There is so much stress in wanting absolutely everything for your big day to be special but at some point we have to say enough is enough. So lets throw somethings out the window! What details - big or small - are you NOT worried about? (Obviously this is not to make anyone feel bad if any of these...

For me I have quite the list, because at the end of the day I'm going to be married to the love of my life, and that's all that matters.

-My "wedding shoes" I could care less about them its just another unnecessary expense for me personally and I'm honestly considering going barefoot.

-Programs.. Just glorified garbage in my eyes lol. I know no body will read them and there just going to end up in the trash.

-CENTERPIECES.. I know, call me crazy.. But I always think does anyone care or remember them? I was at a wedding this past weekend and she had a few lanterns with a candle in them and that was it. And it was perfect and beautiful! So I'm not stressing about this one, in fact I'm not buying ANYTHING for my centerpieces besides some babies breath or other dainty flowers to go into the items i already own and plan on re-purposing for the day.

Flowers. Dear lord, they're expensive. And I literally do not care about them. I made some paper flowers from book pages for my bridesmaids, and I'm having silk flowers for myself. And (at my mother's insistence) I ordered a corsage for her and a boutonniere for my dad off of Amazon -- paid $9 for the set. Instead I'm primarily using faux leaves (October wedding) that I got on Amazon. They'll be spread around the centerpieces and such.
Food. Not that we don't care about food, but we don't care about FANCY food. Tbh I HATE banquet food. So we are doing pizza. Because I literally do not want to sit down to eat after such a long day and be dissatisfied with my meal. And who doesn't love pizza? Hater's gonna hate but at the end of the day my tummy will be happy.

This is our second wedding so we are chucking a lot lol.
No seating chart - sit where you like.
No programs
the ONLY traditions we are keeping are first dance and cake cut..........but we only have one layer. We got cupcakes for everyone else.
No toasts - we got bottles of wine for each table instead of champagne.
No wedding party intro/parent intro - just us.
Sweetheart table only - no wedding party.
No cocktail/formal hour

Were not having favors, programs.
All my items are simple as well. I put a lot of thought on what we will have but they are budget friendly.
