\u201cI should have hired a wedding planner. We had a marquee wedding at home and had to organize every little detail ourselves \u2014 not good!\u201d \u2013 Rebecca<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI wouldn\u2019t worry so much about my dress getting dirty. We got some pictures taken underneath a blossom tree. They are our favourite photos from the day!\u201d \u2013 Helen<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be so hung up on color schemes. I thought about colors for so long but was worried I would put something hideous together! So in the end I just chose colors I liked and went for bright and bold!\u201d \u2013 Shelley<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cIn terms of budgeting I should have tried not to get so carried away in the couple of weeks before the wedding \u2014 it\u2019s so easy to! You\u2019ve done so well so don\u2019t spoil it with last minute expensive impulse buys!\u201d \u2013 Lintilla<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI would have listened when the dress designer told me how to attach the train to my dress. We spent 30 stressful minutes trying to work it out!\u201d \u2013 Jenni<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cIf we did it all again I might not have done so much ourselves, as although we had a lot of help, I organized everything pretty much from scratch and it did end up being more stressful for us.\u201d \u2013 Sarah<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cThe only thing we\u2019d change about the wedding was our DJ. The prices do reflect the quality, so if you think you\u2019re getting a really good, cheap deal \u2014 there might be a reason for that!\u201d \u2013 Esme<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cIf we could do it all again we\u2019d try harder to take it all in. It\u2019s a magical day, but very surreal and it\u2019s easy to get carried along and lose hours of time in what feels like minutes. I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s possible, but listen to people when they tell you to take a minute to savor it all!\u201d \u2013 Sophie<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI\u2019m glad we planned indoor activities. Even though we were lucky with the weather, it was less stressful knowing we had a back-up plan just in case.\u201d \u2013 Donna<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t think about a videographer until it was too late. I wish I had someone capturing the speeches!\u201d \u2013 Victoria<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI should have asked the photographers to stay longer so I had more shots of people dancing at the evening reception.\u201d \u2013 Karen<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cWe didn\u2019t assign seating and probably should have because everyone seemed reluctant to meet the other side of the family.\u201d \u2013 Jenny<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI would definitely remember to have some tissue ready on the top table \u2014 those speeches are going to make you cry!\u201d \u2013 Hannah<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nPosted in the Huffington Post on 7.11.2013<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
In sticking with last week, I am going to chat about things we can do at weddings to create a lasting value for ourselves. Last week, I had an article about the importance of a wedding album, and like I said, this one hits REALLY close to home.
