Does anyone else wish they had done anything different?
Original post by nferrandi
I don't know if it's just me or what, but I keep thinking about my wedding and wishing I had done a few things differently. Now don't get me wrong, my wedding day was next to perfect as a whole, but there are a couple of things eating at my mind. There are actually three things that stick out, unfortunately two out of the three are about me personally. First, I feel like I didn't have enough makeup. I had two 'professional' trials and wasn't impressed with either, so I just asked my friend, who's the cosmetic manager at Bergdorf to do my makeup. We did a bunch of trials and tried different looks. In the end I decided I wanted something very natural because I felt too made up. Now looking at my pictures I feel like my face looked dull, definitely not enough 'umph.' The second thing is my hair. My trial was awesome and my hair did look great, but the day of it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I wanted more height to my hair so it was noticealy higher than my tiara. It also looked less soft than I had wanted. Another thing was since we had taken pictures outside before the ceremony, my hair was kind of slipping out of the french twist by the time I walked into the reception. Thank goodness I wore my veil all night so it wasn't that noticeable, but I see it in the pictures. The last thing is my flowers. Laurie gave me exactly what I asked for, but I wish I had given more money to my flowers because I felt like the CP got kind of lost in the big ballroom. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this.

OH BOY! Do I have regrets! I literally cried the first few nights after my wedding just thinking about these things!
- I hated my hair. I went for 3 trials and didn't really like any of them.
- I wish I had gotten a longer veil, I hate the way this one fell.
- Michael & I should have tried to get some out side pictures together. A majority of our pics are squished in front of the fireplace in the lobby of La grange. UGH!!!!!!
- I should have kept my lipstick at my table not in the bridal suite....I never seemed to have lipstick on.
Yuck, just typing these things brings tears to my eyes! I spent so much time trying to put together the details (placecards, menus, programs, songs etc.) I didn't pay enough attention to me...and it shows
