married ladies... any regrets about your wedding day?

Wish we'd picked different photographer and DJ.

I also wish I'd sucked it up and worn my Spanx even though it was hot as ----- on the wedding day. And I kinda wish I had done a dress w/ straps.

I have a couple. if I were to do it again, I would have delegated my to-do's more specifically. lots of details went haywire, for example I ended up wearing my mothers shoes because I left mine at the hotel, along with my tiara and spanx. my sister in law gave me the spanx off her butt at the last minute! Such silly little things that caused such unnecessary stress. i forgot to put out my charitable donation cards as favors on the place settings, and ended up putting them in the thank you cards. a big oops, because there should be favors at weddings. Then other stuff happenned; dinner service took way too long and it cut into our dancing time. also, I wish I had planned my toast, because I didn't feel I said what I truly wished to. Overall, it was an awesome day. I knew things would go wrong, just not how I thought.

I wish I would have eaten more that morning. I felt sick to my stomach from nerves and hardly ate. As soon as the ceremony was over they handed me a glass of wine... and I didn't have anything in my stomach. I was feeling pretty good by the end of the night but I wish I would have eaten more.

I also didn't get to taste our cake because we were up dancing when it was cut and I was disappointed in that. Same with our favors (cupcakes)... I didn't get to taste those either.

Our wedding was perfect and flawless but I have some personal regrets. I wish I would of had a different dress because it ended up being a little too loose the week of and I was pulling it up all ngt, in hindsight I would have a different type of neckline for sure. the dress was gorgeous but I felt like it took away from me. I wish now I hadn't been so hard core with the guest list and allowed some of the ones I had cut out. Also would of done the first look and had all the pics taken before so we could of enjoyed more of our cocktail hour. But as far as the day itself it was perfect I had an awesome director and nothing went wrong and we were told how beautiful it was and how well planned out.

Keep 'em coming ladies! I love hearing stuff like this, so I can try to plan for different things

I would have told my MOH to not bother to show up.

I would have a different photographer.

Other than that, I was pleased with everything!

No regrets as much as notes for my childrens' weddings.

I would have done a better job of spreading the word about it being an adult wedding and about it being unplugged. I would have packed well beforehand to make sure we didn't forget things. I would have remembered to do first touch photos. I would have had a better timeline and a better list of photos to take.

I would have eaten right away instead of waiting, and I would have eaten more. I would have been harder on the guest list (and skipped some other weddings in order to be able to cut it some.)

It was a great day, the things were relatively minor and didn't take anything away from the day at all. I just think some of these things would have added just a bit more to it.

I wish I had talked about our first look and shown DH what I was looking for in our pictures and how the whole thing worked.. he turned around too quickly and sort of ruined the romance of the moment, but it's sort of funny to look back on now! Hehe

I wish I had had one of my good friends in my wedding party, even if it had made the sides uneven! Not a huge ordeal, but I just wish she could have had more of a "role" in our day, because she means so much

I wish our photo booth guestbook had been promoted a little better.. Only about half of our guests used it.. of course, the ones that did use it, used it a TON so we have lots of great pictures!

But honestly, I would not hesitate to relive the entire day over again.. AMAZING!!!

The feeling of my day was AMAZING!! Of course all the regrets came after the actual day.

The cake topper was supposed to be flowers. Instead the florist put it in front of the cake.

The servers didnt serve the cupcakes...people had to get them themselves and we had ALOT of cupcakes left over

I too wish for a better photographer...he didn't get our vision. We still got framable shots though...

We still took photos the entire cocktail hour...lol

The DJ was perfect we danced the night away with 150 of our closest friends and family.

People loved the photobooth

My girls were amazing in making me feel like a Queen during the morning prep

The first look was even more than I expected. It was our wedding party and our parents so it was like an intimate family moment before the big shabang

I wish I would have booked more hours for the reception. 4 hours is not enough time if you really want to party. The meal, blessing, toasts, formal dances etc took two hours easy. Not to mention the quick interviews during the reception with our videographer and the private shots with our photographer. I felt like I didnt have enough time to party with my family and friends. My guests had a blast though :-)

The ceremony was like a dream. Our First Touch pictures were sweet and endearing. Our grand entrance and first dance were THE BOMB.COM. The toasts were beautiful and heartfelt. I JUST WANTED MORE TIME....Just and EXTRA HOUR

I wish more than anything that I had picked a different photographer. I still keep wondering if I should email her and express my disappointment. I also wish I had worn either stockings or nothing on my legs...I wore a short dress and opted for the thigh highs. Bad move since they showed in many of the photos.

Just one I wish my reception had been like an half hour to an hour longer. I had just finished visiting every guest and then it was time for our get away.

The only thing I wish is that me and the girls would have taken more (fun/candid) photos!!

Keep 'em coming ladies!

Really glad that I've got a non-strapless dress, great photographer and DJ, meticulous day-of schedule, and a first look planned so that we can attend cocktail hour.

A little nervous that our whole event, from ceremony to sendoff, is only 5 hours. Luckily we do have a casual afterparty planned.

I love this post. I like knowing both the good and the things you didn't like so much!

OMG YES YES YES! I wish I had done things more traditionally, planned for better vendors, planned money correctly. Done the traditional girls go to david's bridal, find the same dress. Church ceremony, different venue for reception, done things differently for the bar. So many things I wish I could have done differently. Had more time to enjoy things.

All in All, I wish i could replan the entire thing.

I wish I would have worn a strapless bra. My ladies weren't pushed up the way I wanted them. I had cups sewn in.

I wish we would have gotten more family pics. It started to rain shortly after our ceremony. The rain was supposed to pass & my photographer told us we could wait on the family photos until the rain stopped. Well after the rain stopped H & I had a few drinks in us & wanted to dance. Our photographer asked if we were ready to finish the photos & we were both like no...we have enough. Yeah...we def didn't have enough. We had pics of me with my fam & him with his fam, but none combined. At least the photos of the two of us & bridal party turned out good.

Last one...make sure you pee before they put the dress on!!!

I do agree. this is one of my fav posts so far.

The better question is what would I do the same? Out officiant messed up really badly. I also wish from the start we had planned a tiny ceremony and larger reception. I wish I'd worn a different dress. I wish I'd done everything closer to where we live. That being said, it really was a great time and I loved our garden party feel to the reception. Also, our photographer was awesome! And we will be married a year in a week!

Yes I love these posts!
