The palette session had been on the blue list for three weeks.
Saki moved it to the red list on Tuesday morning, on the grounds that venue was confirmed, date was confirmed, and the dress decision had a longer lead time than most people remembered to account for until it was too late to account for it. She added a note beside it: requires all eight, minimum three hours, suggest external consultation.
"External consultation," Haruka said, reading the noticeboard.
"Someone who knows fabric and construction and lead times and won't tell us everything looks good because they want to be agreeable," Saki said. "A professional opinion is different from a friendly one."
"Where do we find this person?" Nana said.
"I've already contacted three," Saki said. "One wasn't available in our window. One specialized in conventional bridal which felt like the wrong fit. The third is coming Saturday."
A pause.
"You contacted bridal consultants," Yoru said.
