different flavor of the cake?

different bridesmaids colors (or different bridesmaids)

spent more money on something?

spend less money on something?

whatever it is i want to hear it :)

my friend recently got married and she wished she had gone a little lighter on the makeup. she looked amazing but she got her makeup done by a MAC artist and she felt it was toooo dramatic and club-ish and she felt kinda like a p**n star as opposed to a glowing bride.. she'd go easy on the black liquid eyeliner, fake lashes and eye glitter (yes there was glitter haha)

Answer 1

I know this will sound like a smart-*ss answer, but I wouldn't have gotten married!...I had a "shot-gun" wedding in my apartment (planned in 48 hrs.), no family there, and my fiance had actually threatened to leave if I didn't marry him! - God, I was STUPID!

So, if I ever marry again, it'll be because we BOTH want to be together for life, there will be no "half-*ss" wedding in 2 days, and MY family will be there to join in the celebration. - Or, I'll think about a romantic getaway and elope! (Save the money on all the "hoopla" and opt for a dream honeymoon instead! ;))

Answer 2

Well I dont get married until the 30th but I would have picked a different MOH, one that wanted to go look at dresses with me and help me pick out some stuff for the reception, and maybe plan the shower and bachelorette party.  

Answer 3

I would have gone to Vegas. Only been me and him.  

Answer 4

It would have been free! hahahaha Seriously, though, no, I wouldn't have changed a single thing. I loved every second of it.

Answer 5

Different Groom.

Answer 6

I did my wedding just about as perfect as possible.  My husband and I talked about it at our 1 yr anniversary.  If we'd had more money, there still isn't anything we would have changed.  It was exactly what we wanted.

The only thing that gave me any degree of stress was bridesmaids that I thought were my friends.  I had a bridesmaid that I thought of as a sister.  We met freshmen yr in college, had been super close, and even had the same last name.  Every one at the school thought we were sisters.  I later found out she resented me and was trying to destroy my wedding day.  She tried it all (I bought the dress for her, helped her with airfare, found a place to stay, a seamstress, a person willing to drive her around town so she wouldn't have to rent a car, this list goes on and on) before I eventually had to kick her out of my wedding.

I felt so terrible.  I hated having to kick her out.  Then I found out she was gloating about making me so miserable and managing to not get me to break until 2 wks before the wedding.

But I had another friend that I asked to be a bridesmaid.  The dress fit her perfectly, she was so helpful, we are still close today.  I was glad that I had kicked her out and replaced her with a true friend.

I did most of it myself.  I arranged the centerpieces that morning.  I did my own makeup.  My photographer suggested to go light on the fake tan and makeup.  Most brides overdo it like they are on stage and it ruins the pictures.  The only thing I'd change is my mother.  She was so stressed she made herself late.  I was ready and no one else was ready to go to the church.  I had to call my aunt and get her to come pick me up for pictures.  My mother was so stressed that she looks furious in all the pictures.  There are only about 2 decent pictures of her from the thousand taken.  She kept waiting for something horrible to happen.  But if I had it to do all over again, I don't know if I could have made her less stressed.

As far as the cake, the bridesmaids colors, or money, it all looked perfect.  The bridesmaids looked gorgeous and the wedding theme suited us to a tee.  His family still talks about what an awesome time they had.  Everyone danced and stayed late talking.  Even my grandparents were there til after midnight.  It was everything we wanted.

Answer 7

I would have had one less bridesmaid, and I would have changed my colors, wouldn't have bought in to the 'pastels for Spring' stuff. Other than that I would have barred anyone from allowing my MIL to have a camera!

Answer 8

Honestly, I would have skipped the stupid wedding favors altogether.  My mom and I spent hours making them, and almost no one even acknowledged them, let alone took them home.

I also half wish I could have had the dress I fell in love with like 25 years ago, when I was a teenager dreaming about dresses all the time.  I actually found a dress I LOVED for $125, and I would still have worn it if I could have found it.  Oh, if only I could have bought that dress then and kept it....

Answer 9

The bride, I would have never said "I Do" to the whoring ****.  

Answer 10

I wouldn't have got married.

Answer 11

I would have printed the pictures I took of my wedding dress pics ( back in 03 when I got married vs. now)  and probably would have chosen one of the other dresses.  

Answer 12

I wouldn't have stressed so much and taken it out on my husband! =) and I would've listened more to what he wanted.. because turns out he had suggested a few songs that I had shut down because he kept changing his mind and we were running out of time but now that I listen to them I realize how perfect they would have been!

I was planning a wedding in 1 month while my husband was stationed like 5 states away, so I was stressing doing it all by myself.. he was on leave only 8 days before the big day! and had to leave again 6 days later. I wouldn't have changed that though because it was the only time to do it before his next station to south korea!

I would've liked more time to plan though!! If only he would've asked me sooner!! haha

If we had more time we would've had more money to spend on the food, that's probably the only other thing I would like to change was the reception food. We had awesome dessert!! but the food was only okay.

Anyway, I don't think I would go back and change it because the day was beautiful... and all that really matters is the vows you exchange, that's what the whole wedding is all about! and that day was just amazing.. becoming Mrs. It was the best day of my life to make that leap with my husband.

Answer 13

mmmm probably the bride.....get another one...lol

Answer 14

Everything was wonderful, but if there had been more money, a live band would have been wonderful.

LOL about the makeup - that's why I did my own!

Oh, and my glasses broke that morning -- so I would definitely made sure I had backups!
