You Might Relate to These Points! What Did Experienced Brides Regret During Their Wedding Planning Period?

How to Avoid Regrets on Your Wedding Day...?

A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. No matter how thoroughly you prepare or how perfectly you coordinate, the more you delve into your wedding plans, the more you'll likely find yourself with some "wedding regrets."

However, you want to have a wonderful day with as few regrets as possible ♩ While there are many stories of regrets on the wedding day itself, what about the regrets from the preparation period shared by experienced brides?

The wedding day goes by in a flash, but the things that happen during the preparation phase can be adjusted starting today, which should lessen your regrets! This time, we’ll share tips for preparing for your wedding without regrets, based on the experiences of seasoned brides＊

Regret #1 from Experienced Brides: I Wish I Had Gathered More Information!

A common regret among brides during the preparation period is "I wish I had gathered more information." The preparation time is filled with so many things to consider! Even when you think you’ve gathered a lot of information, after the wedding, many brides reflect, "I should have gathered even more...".

Wedding information is abundant, with countless brides sharing their experiences every day＊ New items and cute ideas keep coming to light, so it’s easy to think, "I wish I had chosen that instead."

Therefore, to avoid regrets, gathering information is essential! It is important to collect a wealth of information and choose your favorite elements carefully♡ Nobody wants to regret what they didn't know...!

By the way, marry has nearly 6,000 articles, and it is updated daily, so even by reading 20 articles a day, you could explore different articles for a year and a half♡ Be sure to use it as a resource for collecting information about your wedding preparations♩

Regret #2 from Experienced Brides: I Was Too Focused on Saving Money!

The next regret is being overly focused on saving money. Weddings can be very expensive, costing millions of yen. Thus, it’s natural to feel the urge to "cut costs as much as possible."

However, there are so many regrets stemming from overzealous cost-cutting! Some brides regretted giving up their desired dress or performance, lowering the floral quality which affected photo appeal, not hiring a videographer, or not upgrading guest gifts or food and drink options...

It may seem like small sacrifices, but cutting corners in various areas can lead to diminished satisfaction for both the bride and the guests. Balancing your wedding preparations while considering your and your guests' satisfaction would be ideal♩

Regret #3 from Experienced Brides: I Didn’t Consider Future Expenses!

Some brides regret not thinking about future financial matters while focusing solely on the wedding itself. The cost of the wedding makes up a significant portion of the wedding expenses, often overshadowing other financial considerations.

Yet after the wedding, things like the honeymoon, new life expenses, and wedding gift returns can become costly…!

Therefore, planning for future expenses should not be neglected during the wedding prep period. It would be sad to start your new life together on a tight budget.

Your life together really begins with the wedding♡ Approach your wedding preparations with planning and foresight♩

Regret #4 from Experienced Brides: I Wish I Had Done a Pre-Shoot!

A common regret is wishing they had done a pre-shoot. Brides who think they don't need it because they won’t use the photos for paper items or think it can be done later need to be cautious!

Post-shoots can become surprisingly cumbersome after the wedding. While it's great to have the determination to do a post-shoot, many brides who think, "I’ll just do it later," often end up never doing it.

Pre-shoots come with a deadline since you need to do them before the wedding, but post-shoots have no such time limit, making it harder to schedule. Additionally, merging finances can make spending feel awkward. When budgets combine, it could become uncomfortable when one wants to splurge, yet feels guilty asking their partner to contribute, leading many brides to ultimately not do a post-shoot.

Therefore, if you want to take additional photos beyond the wedding, it’s advisable to plan for a “pre-shoot” during the wedding preparation period♩

Regret #5 from Experienced Brides: I Didn’t Consider the Honeymoon!

Many brides head straight for their honeymoon right after the wedding ♩ However, some of them regret not thinking about the honeymoon while focused solely on the wedding plans.

Honeymoon planning often takes a backseat. Some brides completely delegate their honeymoon arrangements to a travel agency without any research on their own.

While a trip together is enjoyable on its own, many brides later feel they should have researched for better restaurants to try, places to visit, prepared honeymoon props, or checked their packing lists more thoroughly… and end up regretting it.

It’s definitely challenging to plan a honeymoon simultaneously with wedding preparations, but if you’re heading on a honeymoon directly after the wedding, please keep it in mind♩

Regret #6 from Experienced Brides: I Wish I Had Connected More with Other Brides!

Not connecting with other brides is also a common regret during wedding preparations. The period as a bride-to-be allows for unique interactions only possible during this time.

Having fellow brides to share experiences with can turn the preparation process into a more enriching experience◎ Many brides maintain friendships with those they met during this time even after the wedding ♡

Brides who didn’t create these connections often feel envious, thinking, “I should have made bride friends…” Even if you don’t attend large bride gatherings, simply deepening connections with other brides on Instagram can make wedding preparations more enjoyable♩

You can connect with other brides-to-be on marry, so do take advantage of this♡
