Post Wedding Wisdom - OM's pls comment

This is a great idea ? Thanks for the advice x

Definite words of wisdom there. I would also recommend taking 5 minutes by yourself before you leave for the ceremony (or just with your mum/dad/best friend) to take in what is happening and how happy you are.

Cheers Ashlil, think you have just answered my question about the table swags.....not bother! ?

I think I will think of more over the next day or so.

but in the month before I was looking at disposable cameras, CDs, plantable seed favours, table runners, swags... more chocolate and sweets etc and it would have been a complete waste of money.

I would really say - plough your money into the important things like the catering/eve entertainment if you are having something, your outfits - everything else is not important

I completely agree with ashlil, especially about the little things not mattering. Like any b2b I was fretting over the minutist details and spent ages trying to make decisions, but on the day NONE OF IT MATTERED ONE BIT. My dress got filthy, it rained a bit, my hair didn't look great amongst other things but I couldn't have cared less! When I read the posts of other b2b's fretting over which favour, colour scheme, whether to have this or that, I smile inwardly and remember that I was the same, but I know not to say anything as everyone stresses about things don't they, it's all part of the process. The moral of this story is, please don't get upset if things go wrong or not quite as planned. It's likely the only person to notice will be you. Honestly.

Totally agree

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking about disposable cameras and table decors for evening reception. Its the cost of all the little things that add up.

Thank you for these words. As the laziest bride to be, I sometimes think i should be planning to do a few more 'things' for my day, but whilst part of me IS lazy, the other part just wants good food, wine and company, so you have really reassured me that the only person who will notice the balloons, favours, glitter, flowers, crystals etc would be me anyway, ah back to the sofa!

It sounds like you really enjoyed your day too, which is the most important thing after all
