First wedding mishap - Bridezilla activate

I think my first planning mishap was with things I purchased. So many of my orders came out wrong! I ordered 10 boutonnieres and two corsages and somehow I got 7 boutonnieres and five corsages. That was the very first of a string of wrong orders.

I'm sorry this is happening to you! Mine would probably be David's Bridal not having any of the $99 dresses from their website. My dad was very kind, though, and bought me a more expensive dress!

Our first mishap was picking the date hahaha. We wanted to do June 4 because that is the halfway mark of each year of our dating relationship, but FH’s mom is a teacher and doesn’t get out of school until the 7th, so we opted for June 12 instead.

Not getting approved by the priest for a church ceremony. We moved on to a civil ceremony quickly, but there remains a lot of Emotion around it.

Now there seems to be Issues with FSIL.

My favorite venue was terrible with communication and I had to drop them and go with someone else.

* vendor , food vendor not venue

In the excitement of getting my Save the Dates done I ordered 1 for each guest, not thinking that most of the guests are couples 😂😂 😂

Our first mishap is when I thought I wanted to DIY our reception BC my vision looked easy to do. So i ordered these cylinders for the tables and when they came in they were sooo TALL AND BIG. I literally had a melt down and was like babe, we have to find a decor lady. Gladly, we found an affordable decor company and I can use those cylinders for the ceremony,

Mine was the date. FH was adamant for an April wedding. He wouldn't budge and I caved. I wanted summer.

View Quoted Comment Same. My late summer/fall wedding is in March.

View Quoted Comment Omg! I almost did the same thing with invites! Glad I caught myself and also glad I’m not the only one who did this!

Happened to me too, any ideas on what to do with extra STDs?

Mine was trusting my Mom to take care of my flowers because I work 8-5 and live four hours away from my hometown where I am getting married. My wedding is in 5 months and I still don't have a price for flowers because my Mom says she's been "busy" and hasn't gotten around to talking to the florist. I can't do it myself because I don't think planning wedding flowers via phone / email will really workout. I hate that we moved before the wedding but at the same time the jobs we were offered would have been insane to pass on.

View Quoted Comment Michelle I did the same thing!!! Luckily I realized the same day I made the order and was able to call the company and change it without much hassel.

View Quoted Comment Honesty you should call the florist yourself. I used to work for a wholesale florist which isn't the same but you can get a lot of info and inspiration from talking and even emailing. Your florist will be able to get a lot of info over the phone and you guys can email photos of your inspiration a d what she has as well through email. I wouldn't wait for your mother anymore as its clearly not a priority for like it is for you.

View Quoted Comment When I was pricing save the dates and invitations, I did this too. I was horrified by the cost.
Hoping this means you'll save a ton on invitations!

View Quoted Comment I will end up doing that, but I am so stressed already about the wedding that I was hoping I could count on her to relieve me of that one task but I see she has failed in that department. I am allowed to have my phone at work because I work for FH's family but they don't want us to have phone conversations if that makes sense, so my only time to call them would be my lunch hour between 12 - 1 and just hope the answer and can work with me during that time frame for any non text / email problems.

I’m sorry you’re going thru this. I’m sure you’ll find a way.
Many first mishap and probably the biggest one was finding out the rental company for my wedding furniture (chairs, tables, sofas) was closing. I almost had an attack. The deposit I have given was optional for a full refund or transfer to a new company of my choosing. They recommended one similar to the furniture they offer and went with it in the end. It was very overwhelming because we had to redesign the entire look for our cocktail hour and change our vision. Honestly ended up working out much better than the other one so I was happy in the end.

One of my centerpieces I needed to redo went missing today.... can't find it anywhere. I made all of mine myself and there was one that needed repainted and now it's completely missing and I'm not sure if the store I bought it from originally will have anymore. So there might be one table with a random centerpiece which is really gonna mess with me 😪

View Quoted Comment I had all my communication with my florist and honestly all my vendor only thru email and a few phone calls with some vendors. I had a destination wedding and I went to see my vendors 11 months before the wedding but they were all booked by then. The florist did a mock-up of my bouquet and we changed a few things around but 99% of the planning was done thru email. I never had a phone call with her and let me tell you I was so happy with the result. She read everything and we went back and forward endless time until we figured out and designed what I wanted. If I was you I’ll email or call your florist right away before she gets book.
