i am too indecisive!!

Tosha, on September 25, 2019 at 2:11 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

My date is set for 2/22/2020. My SO and I are paying for everything so going as minimal as possible. We are getting married in a church (for his families sake). I am having a hard time finding a dress and I am getting frustrated with myself. It took me 2 months just to pick the color scheme. I don't have anything done except we bought his suit.

Family will be preparing all of the food (thankfully) and flower arrangements. I have not sent save the dates or invitation but we are only inviting close family so I am thinking we can just make a phone calls, send some texts, and call it done.

I don't have too many decisions to make but the few I do have (dress, table decor, schedule for the day, music) I am having a really hard time with and I have never been very good at making decisions. Everyone tells me "just pick what you want and don't worry about what others may want, it is your day..." the problem is I am worried about making a decision I will regret. I don't want to simply let everyone else plan it for me because what if I don't like their choice?

I cannot wait for this whole thing to just be over!! Am I the only one???

    Yeah I remember there were certain parts of wedding planning for me that I just kept going back and forth about. Eventually you'll get the decision made accordingly.

    I'm right there with you! I really am a queen of indecisiveness so I completely understand. It's so hard when there's so many options for everything! *sigh* We're in a 2 year engagement and I just want everything to just happen now. I can't wait until the day that we just get married, can stop all of this planning, running around, decision making, etc. There's so much that goes into it!

    I will say though that you should really jump onto getting a wedding dress and getting the date and info out to your guests sooner than later, especially since your date is coming up. You'll get it all figured out and everything will eventually fall into place though. Smiley smile

    Don’t worry about save the dates, they’re not necessary so save your money. This is only something that’s become popular over the past decade. Before that, if you knew the wedding date it was via word of mouth. Nothing wrong with that.
    Since your food and flowers are being done by family, that should take a lot of stress out of it. Just let them do what they do best.
    As far as a color scheme and whatnot, I wouldn’t stress about that either. Just figure it out as you go. I would start looking for a dress. There are a lot of options out there that you can find that are inexpensive or on clearance, making them affordable. I got mine for $199 on clearance at David’s Bridal. Once you get your dress, it makes it easier for everything else to fall in place because you can start to actually envision what your day will look like.

    It took me two months to settle on the colors. Thanks for the vote of confidence, it will all get done I am sure, I am just stressing.

    Thank you I am not alone! The wedding dress has been so hard because I have a small budget and am very critical of my body. I have tried on at least 20 dresses and there is always some small thing that I can't get over. I love the top, hate the bottom and vice versa. I wanted a lace boho type of dress but we are now getting married in a chapel so it won't look right.

    We do at least have the date (Feb 22, 2020) and have put the word out. I am hoping to have my DIY invites completed this weekend so we can get them out (text and email).


    Thank you for the advice!!

    I completely agree and think that is why I am really freaking out is that I haven't found the dress AND it is hard for me to decide on centerpiece/decor because I feel like the dress sets the tone for everything else.

    I want a ball gown and can only afford a slip and veil HAHAHA

    You are not alone! I did pick my dress and the venue but everything else I’m sooooooo overwhelmed with. I keep going back and forth between colors and schemes and I can’t nail
    down a color. My fh just says he want something that will still look good in 20 years. Everyone keeps saying just pick who cares but like me, I care! This has been the most frustrating thing. And forget Pinterest that stupid app just makes everything worse... too many options!

    Pinterest has been helpful and awful at the same time!! I found a few cute ideas for food on a budget but there are way too many options! As far as color, I just picked my favorite color (blue) and one accent color (silver). I told everyone to pick their own outfits as long as they are some shade of blue or silver.

    In my opinion, any color will still look good in twenty years as long as you stay away from the 'whimsical" theme. No neon or rainbow palettes.
