Tinkersofi's Planning Thread - Azul Fives August 13, 2015

Yay for the Pink!!! Oh and I love the blue. They're super cute!!! I found one pair I really like but they don't have my size so I've put it on a flag if they do come along.

 

I had cups sewn into my dress because I didn't want to wear a full bra when we got married and it worked out perfectly. They didn't look fake at all thank fully. The seamstress stitched them right into the dress. I definitely don't need cleavage unfortunately (less is definitely more!! lol) so I wasn't too worried about that, but Victoria Secret has some really nice strapless bras with push up, and with the new lighter fabrics they have, you could take a look and see how hot they might be, but I don't think they would be.

yeah I think the inserts work great when you have a nice cleavage already but they just looked very strange on me, at least I felt weird and they weren't comfortable. It was almost like I had two pillows on there haha. Small chested problems I guess  

 

I'll check out the different options. The biggest thing is that it has to be something backless or close to it because the dress goes down at the back and I don't want to worry about the strap showing. 

 

@@Wafflesmom oh god, I've had my pasties for like a year now haha, those things don't quit. Only now I started noticing that the very edges don't stick on as much as they used to but they still work fine. I really don't know what happened that one night but we sure had a good laugh with my girlfriends about it haha. It's good to know that the glue is just as strong on the bras as it is on the pasties. I don't know why I felt like it wouldn't be because they were bigger and heavier.

@@TinkerSofi those chicken cutlets lasted a long time and were comfy. They never ended up on my belly and I think that would've been so funny if it did happen. I do believe you have to have dry skin with no lotions to make sure they stay. And I agree that it also freaks me out when I forget I have the nipple pasties on. The silicone ones totally blend in with my skin and it looks like I have no nipples at all

 

So believe it or not, I last bought the silicone adhesive bras at one of those kiosks in the middle of the mall. You know, the ones that sell curlers, cell phone covers, etc. you can check those out but not certain if they still sell them. In case they don't, I fund some research and the U.S. website for David's Bridal says they sell them for $31. http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Silicone-Adhesive-Bra-SIM

 

Those are so cool!! So how do they stay in place? I see the clip in the front but what about straps, or a back? The price is pretty good too! How long do they last?

if they're anything like the pasties I have they have glue on the inside so they just stick on. It does feel like they'll fall off but they don't! It's crazy and if you take care of them they last forever! At least mine came with a little plastic sheet so I could stick them back on there when they're not being used, and just making sure you don't use lotion before you put them on. I've had them since 2 summers ago and they're still going strong. Since I pretty much have no natural cleavage I wear them quite a bit when I go out with shirts that are backless or have a plunge neckline. 

 

I got the pasties from La Senza but I haven't tried their silicone bra so I can't speak about the strength of the glue. It's also totally painless when you take them off. It's like magic!

pink shoes!! I love them! I think the champagne makes your dress look a little washed out. I LOVE the pink.

OK worth looking into I think.

@@TinkerSofi and @@acw271011 the sticky backing in those silicone bras are really good! At the end of the night, they were still on my chest. Yet, they were so easy to peel off! Like the pasties, just make sure you put the plastic sheet back so lint doesn't get on them and the adhesive doesn't dry (I guess). The further you place the chicken cutlets away from each other, the more of a cleavage you get when you clasp the middle. I'm not well endowed up there so I've taken advantage of this feature lol

I'll stop by David's bridal this weekend and pick up one so I have it for the alterations appointment

thank you! Pink it is!! I'm so excited to wear them!!  

[Smellsey]

I saw them online and thought "ohh those are her shoes!!!" like I know you personally lol! I really like them! I am having a hard time finding one's that I like. I am pretty picky about the shoes I want to wear.. not too high... open or peep toe.. lol!

[veryvalentine]

I love the pink shoes!  So pretty!  and great job with  your welcome brochure! 

[TinkerSofi]

@ @@veryvalentine thanks guys! I still love the champagne anyway so I'm keeping both, using some of my tax money haha. I know it's a total overkill, but they're seriously gorgeous and I can't let go haha. I'll probably wear one for the Mexico wedding and the other pair for the Argentina reception . Or I'll wear the champagne ones with the legal ceremony dress. I'll definitely put them to good use! 

 

@@Smellsey I'm honestly so picky too! I can't handle very high heels for very long so they have to be the right height. I also find peep toes very painful and they end up cutting the circulation off my big toe, ouch. Too bad, because I think they look amazing! I'm sure you'll find the shoes. Go into the Nina shoes website, they have so many gorgeous shoes!! I was just checking it out yesterday and I decided that it was good that I didn't find the website before getting my shoes because I wouldn't have known which ones to picked! 

 

The drama lowdown: 

 

Ok so I am sorry to post this here and burden you with my drama but I am so fed up. We've had a pretty drama-free planning process and I'm glad for that but I am fed up and done with Juan's friends. I believe I told you guys that only one of his friends is now interested in coming. We had given him a plus one but about two months ago he said his girlfriend couldn't come so that meant he had no one to stay with because the rest of Juan's friends all backed out for one reason or another. For a month Juan and I have been trying our very best to get him a roommate. The rates are way too high for single occupancy and we didn't blame this guy for being unable to pay that much! We went back and forth with some people who were undecided, some who wanted to stay only a few days rather than the whole week, nothing worked out.

 

My brother this week said that his girlfriend is interested in coming. She just finished school and didn't want to book anything before because she wasn't sure she'd be able to get the time off her new job. Now she can get the time off so we orchestrated everything last night to leave my brother and his girlfriend in one room and Juan's friend and another guy who's coming alone in another room. Basically this was a huge inconvenience for us, but hey, if Juan's friend wanted to come we gladly did it. Well, today Juan talks with him and now he says that his GF might be coming!! WTF?!! I am beyond pissed off right now. I seriously do not understand how people are so inconsiderate. We did this favour for him, he knew we were trying to get him someone to room up with and now he comes with this BS?? We tried to convince him for about a month for his GF to come but he said 100% she's not coming and now he changes plans last minute. Juan told him that she can't come now because we planned everything on her saying no. Apparently they'll let us know tonight. I'm really hoping she says no because otherwise they are making Juan and I look awful with other people that we had to ask if they'd be willing to switch rooms, etc. Just embarrassing. Juan said he was pretty direct with him and told him that the plans are done and she plain out can't come, she had said no so we moved on and made other plans.

 

Honestly we should have told this guy that if he couldn't get someone to book with him he was on his own and too bad. As always, you give people a hand and they walk all over you. I really need to learn how to be a b** sometimes. 

 

Ok rant over, although I'm not any less angry.
