I would pay extra to have the hair and make-up lady come to the venue.
On the day we met up with her half way between her house and the venue, at her father’s house. Doing all the hair and makeup took much longer than we expected and then we were caught in traffic on the way to the venue. I had about twenty minutes to bath, dress and primp and about five minutes for pre-ceremony photo’s before we had to rush down to the church.
From the time we got to the venue until well into the reception I didn’t have a chance to sit down and breathe. I also didn’t really have a chance to eat anything semi-solid before the ceremony and I was starving! In the end I was sharing bites of my flower girl’s sandwich between photo’s but it really didn’t help :p
Other than that, I’d write down which photo shots I really wanted. I didn’t write them down because I thought that I’d remember to tell the photographer but it slipped my mind so I didn’t get some of the shots I wanted.
except the person i said i do to, i would change nearly everything. my parents took over my wedding to have a fantasy wedding of their own, which of course wasnt what i or my husband wanted. it was still gorgeous, but way too much money spent!
Re-adjust the chair cover order. We ordered them way back when we first sent out invites, but 1/3 of the folks we invited didn’t attend. We could have saved hundreds of dollars if we had contacted them and reduced the number of covers we were ordering. So many of them just remained folded in the box.
Less bridesmaids. I had 6 and only wanted 3 or 4. My husband wanted a ton of people, so we settled at 6. There were just too many headaches dealing with so many people.
We had an after party and all of our guests left to go to the after party. My husband and I and my parents were the last ones to leave the wedding reception. Kind of disappointing. I would have had some kind of different activity every 30 minutes during the reception to keep guests more engaged. We had a cake and punch reception. I would have had food but since my mother-in-law plotted the after party and plotted to have food, I changed my plans to exclude having food at the reception. I reckon this contributed to guest leaving. My wedding was gorgeous. I have fantastic memories. But I would have continued with what I plotted even with my in-laws plans. And I have been married 30 years.
I can’t honestly reckon of a single thing I’d change. We did those things that mattered to us and omitted the rest.
BTW–Today is our second anniversary, so I’ve been thinking a lot about our wedding day today
It was doubtless my favorite day ever.
I wouldn’t have married that cheating SOB.
and like you, If I weren’t separated now, I would have wanted to hire a professional videographer.
I would have called the thing off and left him. But hindsights 20/20. So besides that, the only thing I can reckon of that I would have changes is that I would have made sure to have an extra person on hand to watch the reception tent during the ceremony. I had to question the date of one of my friends to do it and still feel terrible about them missing the ceremony. I didn’t realize until the day before the wedding that we couldn’t leave the tent unattended (according to the rental company).
I would have done the centerpieces on my tables differently. I would have questioned the photographer to take more pictures of my family and I together, in un-posed positions.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t change a thing! Still my very favorite day!
I would invite less people. Even if I let my thoughts be known then, my in-laws still invited everybody they had ever heard of. Being introduced to people at your own wedding is no fun.
I would hire a different photographer. We never really met with the photographer before the wedding. We dealt with the company and the reputations of both the company and the photographer. The pictures came out fine, but the woman was unprofessional to the greatest degree and made many of my guests (as well as me) uncomfortable.
Other than that, I have no real regrets. I never wanted the huge habitual wedding but my husband did. He did a fantastic job of preparation it and we had a blast. I wouldn’t do it again because you get ONE chance at a wedding. Make it what you want the first time around!
I would have hired a makeup artist
I would change the groom! LOL
Seriously even if…a wedding is about the commitment..all those other things dont matter.
