What wedding vision have you changed or compromised?

I never thought I'd be having a lunch reception in the church fellowship hall but that is exactly what we're planning right now. I am happy with the decision though because I think we can make it look really elegant. Now everything is revolving around making that work. I know it's going to present some challenges, but I think the money we save will be worth it. FH parents are having an after party that evening that I am so stoked for!

I originally wanted a DW but most of my family and FHs family wouldn't have been able to afford to come. Fast forward... then I wanted a small, I know everyone hates the word but "vintage" wedding with soft pinks, greens, toupes. Now, I'm having 130 people "rustic glam." Never would have thought that... but I'm okay with it!

This is a change and compromise rolled into one.

We were originally going to have our ceremony on the beach where he proposed and then our reception would be at a hall a couple minutes away.

We found an AMAZING venue right on the boardwalk/beach and we can have our ceremony on the back deck overlooking the beach and ocean and then go right into our cocktail hour and reception. So I get a beach ceremony without the sand.

Not having children at our reception... that has changed and we have kids invited. BOO! lol.

We were going to have our wedding at our uncle's amazing lake house. It was just crazy expensive and stressful, we would've had to have 14 vendors from fork rental to bathroom rentals and drivers to get people from parking to the house... We're saving about $5k the way we are doing it at a venue.

I always wanted to get married outside by a body of water, but due to the time of year we compromised on, I decided to do it inside and also we're not by water lol. It'll be too hot. I'll only change my mind if miraculously we get a cooler Texas summer. :-)

My colors have changed any number of times. Since we met with the florist Saturday though they are finally finalized.

The fact that I'm having a big wedding in the first place was a vision change for me. I wanted a small wedding and an intimate reception (maybe 20 people).

My ideas have gotten cleaner, more tailored, sleeker, more elegant, and simpler since we started planning too. No fuss!

My reception location. Oh and the length of my dress.

I wanted a Saturday night wedding with a fair amount of people (including kids). Now we're doing a Sunday brunch wedding, much smaller and no kids. I love that we're doing it at the beach and love brunch food, so I'm ok with it.

I really wanted a full variety of gourmet apps and excellent wine, but realized it was a waste of money to feed that to guests who are not huge food snobs like I am.

Kids: I wanted a no kids wedding, but my partner is very close with his family and younger cousins. Thankfully, there really aren't any kids to invite except our younger cousins!

Ceremony: I wanted to walk down the aisle with my partner, but he wants to have that moment of seeing me walk down the aisle towards him.

Season: I love the fall, and I would have loved to get married outside on a day in September or early October. We've decided to get married on our anniversary, though ... and we live in New England. Whoops!

I had to compromise on my entire venue because I didn't want to spend money on a menu I didn't like & we planned on using a amphitheatre feature to do the actual ceremony until we found it was'nt a part of the wedding package. The venue location is the same but we're not utilizing the restaurant I was even willing to have the wedding on a Sunday but they just would'nt budge with that menu. So we're DIYing the whole thing & will still have great veiws for our pics.

I wanted no kids but FH says we cant do that.

I wanted ceremony at a church but everyone said they did not want to travel

I wanted my wedding at this amazing ranch but it was soooo expensive.

I/we wanted a DW at my favorite beach in California where I grew up... but when we realized that most of the family (on either side) wouldn't make it...it wasn't worth it.

Ironically, the part that has been changed or comprimised is the whole reception! Origionally, we werent going to have a reception, we were just going to do a small ceremony with cake and punch to save money. But my mom convinced us to have a reception especially since this is our first snd ONLY wedding so that we can have memories. So far, im happy that we chose to do it. I cant wait until the actual day

My DW has turned to a local wedding. My guest list went from 30 people to 166 ceremony and 538 for the reception. - my vision has gone from an intimate family gathering to a train wreck of details, guests, and $$$

I haven't really compromised much yet. I really wanted to have the guys in khaki colored tuxes, but FH is totally against it. He really wants black. That is the only thing really so far.

I always pictured my wedding outdoors with a garden or by water. I actually looked at a whole bunch of places and went a completely different way. I fell in love with the venue I chose. I looked at a whole bunch of places that were what I pictured but didn't like what they offered and it just didn't feel right. Then I looked at my venue and couldn't get it out of my mind. The ceremony is still outside but there isn't water or a garden and the reception hall is indoors and beautiful. I really liked the owner and he is part of the reason I picked the place.

When we first got engaged I was literally googling venues in Vegas, Hawaii, Tahoe… somewhere we could go with 20 people and get married. Now I’m having a wedding with most of the norm traditions with 140 people. A year ago if you would’ve told me this, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Originally I wanted a lunch reception but the whole day's been moved back. It'll still be good
