Post-First Wedding Thoughts
>> Friday, March 12, 2010
This past weekend was my first wedding--I am no longer a wedding planning virgin, and I feel GREAT!!
Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous, but anxiously waiting for the day to be over so I could reminisce on the day's events.
Thinking back, I can only name a few things that went awry:
- the bride's bustle fell, as anticipated, AND the pins bought for this accident were missing
- the flower tape and ribbon for the bouquets went missing (they were in the bag with the pins)
- the song list for the DJ had an abundance of uncensored music--so we had to make some quick changes to the list
- I forgot to do my hair--but a quick slap of water and moisturizer cured that ;-)
The wedding party was also a tremendous help, from decorating the night before the wedding, to helping clean up afterward, they were wonderful.
Somethings I learned:
- Nothing is going to go as planned: don't freak out--treat it as life!
- There are solutions to every problem around you--use your spontaneity to find them
- Don't forget to eat/drink beforehand--buy bottled water pre-event so that you're not dehydrated
- Remember business cards!!
- Your time line is going to be crushed to smithereens the moment your event starts--once again, treat it as life!
- Take pictures as the day goes on--it would be wonderful to look back on the different "phases" of the wedding
I have to thank Shalom & Ramon for allowing their wedding to be my first--you all are such great friends, and I cannot thank you enough for this opportunity!
Happy weekend,
Ivy
