S/O from Re-do Wedding

kjhharris · June 2011

So the re-doing your wedding post made me think... is there any nit-picky detail from your wedding that you obsess over? The kind where NO ONE else would ever notice, but you think about it from time to time?

My completely neurotic one is that my manicure had a pink polish over the nail bed that didn't work with my skin tone, especially when I was cold (and my hand would lose a lot of its rosy color), so looked kinda weird in my head.

I had my hairdresser come to the reception venue to put my hair up after the ceremony before the reception. My neurotic thing is that she put the hair comb in upside down. I never even noticed until I saw pictures but it bugs me even though I know that no one there noticed.

Our day was perfect. It really was. But there was one small thing that went awry that bugged me for a bit. I had handmade all of our centerpieces. Half of them were ivory carnation pomanders on cylinder vases and the other half were black feather pomanders on cylinder vases. They were all supposed to have clear water pearls in the bottom with an LED floralyte to illuminate them.

Well, I bought 2 boxes of the floralytes and only opened and tested one box because I assumed they were the same. Lo and behold, one whole box was a dud, so half of my centerpieces were not lit up. My friend send her poor husband out to the store to buy special batteries and they still didn't work. No one was the wiser, but I was annoyed for about 2.5 seconds. Then I realized they were still beautiful and I was marrying my best friend.

I had a small diamond heart neckalce that my grandmother left me when she passed away that I wore as my 'something old'...in almost all of the pictures that we took after the ceremony, the heart pendant is wayyy off center, like half way to my shoulder off center. A good photographer would have noticed this, alas, mine did not and my sideways necklace is in most of our formal pictures.

Luckily, I noticed it right before the reception and fearing it would keep moving, I took it off, so at least some of our pictures don't have a sideways necklace in them.

We had pipe and drape behind the arch we had our ceremony in front of. I didn't look at it prior to the ceremony (and probably wouldn't have noticed it at the time) but I hate the way it stuck out of the sides at the top. You can see it here (sorry the picture is huge):

I also regret not having them open the windows behind this picture. The weather was about as perfect as Houston weather gets once the sun went down.

My only thing was I last minute pulled a bunch of old books to stack under my centerpieces to give a little bit of height and my cousin and sister took over the project from me (because I was supposed to be eating, resting, getting ready, being the bride?) and I noticed later that they had pulled some books that didn't really fit in the old, pretty antique look of the rest. It annoyed me for like 5 seconds and then I shrugged it off.

This wasn't something I noticed the day of, but we forgot to use the champagne flutes I had embellished for our toasts, so we just had the same plastic clear cups all the guests had. But we didn't even notice until we were looking at some of the pictures on our honeymoon so it obviously wasn't a bit deal that day

We forgot to fluff my dress after I put it on, so it didn't hang right. I get upset about it every time I look at my pictures, but I'm sure no one noticed.

As I mentioned in the other post, I'm really annoyed that I don't have any good pictures of me with my dress down.

I wish we had spent a little more time on cute staged romantic pictures between the ceremony and reception.
I held my bouquet too high in most photos.
And when my dress was bustled it poked out on one side. I did not notice until the pictures.
I wish I had remembered to get the photo of the placement of flowers on the cake to my MIL that was doing this for me. It looked a little more plain than I had envisioned.
DH never got to taste one of the cake layers.
When I did the trail for my hair it was damp and held better that the day of the wedding. I had told the hairdresser that my hair does better when damp. So the curls fell out during the day and were not as nice as they should have been.
I wish I had moved the pumpkin out of the background of my pictures. it did not match my colors or theme.
If I had known his cousins kids better I would have had one as a flower girl. She was so cute at the reception putting jordan almonds back in the jodan almond flower favors that people had eaten.
And it would have been nice if I had not missplaced the keys to the truck for our departure.
