Constant second guessing

Hi friends - I'm posting because I feel like I'm having panic and possible regret over almost every decision we make for the wedding. It's super stressful! We're three months out from the wedding and it's not that I think I don't like what we've chosen, but I'm CONSTANTLY questioning. It's exhausting. I didn't have an overwhelming "OMG" about my dress and now I'm worried I should have kept looking. I saw another venue advertised on this site and now I'm thinking I should have looked longer and maybe I would have found something that worked even better. I know this is common angst for brides - but how do people manage these anxieties?? HALP.

I stopped looking at other options once I made my decisions. It was the only way for me to save my sanity. As for an OMG moment for the dress, some people get them, others don't. I had more of a butterfly feeling in my gut, which confused me to no end since I was expecting the OMG moment.

Don’t look anymore once your decision is made. Just move to the next checklist item.

I agree with the above, try not to look at anything besides the vendors you already have booked. Also, remember why you are getting married- to be with the one you love and to celebrate with your loved ones! It will be amazing.

This is something my sister and I were talking about recently. She got married in 2016 and when she saw my venue she told her husband how beautiful it was and he felt like she regretted their wedding choices. That isn't the case, she loved her wedding, it was just a different style. I think that with weddings now a days there are so many beautiful options that you're always going to second guess some decisions, but you only get to pick one of each thing this time around. Maybe you can renew your vows and have a different style then.

Remember. No matter what happens at the end of the day you'll be married. (Lots of wedding stress for me so I have to tell myself this a lot) If anything is less than perfect no one will remember and over researching can easily make you talk yourself out of something good. Take a deep breath. You got this. Trust yourself.
