Married Ladies RE: Your wedding day look

There were so many things I absolutely loved about my wedding. Though I must say that I think about a few things I would have changed quite frequently. Things that probably no one would have noticed or thought twice about, but I think about.

I'm an over-analyzer

1. I wish I didn't have white eye liner, I wish someone noticed it and said, 'Hey, that doesn't look good, change it to black!' Also there are things about my hair I wish were different, but I'm not sure how I would change it. It wasn't like my trial though. The airbrush makeup was great!!!

2. I wish I had flowers, flowers and more flowers everywhere for my ceremony. Top of the arch, petals on the sides of the isle, etc. I was told I wasn't aloud to have petals on the ground because it might go in to the fountain, but the night before my wedding the bridal attendant told me I was aloud to and didnt know why someone would tell me that. Oh well.

3. I wish I had spot lights on my centerpieces (again, not a big deal, but it really would have been a nice touch)

4. I wish I knew about that shoe site that has shoes with blue on the bottom. I would have totally bought a pair for my day. My shoes were perfect, but I love little touches like that.

5. I kinda wish I kept the shorter veil on for at least my first dance, but I took it all off after cocktail hour.

I really hate thinking about the coulda shoulda woulda's, I need to accept everything for what it was.

Amanda, Danielle, and Denise! Thank you guys SOOOO much!!!

I am so NOT a hot piece of asss! Thank you!!!




and p.s. I'm listening to a mix CD right now and it's all people's wedding songs - it was a favor - and I HATE Josh Groban. There I said it. It feels good. His voice makes me shudder for some reason.

Leslie-i can drive myself crazy too with 'ahhh maybe if i added this, or did this it would've gone great with everything' but then as soon as i start i try to tell myself to stop right away lol. But everything you did was AMAZING, so dont drive yourself crazy

thank you and yes its in our heads. We just went to a wedding at tribeca rooftop and the CP's were INSANE, they were these VERY long vases, longer than normal, and instead of putting flowers inside the vase, the put it on this base that was put on top of the base and then huge branches and red flowers coming out of it. It was so gorgeous and i had wanted cherry blossoms originally but dh didnt like the very branchy look lol. But yeah we have to stop haha

Seriously- yea I'm sure we could pick our own days apart- especially seeing other people pics and whatnot but in the end- I think we all had pretty amazing days and we all are married now and enjoying life- weddings go in the books

Yea its alot of dough to spend on one day but I would say its worth it...overall I have the time of my life with my husband and it didn't matter about these little details...whatever happens, happens!

Ok- I don't want to insult anyone, but I wasn't totally happy with my hair. I felt like it fell out of the curl way too fast and toward the end I just looked like a mess.

Also, I HATED my headpiece! I really wanted to wear a flower in my hair but my mom talked me into the headband. I really kinda regret that decision because its not me. whatever, its nothing major but since you asked.....

ETA: I also got talked into getting a stick to mount my veil on and it was a BIG mistake! It fell out the entire time and totally FACKED my hair up!

---

i LOVED your hair!! in fact a pic of you from your wedding was in my Hair Ideas album

i thought it looked so classy and beautiful!

EXACTLY!!!! when i really think about it, would more branches in my cp have made my day better lol of course not so yeah it is silly when you think about it. I had the most amazing day of my life and thats what matters. None of those little details would've changed how we felt in the end

I too loved everything...I do think I should have cut the extensions a little bit, but other than that, loved it all.
good post denise!

Leslie i loved your wedding!! everything you did was gorgeous!!! i know what you mean about little things you would have done differently but in the end you really had a perfect wedding!

I loved everything! I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted my hair, but my hair stylist really did a great job! And my make-up artist was amazing - I loved my eyes!

Everything I wore that day was great, too - my dress, shoes, etc. were all comfy until the very end of the night (then my feet started hurting!) but my shoes lasted me the whole day and I felt fine!

I wouldn't change one thing about my wedding day look.

Another good point too, I'm sure people at our weddings are thinking wow, I should do my centerpieces like that or I love her hair, etc. So, in the end it is just a cycle of too many options out there! I think that is why some people are party or wedding planners. They can create every type of party with different colors, themes, budgets, etc!

I thought about that too, after the fact...but then I thought, what can I do! As they say, hindsight is 20/20! But I really had a great day, so it's not worth thinking about!

I loved my make up, and loved my hair up until the reception my curls didn't hold up...I should have carried a can of hairspray. I was also super upset that my dress kept on rising up (cause of the hoop skirt) which showed my feet. But I insisted on wearing the hoop skirt

---

i am curious, for you girls that hair didnt hold up and curls didnt hold up and fell early on. How was your hair done day of? was it curly iron or rollers was it a combo? I know my hair stylist said the best thing to do is curl it with an iron then you take each curl and pin it up for a bit and this will make the curl last longer.

---

My hair was curled with a curling iron. It has held up all day when she has done it that way before, but the rain made it go straight, which I kinda expected anyways. Tons of hairspray was used and it didn't do anything. I totally didn't mind that my hair started to go straight though, it still looked good.

I was happy I think. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my dress, and was super happy with that, my make-up was airbrush and was great--only thing was I should have re-applied lipstick before the CH (after all those kissing pics!) but I didn't....not a huge deal though since my lips have a lot of natural color. Shoes I was happy with, made a last minute change there and it was a good one. Veil, I didn't really care about either way, sometimes I see other people's on here that are gorgeous and regret it, but in the end my mom made mine and it worked. It was the best with my dress. The only regret I have is it blew out once while we were taking pics and my Bridal Attendant put it back in backwards (like the comb was curved and supposed to go with my head and instead it was against) so after that it looked weird. That was close to the end of our pics anyway.

Hair, I was happy with. The day before I went to my final fitting and had my hair down and I was like oooh I like it with my hair down, BUT it was like 95 degrees the day of my wedding and I think I might have died! I did not wear a headpiece and I don't regret that at all, although I had a tough time deciding not to. DOJ I wore my grandmother's pearl necklace and that was it, and it was perfect.

Overall I felt like I looked like me as a Bride so it was perfect--I didn't want to look like a different person and I know I didn't!

overall i was happy with my look...my hair fell by the time of the reception (but i figured it might bc my hair is annoying like that-and it was curled with a curling iron and held up for awhile) so i kinda wish i payed someone to come and touch it up but oh well

Now looking back i kinda wish i wore a veil during the reception...i actually really like the pics of me wearing a veil and it prob would have hid my hair better

Denise, I'm so glad you started this...I was only thinking the other day 'should I change my mind and wear my hair half up and half down' and wondered if anyone regret their decision.

My hair will not hold the curl and if it rains, it will get frizzy, so I'm going with all up..

thanks for starting this...It's interesting to read.
