Planning your wedding is is a HUGE DEAL! It's filled with excitement, decisions, and Pinterest boards with tons of wedding ideas. But in between all the fun, it's easy to overlook some of the details that might leave you with a twinge of regret on your big day. Let's dive into the 8 biggest regrets brides have so you can remember your wedding day as the BEST day of your entire life!
Not Hiring a Wedding Videographer
Trust me, this one tops the list for a reason. Photos are wonderful and dreamy, but a video captures the sound, movement, and emotions in a way that still images simply can’t. Seeing and hearing your vows, the speeches, and those spontaneous moments—there’s nothing like it. Don’t miss out on reliving your day through your very own wedding film!
Check out the reasons why you should hire a wedding videographer for your wedding day!
Not Vibing with Your Vendors
Your vendors are your wedding day dream team, so make sure you vibe with them! Schedule phone calls or meetings ahead of time to ensure you click. Having a team you completely trust and feel comfortable with will make your day so much smoother and more enjoyable.
Rushing Through the Day and Letting Small Stuff Stress You
It’s your wedding day!!! Take a deep breath and savor every moment possible. One common regret is rushing from one thing to the next without taking time to soak it all in. Plan a schedule that allows for some breathing room and moments to just be present with your lover!
Something will inevitably go wrong, but don’t let it ruin your day. Whether it’s a minor decor mishap or a wardrobe malfunction, just roll with it. Focus on the love and joy surrounding you rather than the tiny details.
Skipping the First Look
Some brides regret not doing first-look photos. It’s an intimate moment between you and your partner, away from the crowd, that can help calm your nerves and make for some incredibly emotional and beautiful photos.
Not Eating Enough
You’ve planned a feast with all of your favorite foods, but so many brides forget to actually eat! Make sure to set aside time to enjoy your meal. Especially if you're going to be enjoying a glass of wine or two... or three! After all, you chose that menu for a reason. Plus, you’ll need the energy to dance and laugh the night away with your closest loved ones!
Not Taking Time for Just the Two of You
Your wedding day is a celebration of your love, so carve out a few minutes to steal away with your new spouse. Whether it’s a quiet moment after the ceremony or a sunset stroll, these private moments are precious.
Wearing Uncomfortable Shoes and Not Retouching Your Makeup
Those stunning heels might look amazing, but if they’re not comfortable, you’ll regret it by the end of the night. Consider wearing comfortable shoes or having a backup pair of flats for dancing. Your feet will thank you!
Your makeup will need a little touch-up throughout the day, especially after the ceremony and during the reception. Keep a small bag with essentials like lipstick, powder, and blotting papers nearby. It’ll keep you looking fresh and photo-ready all day long.
So there you have it—8 of the biggest wedding day regrets. Take these tips to heart, plan with intention, and most importantly, enjoy every single moment of your special day. Because at the end of it all, your wedding is about celebrating love, joy, and the start of a beautiful journey together.
