Wedding days are supposed to be the happiest days of our lives, right? Well, not always. Sometimes, as our experts at Divine Floral have learned through many discussions with brides, things don't go as planned, and brides are left with a few regrets. Let's take a look at the top 5 regrets brides have about their big day, including the classic "not enough flowers" dilemma.
1. "Where Are All the Flowers?"
One of the biggest regrets brides have is not having enough flowers at their wedding. Whether it's the bouquet, the centerpieces, or the floral arrangements, brides often wish they had splurged a little more on blooms. And what if I had a flower wall for some of those photos? After all, flowers can really set the mood and make everything look more magical (and cover up any questionable decor choices). And, of course, we agree, "You can't have too many fowers." Go to DivineFloral.com and review our Wedding Gallery if you're still planning your wedding and don;t want to have this regret.
2. "Why Did I Choose That Dress?"
Another common regret is the wedding dress choice. Brides sometimes look back at their photos and wonder what they were thinking when they picked that particular gown. Maybe it was too trendy, too traditional, or just not flattering. Remember, fashion trends come and go, but those wedding photos are forever (unfortunately).We really can't help with this one, but we can make sure your flowers harmonize with whatever dress you choose.
3. "I Should Have Hired a Better Photographer"
Photos are the lasting memories of your special day, so it's no surprise that many brides regret not investing in a top-notch photographer. Blurry shots, awkward angles, and missed moments can't be undone. It's worth it to splurge on someone who can capture all the love and laughter (and hide those pre-ceremony jitters) (Divine Floral can suggest some good ones.)
4. "Why Didn't I Dance More?"
It's easy to get caught up in the stress and chaos of the day and forget to enjoy yourself. Many brides regret not letting loose and hitting the dance floor more. So what if you're not the best dancer? It's your day, and you should be having the time of your life (even if your moves are more dad dance than Beyoncé).
5. "I Wish I Had Eaten More Cake"
Lastly, many brides regret not indulging in more wedding cake. Between greeting guests, taking photos, and dancing the night away, it's easy to forget to actually sit down and enjoy a slice of that delicious cake you spent hours choosing. Remember, it's your day, so you deserve to have your cake and eat it too (even if you have to squeeze into that dress later).
So, if you're a bride-to-be, take note of these common regrets and make sure to avoid them on your special day. Talk to us, we can help. Remember, it's all about celebrating your love and having a good time, so don't sweat the small stuff (like that silly dance move).
