is there anything you spent a lot of money on that you now regret? do you think to yourself, ' ahh i could have done without that...?'

Re: any wedding related regrets?
Not really, I really kept to a strict budget b/c I really didnt feel much of it was necessary. The only thing I refused to just compromise on was photo/video. And I am totally happy

We could have done without the stretch escalade that took us all to a park 2 minutes away from the RH for pics - when we could have taken all our pics at the RH, the few pictures we took outside there were actually nicer then the park.
But, instead of saving that $$ I would have put it toward a 2nd shuttle van, 1 was definitely not enough, even with multiple trips! It was really tight

I kind of regret of photo/video choice. It was a place that I refused to compromise. And while we're happy with them, I see other peoples pictures and videos and get SO JEALOUS. I only looked at a few and I wish I had done more research.

I wish I investigated a videographer more. I tried to keep the price low. My video guy was separate from our photographer. His light was soo bright and he was very annoying. Hopefully the video comes out good. Also, my flowers were horrible, but that wasn't my fault.

Tons. I wish I would have looked at more florists, DJs, and RHs. Dont get me wrong, I loved CLM, but we mainly went with it because of price. Little did I know that there were about 5 or 6 other halls on LI that I could have paid the same price for.
And....I would have paid MORE for the flowers (again, went with this company for the price....but looking back I would have spent a bit more to go with the better companies).
And this is a non-vendor related regret....but I wish I had had my ceremony earlier in the day. If I had it at 2:00 instead of 3:00, I would have had much more time to take pictures. I tried to squeeze too much into a small timeframe so that my guests didnt have to find something to do in between the ceremony and reception. That was so stupid. DH and I only had 15 minutes to take pics! Because of that, we have like 5 shots of us together and thats it

Re: any wedding related regrets?
I have no regrets as far as the money I spent - I kept my budget low. In some cases, I probably coulda spent more and got something a little better or shall I say more professional (ahem, DJ!). And maybe I would have spent a bit more on flowers - I don't think mine were anything special, but then again, flowers were never a big deal to me.
One of my regrets has been nagging at me lately- that I didn't bug my sisters to tie my corset tighter. So I don't feel like my dress ever fit me the way it should have, and I think it shows in the pictures. There's this one fold that shows right in the bodice and it drives me NUTS everytime I see it! I also wish I would have gone with a hairstyle that would hold up- but then again, sounds like it happens to lots of girls so I shouldn't feel that bad!

Re: any wedding related regrets?
probably flowers.. granted i didnt care much for them in the beginning and budgeted low for them but i couldnt justifiy spending tons of $$ on them and we wanted to spend it elsewhere.. maybe i shouldnt have been such a laid back bride with that because in the end i didnt get what i wanted and i should have quadruple checked with them on that...

I would say my Photographer! They didn't turn out as i as hoped the would.
and was quoted that he would take over 500 photos....not even close to that....only 321 pictures.

Re: any wedding related regrets?
My regret is not hiring a Wedding planner from the begining. My wedding BAND I bought a cheap cheap wedding band because we spent so much money for the wedding thinking that I would buy the one I really wanted which was so expensive, well I wore my ring for 3 days and a stone fell off, so I brought it back and they fixed it. I picked it up yesterday and guess what not even 3 hours later and another stone fell off Long story short I am buying a new ring and we are going to go back to the priest to have him bless it. I should have went to the jeweler that made my costume E-ring but didnt want to spend so much.

No regrets on anything I chose (vendors, attire, etc.)
I also thought it would regret getting an expensive thomas knoell headpiece, but I definitely do not! It was 100% worth every penny and I still take it out and look at it over a year later. I also hope to display it one day and have it as an heirloom.

Probably the disposable cameras for the tables. Wasn't a huge expense but still was a waste of money. Pics from them kinda stunk.
