QOTD 8/29 (I mean 8/28)

minionlover

What is something that you bought for the wedding that you wish you hadn't?

kd1986

My veil!  I bought it last November at a veil trunk show, and have since seen so many others I would have rather gotten.  Fortunately, it's getting altered to what I'd like - hope it turns out!

trawas01

Is there where I put that I wish we'd just eloped?


lol

jessiflower

My veil...if anyone needs one...send me a message.  I love it...it just doesn't go with my dress.  Its shoulder length and 2 teir.  has satin trim on the edge and the crystals...I love it...like I said...it just doesnt go...........oh...and I bought a longline bra off e-bay...doesn't fit...I really kicked myself about that.....

My jewelry (both sets). I don't like either with my dress and now I'm trying to find new jewelry. Ah!

achiduck

I guess my veil, I'm not going to wear it but i knew that was a possibility when I bought it, which is why I only spent $25.

I guess I kind of wish we had invited less people.

I did a hair and MU trial with someone I shouldn't have.  She turned me into a frizzy haired orange person.

Also isn't is 8-28 today?

I bought fancy paper to put on the back of a display board for our escort cards, but then decided to just put them down on a table instead. Now hopefully we'll use it to wrap up our wedding party presents, but who knows.

yes it...exactly 2 months until my wedding:D
i bought a thick, printed cardstock to make a paper heart chain but never got around to it.  and the chain looked awful when i started so i never finished.  i also wish we eloped/invited less people!

schnugglebug

Centerpieces...
I like them,,, but now have other ideas on what we could have done... but we have them already... so well I suppose we should use them lol

hllokttygirl

Hmmmmm nothing really. Though I do agree with trawas01 about the eloping thing. I sometimes think we should've just ran off to Vegas.

mrshall1027

My invitations.  I love the way they came out, but I spent so much more on them then I thought I would have.  I wish I would have just found a set of printable ones from Hobby Lobby or something and saved the time and the money it took to put them all together.

Oh, and I also wish we would have just eloped.

amandaorgan

My veil. I bought it from Ebay, and it is very pretty, but it is two-tiered elbow lenghth and I just dont like the way it looks - too poufy. So I'm on the hunt for a longer veil and to sell the one I have!

ericaandtom2012

My invitations.  I love them, but the postage is so damn expensive ($1.10 per).  I really wish I had double checked the size limits for a letter.

LDubHawksFan

At this point I wish I would have gotten a different dress since, you know, I still don't have it!!  I like my veil, but I don't know if it matches because I don't have my dress, so I hope I don't regret buying it in the little time we have left.

I like how our centerpieces are going to look, but there is a big part of me that wishes I would have just paid the little bit more to get standard floral arrangements.  Then I wouldn't have a bunch of work to do now, and have more room in our spare room.

Last would probably be thinking about our venue a little more.  I LOVE it, but I'm worried about pricing and I think we missed our opportunity to negotiate with them at all, so I think we will be realizing how much they will nickle and dime us.

The giant bird cage for cards. I found it at an antique store and it's really beautiful but it's HUGE and is taking up a ton of room in our house and I'm not sure if I'll even be able to sell it after the wedding (and it was expensive!)

brainybrunette

My shoes!  They've been nothing put problems!  First, the wrong size was ordered and they were too small.  The bridal shop was great about taking them back and ordering a 1/2 size larger.  The larger size comes in and now they're too big!  I had to put all of these Dr. Scholl's things in to make them fit!  They are such a mess!  I spent more than I originally wanted to on them too!

ivedonethisb4

I have 0 buyers remorse. I HAD buyers remorse about my shoes when I thought I couldn't wear them cuz my dress was too short but that problem is fixed now so I'm good! I sometimes wish we'd skipped the whole big wedding thing but I know if I did I'd regret that so..here we are!

abricadabra

Honestly, the only thing that comes to mind is the first set of chair sashes I bought. Organza. I got them used for super cheap from a sweet lady, but I ended up changing my mind and ordered satin ones a few weeks later! Now I just have to stop procrastinating and put them on the classified boards and ship them to another bride...

islandmonkey8

I love my venue to bits - I just wish maybe we looked a little more for somewhere more affordable that we could have invited more people.

I picked my BP too soon. Wishing lately I just picked my two best friends as my ladies instead of my two sisters plus FI's sister plus my two best friends. Especially since I then left obligated to make my sisters MOH and they have done nothing but stress me out about everything.

CarolineandDean

I bought my favors way too early.  We're having koozies that say "Eat. Drink. Be Married".  When we originally started planning, our colors were plum and burgandy, which are the colors I bought the koozies in.  Halfway through, I changed our colors to plum and charcoal.  We'll still have some burgandy accents, and it is a somewhat Fall theme, so it will be alright...just wish I had waited a couple of months.

mmmendi

No purchases, but I should have been more diligent to 'help' FI manage saving for the HM

jenny&will2014

I agree with previous person who said favors! i bought them way too early and am not happy with them anymore but don't have the money to get different ones!

mbuckley85

I really don't have much I would do different.  I wish FI and I were getting married in my church, kind of, instead of the place where the reception is, but I also don't wish for the controversy that would have caused with his family.  It is hard enough for them to understand that we are having a Catholic ceremony with a deacon!

Also, I would have cut the guest list by 20-30 people or so.  I am worried we will be tight in our space since we haven't barely gotten any declines!

snuff9861

Nothing really. I sometimes wished we eloped too and saved a ton of money, but other then that everything I bought I will be using.

Ividian

I don't think there's anything I've purchased I wish I hadn't. Of course there are quite a few things that I really need to purchase-and I'm a little freaked out about how close we are now!

pengy16

I wish i would have waited to buy my accessories for hair. I purchased a tiara from DB, if i had known i could find something else less expensive i would have waited. Also when i looked back at the pics i liked the idea of the flower in my hair so i picked up one from claires and now i have to decide what i really want in my hair. Also i want a half updo so i might be changing my accessory again to put a comb into the half up part. I am not wearing a veil so i dont have to worry about that.
