Hi I am pregnant and haven’t gone to any bridal shops yet just because I feel like most of them are going to be way out of my budget, and would be hard to find maternity dresses, I’m looking for a dress less than $800. I’ve found some I really like online from JJ’s house. I know it’s cheaper quality and from China but it is such a good price and they have nice maternity options. I was wondering if anyone was pregnant and was able to find a relatively cheap maternity wedding dress around nyc or nearby within driving distance -30 minutes out of the city. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for Indian wedding decorators based in New York City (or NJ/tri-state area) for a wedding in the third week of September 2026.

We currently don’t have a budget. Ideally looking for someone who is experienced with Indian weddings (mandap setup, mehndi/sangeet decor, reception stage, floral + draping, etc.).

Would love suggestions, personal experiences, or even decorators to avoid. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I’m planning to travel to NYC next month and want to propose to my girlfriend there. I came across Robin Kang Photography on Instagram and checked out his portfolio website, and it looks really good to me.

Has anyone here worked with Robin Kang Photography before? Would love to hear any honest feedback or experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I’m a photographer visiting from California and I’m looking to connect with a couple for a cinematic/editorial-style elopement shoot at NYC City Hall for my portfolio while I'm in town (specifically looking at the window of May 10th to May 19th - preferrably 10th to 12th).

The Vibe: I specialize in candid storytelling and "vintage movie" aesthetics (lots of grain, intentional movement, and natural light). You can check out my work here: instagram.com/eunju.photo & eunjuphoto.com

Who I’m looking for: A real couple (or a model couple) who is either actually getting married at City Hall during those dates or is down to get dressed up for a styled editorial session in the area.

What you get: High-res edited digital files from the session for your personal use.

If you’re interested, please drop a comment or DM me with a photo of you two and your availability during those dates!

Hi all- friend is getting married at town hall next week and needs someone to style hair in the morning (either at her place or at a salon). Hope East Side. It’s a bit last minute and her budget is $200… someone recommended GlamSquad, wanted to hear if anyone else has recs? Thank you!!!

Hi!

I’m planning to propose to my boyfriend during our first trip to NYC and could really use some help with both finding a photographer and coming up with the best way to do it.

📅 Trip dates: June 26 (late arrival) – July 1 (morning departure)

Here’s what I have planned so far:

•	We’re going to the concert under the K Bridge on June 27 (also his birthday)

→ I’m not proposing that day

•	Pride festival/parade is June 28, which I’m considering

•	Also open to June 29 or June 30

I’m not set on a specific plan yet—I’m honestly looking for ideas that would make this moment special but still realistic on a budget.

Things I’m thinking about:

•	I at least want a photographer to capture the proposal (short session + a few photos after)

•	I want to dress nice for the proposal, but I’m conflicted since Pride outfits will probably be more colorful/fun—so I’m open to ideas on how to balance that

•	I’ve thought about doing something like a small flash mob if it’s during Pride and I can pull it off casually, but that’s still up in the air

I’d really appreciate:

•	Photographer recommendations (affordable or newer photographers welcome)

•	Proposal location ideas (West Village, quieter scenic spots, etc.)

•	Advice on timing (during Pride vs a separate day)

•	Any creative ideas that would make this memorable without being overly complicated

If you’re a photographer or have suggestions, feel free to comment or DM me!

Thank you so much 💍

Hi! Did anyone work with a customer stationery company that provided high quality work at a fair/affordable price? I want my save the dates, invitation suites, and menus to feel elevated and I'm okay with paying up for custom, but just don't know where to start.

I don't mind if they are located elsewhere as I know it can be handled virtually, but would love reccs if anyone has worked with a company they loved & felt like the cost was reasonable. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Would really appreciate any suggestions, personal experiences, or even planners to avoid. Thanks in advance!

If you are a planner reading this, then, please comment or message me directly!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for Indian wedding photographers based in New York City for a wedding in the third week of September 2026.

Budget is around $4,000, so ideally looking for someone experienced with Indian weddings (multiple events like mehndi, sangeet, ceremony, reception) and who can capture both candid and traditional moments well.

Also looking for someone who can include (or offer) a pre-wedding/engagement shoot around NYC (Central Park, skyline spots, etc.) as part of the package or as an add-on that can happen sometime in May/June/July/August.

Would love suggestions, personal experiences, or even photographers to avoid. Thanks in advance!
