Post wedding regrets

Lindsay, on March 21, 2025 at 6:35 AM Posted in Married Life 0 4
I had the best day on my wedding day but looking back I have a lot of regrets that have been eating at me. First, I wish I shopped around longer for a florist. The florist we used was rude, inflexible with budget and wasn’t offering any other suggestions to stay within our budget. I ended up having to give up a lot of floral arrangements to save money, which I wonder was the best option. Our tables looked horrible, I can’t stop stressing over it. Last minute I decided I wanted table clothes instead cheese cloths bc the legs on the tables were showing, but the table cloths were a wrinkled mess so we couldn’t use the with our time. So we used cheese cloths and the legs on the table were showing. We also barely had any decor on the tables. We were so focused on trying to save money on things that weren’t “needed” but looking back I wish I put more time and money into making the tables look nice. I worry that the guests noticed how bad they looked

    What made you change your mind about decor? You didn't mention someone actually being so brazen as to say bad comments to you? Everyone wishes something could be changed about their wedding. But, try to accept that you and your fiancé (and/or others who financed the wedding) did the best they could within budget limits. You made your priorities and decor/floral was not it. Unlimited money would be nice but that's not reality. Make peace with your decisions, you did great. Congratulations on your marriage. It's about you two now, no one else to impress.

    It would be inconsiderate for anyone to have an issue with the decor but would be excusable. The primary goal is the celebration of your marriage and that should be the focus of anyone. Many things were beyond your control and experience level with the budget you had and help that was available. So be happy with what you were able to do. It is not a competition but rather the time to enjoy.

    Thank you so much! This message does help a lot. The only thing that made me change my mind with the decor on tables was that I didn’t realize the legs would be showing with the cheese cloths until I saw it in person as to why I wanted table cloths. I just hope this wasn’t something guest would typically notice. Our venue was at a beautiful barn that has so much character so I felt less could be presented since the venue itself was so gorgeous. I just hope the tables didn’t look terrible to our guests! Thank you again for your response.

    Those things were materialistic. What you have with your spouse will last a lifetime. It was never about the perfect wedding. It's about you and your spouse and the lifetime of memories you both are going to create together. Who cares what the guests thinks? You didn't marry them and they didn't help chip in to pay for the decorations either. Congrats on your marriage and I wish the two of you peace and blessings.
