getting married in this dress next year~ (though obvs. with alterations because it only comes in a size small)

>>8003773
>Sailor Moon themed
>bunnies
>not in theme

I don't like the shoes, but the manga called her Bunny for the first round of translations in English. Having bunny shoes (which wouldn't be seen with that gown) is hardly off-theme for a Sailor Moon themed ceremony.

>>8003633
That dress is beautiful

>>8003826
What of it?
His label still makes new designs?

>>8004508
>>8004508
But you said you wanted a dress "by him" in >>8003834. Plus you referred to MmM as a designer in >>8003747, when their designer is Mana. Basically, you're a fucking moron. Sorry.

>>8004116

This dress is beautiful you are so lucky

>>8004510
Hi, >>8004508 here, I'm not the one who wants the dress, just butting in.

>>8004510
Original poster of >>8003747 here. That person isn't me.
I obviously didn't know Alexander McQueen was dead, I fucked up there, but I didn't refer to MmM as a designer.
I don't know what the fuck you're so mad about. Chill the fuck out.

>>8004207
Her blog post said bunnies were her favorite animal and there's some Japanese folklore about bunnies making mochi on the *moon* so that's where they tied in.
I personally like the shoes, but I don't think they match the theme, though.

I think her dress looks tacky in the photos but the up close photos of it looked nice. I liked the color theme, but it wasn't pulled off well. I agree that it looks like two pieces sewn together, though.

>>8003627
To each their own. My bridesmaids would be wearing whatever I decide to put them in. I wouldn't make them wear something ugly, and I'd pick something that looks good one everyone, but I'd definitely, 100% have it way more toned down than my own dress. Much more simple.

I really liked her wedding, according to the blog post. There were definitely a few things that weren't quite on point, but it was ALMOST there. It'd be a good read for anyone who wants to do a more mature yet still weeby wedding. A spot to base yourself off of.
It did look really expensive though, despite most all of it being DIY. They also spent forever on the details (they did their own invitations, venu prep, not to mention the dress, etc)--I would have just upped and paid the difference to get someone professional to do it. Wouldn't want to waste so many hours of my own time.

But they seem very happy, good for them!

I personally would love to have subtle hints of Pokemon in my wedding. But the key points like dress, etc, would be traditional.

I'd really love to have a Ragnarok Online themed wedding since my boyfriend and I became really close through that game. I have no idea how to subtly incorporate that into a wedding though.

My wedding dress will basically be P. Serenity's dress with 3/4 loose sleeves added. I wouldn't have a full Sailor Moon theme, though.

>>8003597
The flower girl dresses are really cute and very subtly Sailor Moon. I think the cake's pretty cute too, and the venue is gorgeous. Not loving the other outfits too much (fair play to her for making her own dress!) and carrying the sceptre down the aisle is a little much for my taste but it's definitely a cute wedding. I love their photobooth design too.

>>8003663
Question for you as a wedding planner, with OP's picture in mind. How would you do a Sailor Moon themed wedding so it would fit even more mature attendees that aren't into SM (like parents or grandparents)?

>>8004539
There are lots of subtle ways to incorporate it, from giving the bridesmaids matching gowns in the color ways for the scout they're representing, to something simple like a crescent moon tiara on the veil to even incorporating elements of Princess Serenity's white dress into the wedding dress. You could easily do your cake topper as, say, Artemis and Luna--it would look like cute cats to people who weren't familar.
There are sailor moon themed mix drinks you could add to your cocktail list. A tasteful cake would be accented in reds and golds and some blues and stick to a sort of crescent moon theme without going over board.
As for deco, lots of sheers with stars and moons incorporated in. To a grandparent it might look like you went for something of a heaven theme.
This is all just off the top of my head, mind you.

>>8004553
As an after thought you could also do a white and gold cake with the rings on the bodice of Princess serenity's as a border print on each tier

>>8004566
Aaand you could also do your bridesmaids in dresses like these

Ok Im done now haha. Never ask me to put wedding ideas together. I'll go for hours.

>>8003868
>>8004207

Like >>8004517 said, she didn't say she chose them because of the character's name. I'm fine with whatever she wants to wear, but I think she could have incorporated rabbits in a little bit more. I'm just being nitpick-y.

I guess I'm alone on how much I dislike the shoes. I think it's because I really hate fully sequined things like that.

>>8004583
>she didn't say she chose them because of the character's name.

Maybe because she assumes people aren't retarded and can make the connection? I mean, obviously you were too dumb to notice, but most Sailor Moon fans are at least bright enough to connect rabbits to Usagi.

>>8004627

Sorry for not watching Sailor Moon, anon.

>>8003725

Is this the wedding you were talking about?
>http://offbeatbride.com/2009/10/lesbian-gamer-wedding

I'm not gonna lie, something like this totally crossed my mind when my fiancé proposed earlier in the year. Especially considering the fact that I've already made a princess serenity cosplay. My fear was that it would be something that I'd look back on in ten years and just be like "...what the shit was I thinking?" I think a sailor moon wedding would lend itself to really pretty designs if it weren't so literal like OP's example (nor as poorly done). The flower girl dresses are cute as shit but that's about it. You couldn't have paid me to make my own dress, in fear of it turning out something like that.

I am, however, sneaking references to musicals into the ceremony/reception. I'm walking down the aisle to "One hand, one heart" from west side story and throwing some quotes about love in random places through the venue. I'd still hardly count it as a theme though.

Game of thrones weddings have the potential to look really nice without being too campy, but...game of thrones. Weddings. Not a single wedding has turned out particularly happy in the series. Minus maybe dany/drogos and even then there were how many deaths? But nonetheless it seems as though it could translate really well into a fairytale/medieval-esque wedding without being too tacky (I.e. No fairy-bridesmaids)

I know one mainstream theme I am absolutely sick of though: country/shabby chic. If I have to go to one more wedding with burlap and mason jars I am going to lose my damn mind. I don't even try to go on Pinterest anymore.

>>8004681
But let me add one last thing so I don't feel like so much of a cunt. The bride and groom look happy. The bride seems really pleased and proud of herself and her friends for pulling it off. Regardless of how tacky I think the wedding seems, they seem like they really liked it so good for them. If that's the type of thing that you really enjoy and could never ever EVER see yourself growing out of, then go for it.

>>8003597
>phone stuffed in bra

Still looks more fun that the 46583769056879 boring ass "winter wonderland" weddings you see on TV.

>>8003597
One of my cousins wants to do a Homestuck wedding. She's done a lot of planning and is really excited about it, but her parents are acting like it's somehow too immature or whatever, and they're saying they refuse to pay for it if she doesn't do something 'normal'. It's causing a lot of drama just because they're being so stupid about everything.

>>8004768
>classy
One of my best friends always sticks her phone in between her tits and you bet I'm going to get her a damn clutch or wristlet if she's ever going to be my bridesmaid.

>>8004784
Did you post about this before or are there multiple retards out there who actually want to do Homestuck weddings?

>>8004784
I think a good compromise would be to have a mostly traditional wedding, but with touches of fandom in the decorations, cake, invitations, etc.
It looks a little silly when the wedding party is in full or partial cosplay, but you can definitely add more subtle nerdy elements elsewhere without having the whole thing look like a small anime con.

>>8003652
It's really hard to find one that isn't cheap looking, I looked at a couple ones in thrift stores and shit and in the end, I got mine from Alfred Angelo and had it altered.

tl;dr don't cheap out and buy an offbrand bolero, get bridal quality and pay $$ bc it will show

contributing to topic, we definitely played simple and clean after like everyone had gone home at the reception, it was pretty ridiculous

>>8003773
bitch dont diss my irregular choice

Ohhh I've been following this girl on her instagram because I found out Grant Imahara was making her staff. I think the whole wedding is very cute and even if someone doesn't know anime, they would hopefully enjoy how well the wedding was put together. I'm not a fan of her wedding dress at all but other than that I really like the little details in everything. The brooches of her bridesmades light up and her scepter also lights up, there's a lot of pastels and soft colors and everything is insanely detailed without being gaudy.

She wrote up a long post on how the wedding went down along with everything made for the wedding (which was mostly everything minus food and flowers) along with how she made her dress.

>>8003647
There's actually a decent amount out there right now at have sleeves thanks to Kate Middleton. Especially lace sleeves. Especially lace 3/4 sleeves. Also cap sleeves with a keyhole back

Imo sleeves can just tend to really date a dress. But not as much as a bolero

>>8004768

I never get why people do that, it seems so uncomfortable

And I hate how those winter wonderland weddings never actually look like a winter wonderland. It's always 1 snowflake hanging somewhere and that's it.

>>8003627
But why are you mad

>>8003630
How did you get into being a wedding planner? Have you always wanted to be one or did it just kind of ..happen? haha

>>8003647

I forgot where I saw it, but it's because apparently dresses are more difficult with sleeves to alter.

>>8003756
yes

>>8004583
too nit-picky

>>8004784
jesus christ, no

>>8004580
Fuck that, I would love to hear more and would hire you in a heartbeat. You should have a facebook page for this.

>>8003769

IMO the entire wedding looks tacky as fuck. I don't know the bride but she seems like an attention whore who's bent on getting attention for her wedding. I read her wedding write up, and I don't know if it's just me but she often comes off either defensive or "AM I SPECIAL YET?"

I don't know why anons are saying that her dress is nice up close? I think the materials of her dress are kind of cheap looking, and it's clear her sewing skills weren't enough to pull off what she wanted to. The shoes are the biggest joke, next to gray?!??!!? bridesmaids dresses.

>>8004934
I am a creative person by nature. I wanted to do something that would always let me stretch my imagination and that I would feel accomplished over. Wedding planning seemed a natural fit since I love weddings. It can be stressful and you get bridezillas but the end result is always rewarding.

>>8004984
Thank you!! It makes me so happy when people like my ideas. I am willing to give you a throw away email and you can add me on my actual facebook if you'd like

>like an attention whore who's bent on getting attention for her wedding
I know right? I hate stuffy weddings like that 3: That's why I'm renting out a barn for my wedding and only inviting close friends and family :3 I want everybody to feel welcomed! I have a coord planned out to wear and I'm going to do lemonade instead of wine (that stuff is icky lol).

Ok since we're talking about weeb weddings, lets talk about this today.

This showed up on the secrets page and I'm furious.

>>8005071
Troll.
And doesn't the whole ticking clock thing mostly refer to women in their thirties? Afaik most lolitas are mid to late twenties and the ones who are older already have their shit together, whether that means marriage and babbus or not. I can't say I'm ruffled, personally.

>>8004858
Thank you based Duchess

>>8003627
Bridesmaids aren't suppose to have flashy dresses. No one should give them ugly dresses, but multiple flashy dresses makes for shitty photos

>>8005038
Sure! I'd love that!

>>8003597
>Would you add small weeb touches to your wedding?

Planning wedding for April and I am holding off adding anything nerdy. Why? I personally just dont know if I will still like it if in a couple years looking back and see too much power levels. Not every day that you get to have a wedding. (Or at least one would hope.) If other brides tastefully add nerdy elements to their weddings awesome. But myself I really want and elegant/romantic themed wedding.

>>8005011
>I don't know the bride but she seems like an attention whore who's bent on getting attention for her wedding.
How is this bad? It's her wedding, the whole point of having a big wedding and wearing a big fancy dress is getting attention and feeling special all day.

Nirgi 2.0 that had that article about her written just recently got married and had a pirate themed wedding.

>>8004660
It's literally in the title to the article, though.

Stop. Get out.

>>8003597
I do admit that I did think of having a subtle weeby wedding someday, but that idea went out the window when a girl in our comm decided to have a "fantasy-themed" wedding this year in may where everyone can dress up in anything to attend. From the looks of it, they've sent an invitation to basically anyone who commented on her status (a majority of it being cosplayers so they'll more than likely cosplay to the wedding), and making it; I shit you not, a giant potluck to "save as much money as possible."

I'm just going to sit here and watch it be an absolute trainwreck where a whole bunch of cosplayers bring in nothing but shitty potato salads and devilled eggs.

>>8005316

>>8005038
Would love to have you plan a wedding for me.

>>8005509
It's so depressing that 99% of "fantasy-themed" weddings are done by fat poorfags with no sense of taste.

None of my weeby interests are remotely elegant and are frankly pretty dang childish, so I don't think I could incorporate them into a wedding without cringing about it later. Plus my boyfriend's family can be kind of obnoxious about "quirky" things so I worry that they'd take it too far.
At this point I don't know if I even want a wedding. It sounds like way too much effort for something I probably wouldn't enjoy anyway (I've always hated parties and being the centre of attention) but my boyfriend actually really seems to want one. He keeps asking me when I'm going to get started on designing the dress...

>>8004660
> Sorry for not watching Sailor Moon, anon.

If you don't know batshit about sailor moon, don't criticize wheter or not something fits the theme.

>>8004681
> My fear was that it would be something that I'd look back on in ten years and just be like "...what the shit was I thinking?"

Many normalfag brides do that without a sailor moon wedding.

>>8006087
Check above a bit. I posted a throw away email. You're welcome to add my on my actual facebook. Just shoot me an email and I'll send you a friend request!

My bf and I have talked about customizing Nendoroid Petits of us for cake toppers. I think that's a cute, low-key weeb touch.

Decided on a wedding theme a while back, Bioshock 1-2.
Art deco theme with dark blue/black, 50s clothing and masks.

>>8005049
Are you literally 15? Please get out.

Right now I want a sakizou themed wedding... I would commission her to design all the dresses especially for my wedding! /never gonna happen/

>>8006228
If you had the funds it probably wouldn't be impossible to commission a wedding dress from Sakizou. Offer enough money and I'm sure she wouldn't say no.

Anyone got some good Taobao shops to look at for sparkly magical-girl-esque stuff? Like >>8003716 kind of? My friend is getting married and is kind of ridiculous and wants that kind of thing. I'm just trying to save her from buying the terrible Ebay gown she was looking at, and trying to find a place that does custom sizing too maybe?

>>8005037
In what direction? Just applied as an intern, school, through someone else.?

>>8005049
Please get a job

>>8006519
This is her job.

Going back on topic, there are a lot of lolitas in my comm that want to wear lolita for their wedding. I can't blame them. It's your personality, but please don't get Milanno or Bodyline for your wedding.

>>8006515
I'm going through Penn Foster. They work directly with the American Bridal Consultation, and I'm taking event planning courses on the side.

Ascosing is going to release the love live bride cosplays soon.

>>8006687
Can you give me a pic of what they're supposed to look like though? I'm not familiar at all with Love Live and nothing Google is giving me actually looks like magical girl brides.

>pic related

how many frozen weddings have there been

>>8003597
What's weird about this to me is that much of what she did with the decorating and venue theming and the flower girls are pretty nice, but then the bridesmaids, her dress, hair, and staffs are tacky as fuck. (Which is kind of depressing, because you can do a sophisticated Princess Serenity inspired wedding gown so easily. Naoko Takeuchi stole ruthlessly from actual high fashion.) With different outfits, hair, and either bouquets or classier bouquet substitutes, this would have been a weeb wedding done right.

I did not incorporate any weeb or pop culture stuff into my wedding because I knew in a few years I wouldn't care about whatever it was. It would just feel like it was awkward and dated in a way that isn't endearing. If there were something pop culture that had significance in my relationship, like we met on a Sailormoon fan site and bonded early on over it or whatever, I'd have done a cake topper or other small touch.

>>8006554
To be a 15 year old moron? okay

>>8006610

oh, so you're not a real one

>>8006827

I got the a seperate link from tumblr, from the Bride's perspective instead:
http://www.defectivegeeks.com/2014/12/18/sailormoonwedding/

And in it she says that the dress she made was inspired by a Dior Venus dress, except she made some changes. The bridesmaid dressses were apparently selected to keep it classy and to flatter all the girls' figures, but then they handmade the cape and added those light-up brooches, which kinda took it backwards.

I guess you could either take it as the cosplayers didn't quite hit the mark on making good cosplays, or this is the reason why cosplayers should stick to cosplaying instead of character/dress design.

I gotta say, though, it looked like a lot of fun -- the bride was smiling in almost all of the photos, the bridesmaids looked pretty happy, and the photos from the photobooth showed the guests having lots of fun. A lot of her friends seemed to have stepped up to help out, too, so I'm guessing in ten years' time when she looks back, she'll probably see a lot of happy faces and a lot of support from friends, instead of "dated" and "awkward".

>Why are so many wedding dresses sleeveless?


>>8004937 is right


Sleeves make dresses harder to alter and so they make them without so they don't have to deal with it.
I'm with you though, I like sleeves on dresses. Having most of them without is just so same same same.

>>8003709
>Or maybe I'll rollerblade in on my rad skates and revel in the pretty flowers raining from the sky until I catch sight of my crush standing at the end of the aisle and-


You are adorable. Do not stop being adorable.

>>8007947
Plus it's super unflattering on us quarterback-chans, especially if they're strapless too.
I'm trying to work out a design for a wedding dress and I think I'm going to go with longish chiffon flutter sleeves.

>>8004784
My knee jerk reaction even as a Homestuck is oh, fuck no. But even then there are ways to do it subtly enough no one could figure it out. Hear me out.

There are some really stunning piano mixes of the main themes in Homestuck- I used to work in a small boutique, and I had all of the piano album and some of the prettier, classic pieces playing in the background and people always asked where the music came from. The zodiac, if taken from the actual constellations, would be pretty easy to incorporate too, as table pieces (sort of like OP wedding did with the planets), and simple star patterns. Even the cake, it'd be kind of neat to do a sort of pale, faded out chessboard and sky pattern on different tiers, or the kids' different planetary themes. Light and Rain lends itself to be pretty.

It'd require a very restrained hand, and very careful color palette, but it could be done. 9 times out of 10 though it'd be a major clusterfuck of grey paint smeared on bridal dresses and veils glued to horns and bad, drawn on freckles.

>>8006232
I know wedding are already expensive as fuck, but I feel like commissioning a design from Sakizou, and then finding someone talented enough to actually make the dress, and not have it come out as a droopy, sad mess would be insanely expensive.

>>8006089
This is why I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see Lilly Xandra's wedding. She will do fantasy the right way.

>>8007183
I'm a little confused as to what constitutes "real". I am not 100% certified yet and it is not my full time job, but I've got experience under my belt. It's a slow process to start your own business.

>>8008243
Nah anon, working through a company like that isn't the same at all.

>>8008023
>commissioning a design from Sakizou
She doesn't do commissions and definitely won't for some white bitch.

>>8008245
I'm not working for Penn Foster. I took courses through them to get my feet wet and get a taste for the industry. They're relatively cheap and the course work wasn't a waste of time. Everyone starts somewhere.

That's spectacular

I'd worry about sweating in the burando tbh

Cutest flower girls ever?

>>8008344
A professional seamstress thats held in such high regard should be ashamed to make dresses with such horribly done hems. Yuck.

>>8008464
>firefly path
>expecting quality

there's the problem right there

Firefly Path is well known for costumes that look vaguely pretty in thumbnails and pictures. They aren't really well made.

>>8005181
now which one of the two is nigri?

>>8008544
Are there any pictures of her wedding dress?

I'm going full weeb for my wedding. I'm intentionally showing up late and running up the aisle with a piece of toast in my teeth while flower girls throw sakura petals through the air.

>>8008631
Please do.

>>8008344
I gasped irl those are the worst

i guess to contribute, here were the ones I picked, spring wedding, red and white colors.

>>8008631
yes this is good

As someone that did a weeby wedding, it is pretty embarrassing to look back on.

>>8003780
Every single shoe is downright hideous. I want some of them.

>>8006809
Hmm, the pinky dress the girl with pigtails is wearing might work. Friend will probably still throw glitter at it though. Thank you!

>>8008344
>those dry looking hands
Girl, stop sewing for a minute and take some time to slap on some moisturizer.

>>8003627
I noticed this too. Attractive bride's will usually try to make their bridesmaids look their best. It echos their confidence and makes it a better party. Ugly bride's will choose the worst dresses so they can have a shot to look like the princess for once in their life, which they're entitled to. It just says a lot about their insecurities when everyone else is wearing extra layers to look more fat so the bride feels better about herself.

My cake topper was a love ball from pokemon, haha. The cake is so small because we had mini desserts for the guests. The cake was just there so we had something to cut

this entire thread is so pathetic. let her be a weeaboo with her own fucking wedding and suck up your jealous single tears that no one will ever love you enough to give you a geeky wedding.

>>8009618
>jealous
Top kek you must be her!

My sister had a Disney themed wedding this summer, her husband proposed to her at Disneyland in Cinderella's pumpkin carriage.

There were definite Disney elements but it did not dominate the wedding itself. Before the ceremony started there were a harpist and a flutist playing Disney songs as background music. The music during the the Father/Bride dance was You'll Be In My Heart by Phil Collins, the song from Tarzan. The wedding cake had a topper of Mickey and Miney Mouse in a teacup.

That was about it, she wore a conventional dress, the ceremony had a Hawaiian priest who was a friend of the groom's family, and the wedding invitations featured both family mons rather than anything Disney themed.

>>8009618
Notice how a fair number of people are actually talking about their own weddings ITT.
>h8ers jus jellus
>I can't possibly be anything other than perfect

I don't even hate this wedding, I just think it's really tacky.

>>8004521
Random headgear for everyone!

>>8003843
I agree, I love Irregular Choice.

I don't enjoy this thing where they have faces as the heels, but I do love most of their shoes. They really try to experiment with their style, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

My first pair were the miaow boots in brown, I love them.

they're also really, really comfortable which is not something you can say for a lot of shoe brands.

I went to a friend's wedding, and everything was traditional besides 2-3 songs from video games they played. It fit well with their theme.

I thought about what I might want for my own wedding, but then I realized my friend paid 10,000 dollars for her wedding. Although it was beautiful, forget that. I rather go to city hall and use that money for traveling or brand.

>>8010128
This is what we did for our wedding; everything was pretty normal and traditional, except that our "walk down the aisle" song was the orchestral Fairy Fountain song from Legend of Zelda and our first dance was the version of Fly Me To The Moon from Bayonetta.

My fiancé and i are doing a book themed wedding. Each table will have a few flowers made out of pages from different books we love and bonded over. That's as far as we've gotten in planning though.

>>8010285
If you like books why are you destroying them for your wedding?

>>8008344
I don't know how I manage but I somehow always forget how fucking bad Joellen is at sewing now that her assistants sew all her shit for her. This is atrocious

>>8008544

They do look great in pictures but I would like to see them up close.

Pic related is her real wedding dress (she made it). Call it tacky but shit she looks beautiful. Found the pic on Fancy Fairy Wings instagram who made the wings.

>>8010289
You remind me of a couple I helped at my store, they wanted to make book decorations for their wedding but don't want to wreck real books. So they bought some creamy paper to reprint some words/quotes, and used that instead to cut out from and junk.

>>8010289
There are a lot of used books that wind up thrown out or otherwise disposed of. A few librarians and book store clerks have talked about it. Using them for something like wedding decorations is honestly a really nice idea...especially since I assume theyre not referring to like first edition of some classical novel or something.

>>8010065
I have the Miaow boots in red and the matching clutch. I adore them. I can't decide whether the Miaow Boots in white are tacky or glamorous.

I love an excuse to incorporate my shoe collection into cosplay, it doesn't happen very often.

Anyone ever had a 4chan wedding?

>>8010307
This anon has it right. We'll go with some like >>8010304 mentioned, and others will be recycled from books that are already damaged, thrown away, etc.

>>8010808

It would truly be the blunder of the century. I'm imagining all the guests dressed in cargo shorts and oversized dress shirts sporting fedoras and guy fawkes masks with the bride and groom clad in matching green and yotsuba A peach zentai suits. Moot presides over the couple and reads to the assembled group of shitposters and trolls entirely in greentext:

>dearly beloved
>implying we aren't gathered here today to join these two faggots in unholy matrimony

Guests of honour include Gaben, Ainsley Harriot, Zun, and Jason Alexander. The wedding reception is held at a hotel with a pool, which will be closed to the public for the duration of the party with a sign on the door reading "Pools closed due to Fail and Aids". Once the party is over and the new husband and wife depart, they are pelted with spaghetti by the guests and the man is exhorted to "stick it in her pooper, pics or it didn't happen". Gaben then eats the spaghetti straight off the ground and accidentally kills Jason Alexander when he trips and falls on his way to the bathroom. The after-party is crushed by angry /pol/tards who stab Moot to death while chanting "ZIONIST CUCK, DON'T CALL IT A GRAVE, ITS THE FUTURE YOU CHOOSE". The next morning news gets out the groom abandoned his bride in their wedding bed when he discovered she didn't have a dick, and eloped with /lgbt/ to live off in the wilderness.

>Call it tacky but shit she looks beautiful.
I dont think her dress is tacky. In fact when I went shopping recently I saw lots of dresses that were a similar style. The wings are a bit much but its her wedding and this was for the photoshoot so who knows if she wore them in the ceremony. Not sure about the pink hair but it all looks good together?

>>8009384
This is cute anon!

>>8008631
then the groom trips and accidentally grabs your boobs

>>8003671
I think she's wearing Rosa Mistica

Would recommend that you let random guests come in regular formal wear. My friend recently tried to have a 1920s themed wedding and most ppl showed up as flappers or gangsters. It was kinda awful and most ppl looked like they bought their outfits at party city. For a 1950s theme I would imagine ppl would just show up in poodle skirts because its a)Hard to find classy 1950s clothing and 2)Most normalfags auto think of the stereotypical image of whatever theme you pick and run with it. Hell... Elvis might show up. Finally, if you wanna do your wedding party all 1950s go for it and have masks for photos! But dont force your guests to wear them. It will just be uncomfortable.

>>8011086
Fund it.

>>8012141
Thanks for the tips! I'll really need to stress the formal. Definitely don't want people wearing poodle skirts... That being said we don't really have any costume stores in my country and 50s dresses are popular here so the couple of times I been to a 50s wedding they were pretty spot on.
The mask idea I had was something similar to what you mentioned. Having a photo booth with various Bioshock masks and for the wedding photos.

There's a couple of great venues I've found so far. One a bit out of our reach: a huge art deco ballroom and the other a bit small, a cafe in a arboretum that has an indoor koi pond and would look amazing with a lot of lanterns.
Most of all I'd just like a nice art deco cake and the dim atmosphere of bioshock.

>>8012283
Maybe you could stress that it's still a formal event, and so guests should think about what people in that time period would wear to a wedding and mention that modern formal wear is still fine.

>>8011670

Its your wedding anon, invite as many neckbeards and holograms you want.
