Re: Wedding Regrets

I wish I had a second photographer. I feel like some of my special touches were not shown in my pictures. I also wish I had a nice picture with my grandmother - somehow I dont have one.

I wish I had picked my bp better. Too much drama for me.

I wish we had more time to take pictures before cocktail hour - we missed the whole thing.

I wish I had joined LIW sooner. <3

I definatly agree with picking the BP better... I definatly picked too early...

Re: Wedding Regrets

I wish I took the time to try on more dresses. I rushed that process like an idiot

I also regret hiring an out of town photographer.

ITA. I wish I didn't have a BP. It really should've just been my sister as my MOH and that's it. I didn't even pick her as my MOH because she was 17 at the time and I didn't want to burden her with the responsibilities.

I agree with you ladies -- one thing I definately do not regret is having a small BP. All we had was my sister as my MOH and his brother as his best man. It was perfect, wouldn't have had it any other way.

We did this too, and I agree. It was the best decision we made!

Re: Wedding Regrets

I wish I wasnt so flustered and kept my 'must take pictures' in mind..I barely got any from my list

I wish I ate..me eating soup at the hotel after the wedding, i was starving!

I wish i didnt spend most of my time greeting the guests, i think i got to dance to 5 songs =[

Re: Wedding Regrets

the more i think about it, the more i wish that we spent less on the limos. 1 being the issue we had w/ them plus 2, we barely took any pics w/ the limos or inside. we were probably just fine hopping in w/ the escalade (but i'm glad we didn't b/c that was a mess!)

Re: Wedding Regrets

I wish i got in the photo booth with more people from my family like my daddy, my cousins, some visiting relatives from korea. I got some good ones of my friends and i, made sure to get a couple with DH, and i got some funny ones with my mom but I really wish i had pulled some other people with me.

I wish i had done one more hair/makeup trial. I booked the third one because i was mostly satisfied and i had paid so much already for trials. But my curls fell out and my eye makeup did not survive my day of crying I also wish i went a littl emore dramatic. DH requested that i look natural but i wish i looked a bit more DIFFERENT from what i would normally wear.

Re: Wedding Regrets

I don't have a lot of regrets honestly because I try not to think that way.

I wish I had made a must take photo list. It seemed too overwhelming toward the end. We were also SO pressed for time with photos I wish we had gotten more. I wish I had gotten certain photos.

I don't know what I could have done about this (maybe had them bring down food.to the outdoor area since DH insisted on eating in the bridal suite). Our ceremony started late and the receiving line took 45 minutes, so we left the church when we thought we'd be getting to the hall. I felt really pressed for pictures and I had to tell the Maitre'D to hold back dinner so I could get pics with my family outside. I had to prioritize. We had no gap between ceremony and CH, which I thought would be great for guests, but we totally missed out on our CH and our pics were rushed..and my MIL took over the photographer for awhile, which really annoys me..

I wish I could have forced my mom to do something about her dress earlier. I wish I would have paid more attention that day, but it was a whole fiasco and mostly out of my control.

I want to say i wish we had eaten more. I barely took 2 bites, but that would have meant less time dancing/socializing. Overall, I just wish we'd had more time.

I had time constraints so I couldn't have done it another way, but I would have preferred another hour between ceremony and CH so we could have relaxed more and not felt rushed and gotten to go and socialize and eat at the CH

Re: Wedding Regrets

My BP was fairly small as well. JUst four Bridesmaids and one flower girl. It was hectic enough with just that number of pepole to keep track of.

Re: Wedding Regrets

I wish I would have told my DOC to stay with us during family pictures because I lost my cool too many times

I wish I would have had a better check list for family pictures because I am missing a few important pictures [his parent us and my parents are one of the many]

I really think that is all

OH I WISH MY GUESTS WOULD HAVE STAYED TIL THE END OF THE NIGHT ....... WE CUT CAKE AT 10:30 OR SO PARTY ENDED AT MIDNIGHT ..... MOST GUESTS WERE GONE BY 11:30PM ..... THAT WAS ANNOYING

Re: Wedding Regrets

My biggest regret is forgetting the sand ceremony at home. I would have made a list like everyone told me to and made sure I didn't forget things. I actually forgot my bok charms and cake topper too but those were brought by dh to the rescue! !!

I didn't get a picture of me in my wedding dress and converse. And there is no good pic of the entire wedding party.

Don't tell dh but I kinda wish we got married in Alaska. There were so many people I wanted there who couldn't make the flight. My mom struggled through the week here and is still recovering from overexerting herself. She barely remembers the trip she was so sick.

Re: Wedding Regrets

1. Listening to everyone and letting them get the best of me and DH when planning.

2. Fighting with DH instead of us just talking it out.

3. Involving my MIL into any plans, since she just forgot all of them.

4. Not finding this website sooner and actually using it to my full advantage.

5. Not researching more venues, including Queens and the city.

6. Letting the photographer I used pressure me into signing a contract when I didn't look at any other photographer because they said I was running out of time (it was a year before the wedding). Little did I know, I had PLENTY of time and would have loved to shop around more, Maybe would have actually gotten pictures I like.

7. Not waiting to dress shop...I love my dress but I didn't get to have that experience of really trying on a lot of dresses.

8. Not speaking up when I needed to. The seamstress told me the dress was fine but it was still too long, the bustle wasn't what I wanted, and I couldn't breathe because it was too tight.

9. Not kicking out a bridal party member when I should have. Now I have to look at her face every time I look at bridal party pictures.

10. Going to the cocktail hour...it was WAY too much and we didn't even get to eat because everyone was pulling us everywhere!

I was going to leave it at 10 but I have 1 more...

BONUS (11). I wish I would have planned to take pictures somewhere else before going to JT. JT is beautiful but I would have liked more outside pictures.

AND this is why I'm so upset that people won't give us a break with this 'wedding' in December. I just want to have a fun time (not an all out wedding at a catering hall but something really small and just friends) and any time I even MENTION 'I want a long white dress' or 'should I buy a bo-k' someone looks at me and rolls their eyes!!!

Re: Wedding Regrets

Bump! Any more regrets from the newer brides? Found this to be very helpful girls!

Re: Wedding Regrets

I regret Not having a bridal shower.

I regret not standing my ground when I said some people should NOT be invited to my wedding.

I regret not reminding my BM that we do want the food that is left over at the end of the night (Stupid me thought that was in my CONTRACT!!!)

I regret not asking to do the Horah over when realizing that they forgot to pick up DH

Re: Wedding Regrets

I regret not warning my dad that he should plan a wedding-appropriate speech, or none at all. And not drink beforehand. This is a big one. I regret even letting him have one.

I regret not being able to sleep the night before...I left my after party at 1:30 because I was exhausted everyone else stayed awake till like 4:30 AM, including DH! I literally was awake for all but 2 hours. I was a nervous wreck.

I regret not going into our photobooth!!!!! Our photo attendant made sure DH and I went in, thank goodness, but I didn't go in with anyone else. Boooooo.

I regret not taking pictures with my aunt and cousins. I said we needed to after the church, but we all totally forgot.

I think that's it...only the first one is major though!

Re: Wedding Regrets

I don't really have any regrets...

The band did not play a few songs I requested.

The RH LOST our glass DH broke at the ceremony and refuses to confess to it (that situation will be in my review).


Besides those 2 things, it was everything I had planned it to be. My BP was somewhat large (FIVE FGs) and everything went smoothly-with the exception of my SIL still owing me for the dress.

There isn't a vendor I would change

Re: Wedding Regrets

ooo this is a good one....
I have to say for the most part everything was great except....

1. I hated how my cake looked! It was so opposite of the picture I had given them..when I see pictures I kinda cringe.
2. I looked into so many florists bc my mom was a florist and the flowers were a big part for me...I learned that the most 'elite/expensive' florist is not always the best...I should have went with someone else bc my centerpieces were messed up big time..thank god my mother was there to fix them before guests got into the ballroom. I wish I argued with them more- because all I got in return was a half @ss sorry from them, no monitary compensation.
3. I wish I ate!

Re: Wedding Regrets

I try not to have regrets because in comparison to the positives, my wedding was great!!

I regret not hanging out with my OOT family and friends more, I had to ask my mom if I ended up dancing with her because I don't recall.
