Regrets of Brides at Weddings #1: Veil Up Caused a Lean Back

One bride reflects on how she leaned back while trying to lower herself for the veil up during the ceremony.

She thought she was carefully lowering herself straight, trying not to bend forward like a bird, but ended up leaning back instead.

It’s surprising how one’s posture can differ from what one imagines.

If you're worried, it might be a good idea to have your fiancé check your posture at home. Taking videos or pictures to see for yourself can also be effective◎

Regrets of Brides at Weddings #2: Items Were Upside Down

One bride regrets that the initial object "K" placed at the head table was upside down.

Because it was placed upside down, the unpainted bottom surface was visible, which bothered her a lot.

I also had an experience where the "K" was upside down during our pre-wedding photos, so it might be a common issue!

Initials like "K" and "H" tend to end up upside down, so a little caution is required. It would be wise to design it in a way that shows which way is up or to paint the bottom so that it’s not a problem if it gets flipped over.

Regrets of Brides at Weddings #3: Couldn't Focus on Cake Design

One bride was so overwhelmed by the busy preparations that she didn’t have time to carefully think about the wedding cake design.

She regrets just deciding on a design without much thought.

Wedding preparations can go by surprisingly quickly. It seems essential to start preparing early for what you want to focus on.

Regrets of Brides at Weddings #4: No Photos of the Head Table

One bride found that there were no overall photos of the head table in the wedding photographer's data.

While she hadn’t made a photo instruction sheet, she was shocked that there were no overall photos of the head table.

If there are specific items or decorations you want captured in your wedding, it may be a good idea to prepare an instruction sheet just in case◎

Regrets of Brides at Weddings #5: Forgot to Use Photo Props

One bride had handmade giant flowers but forgot to hold them for photos on the wedding day while in her dress.

Since it was an item she spent time DIYing, she felt particularly disappointed when she realized it!

Time flies on the wedding day. If you have things you want to do, it’s recommended to carry a checklist and also share it with the groom, bridal party, and photographer for extra peace of mind◎

Regrets of Brides at Weddings #6: Removed Camera Instructions

One bride placed instant cameras on guest tables, allowing guests to freely take photos.

To keep things looking simple, she removed the packaging, but then some guests were puzzled on how to use them, asking, "Where's the flash?", "There’s no instruction."

There are stories of flash not being on and therefore all the photos turning out dark, so it might be best to keep at least the part of the instructions attached!

Regrets of Brides at Weddings #7: Earrings Got Caught in Hair

Between the ceremony and reception, one bride did a quick outfit change. Her hair was styled in a large side bun, and she wore sparkly earrings.

However, there was a mishap! From the entrance to the cake cutting, her earrings were caught in the bun the whole time.

Since no one noticed, all the photos show her earrings stuck.

While typically, the bridal party or hairstylists will help watch for any hair or makeup issues, it seems necessary for brides who wear long earrings to be mindful themselves.
