Just so you all know, none the dresses you see is the one I chose for the day. 🙈♥️
Where in Topanga canyon please? My daughter is getting married in a couple of years and this sounds like one thing she is looking for.
Hi Carrie, Your wedding day will fly by- everyone said it goes so fast. I understand what they all meant now looking back, I wish I took more time to soak it all in. If only time would slow down!! Advice I was given before my wedding day was - on the day of your wedding take a minute to yourself, without anyone around, totally alone and look at yourself in the mirror, as a bride in your wedding dress and absorb it in. It’s a moment in life that is treasured, special, all of the above, and deserves a pause through the busy day just for you. I know it sounds silly (I slightly thought so when advised) I know understand how important it was. Congratulations to you both. You’ll be the most gorgeous bride!
This is such great advice, wow. I will make sure to do this on the day. Thanks so much!
Congrats Carrie ! and congrats to everyone here who is getting married this year!!! sending love !!
Thank you Erika!! So sweet!! 💕💕
My advice is, when it’s all said and done, the venue, dress, food, music isn’t what’s most important. It will be the faces of the people you both love making the effort to be there to celebrate your love. And that much love will carry you and Alex through the good and bad days. Im so happy for you both! 🥰
“Limit your options”
So true... I found a dress that I loved and that was inexpensive early on and I know it wouldn’t have been nearly as easy if I had more options... I haven’t gotten married yet (still 9 months away) and I absolutely can not allow myself to look at any more dresses because I know I’ll start to second guess and stress myself
I’ve never dreamed of a wedding, either. I imagine my future partner and I eloping then throwing a non-wedding party to celebrate with friends when we get back or maybe doing a more informal surprise wedding at an engagement party we throw. Nice to hear your thoughts on this and while I still don’t desire one, I’ll keep an open mind to the wedding idea. (Still looking for the guy, lol)
I'm not planning a wedding, but I'm still taking mental notes for the future!! I love how the process has been collaborative for you two as a couple...so often it falls just onto the woman but it's an important event for both people!!
Yes! Me too! This is the only way I think I would be happy to go through the process. I feel like it would be so difficult to do alone.
I am so passionate about all the things Carrie said in this video! We had a year long engagement, and 1 week before the wedding we had to completely change our venue. With only 1 week left, we decided not to spoil the exciting week ahead with worrying about relocating, but to be excited about the new opportunity to change plans. Don't be afraid to simplify is my biggest piece of advice. 🥰
Thank you for being honest about those feelings. I’m going through those same up and downs of emotions. And it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. This was so helpful. Thank you!
I love these tips! I tell my clients things like this all the time! I love that you are keeping you and Alex at the center of this, as it should be. Wedding planning is overwhelming and I think you are doing such a great job navigating everything.
I have been waiting for this video! Thank you so much for sharing Carrie. We share a lot of the same views on wedding planning and it’s so nice to feel validated in that sense. I hope you make more wedding related videos!
Hi, I am getting married in three weeks! My fiancé and I went through the same thought process when planning our wedding as you and Alex. I’ve never imagined my wedding and we were planning on a small ceremony followed by an untraditional party but changed our minds quickly. I agree with all the points you have here. I would also add that it helps to not be too set on one thing as it might not work out that once you start planning. It’s been the opposite for us but a friend of mine has had real trouble with bridal party size because her and her fiancé imagined totally different and specific things. It can also be hard if the thing you really want is out of budget! Good luck for the rest of your planning.
Love this so much! You had a really great mindset and I 10000% agree (as a wedding vendor and person) that the couple planning shouldn't worry too much about what others think. That's the number one thing I try to impart to my couples. Adding this to my wedding planning playlist for couples planning weddings. Thanks so much for sharing your journey! I subscribed and can't wait to watch more!
I would LOVE more wedding videos!!! On tips or ideas or anything along those lines.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO 😍
Thank you so much Carrie! I’m currently planning my wedding and am going through the same emotions as what you’ve said. It’s really put my mind at ease to know that I’m not the only one. Thank you for your advise and I wish you and your fiancé all the best for your future together.
Thank you for this video, Carrie! Planning a wedding during this time of Covid is stressful, and I need all the help I can get!
Finally someone with the same mindset! Looking forward to following your journey 💜
I use to make wedding bouquets and one girls attitude to suggestions was a breath of fresh air everyone that offered up a suggestion she said what a wonderful idea thank you for that i will most definitely look into that. which didn't upset any one
I found the tip to create a mood board in the pages app SOOOOOOOO helpful. I'm such a visual person and never thought to do this. Thank-you!
I'm getting married in October and I'm so excited yet so overwhelmed with everything wedding related! I love the tips you gave, more wedding videos please!
You got it!!! 🥂♥️
Getting married in October too! Can’t believe its already 8 months away!
Me too..
How did the wedding go? 🥳
I love this so much! I am a UK wedding planner and looove hearing everyone's stories!
SO helpful, thank you!
I NEED these videos!! First off, CONGRATULATIONS!! I just recently got engaged myself and we JUST picked a venue but I have to say it has been QUITE STRESSFUL!
I hope this video helps!! Congrats to you TOO!!!!
You are the most beautiful soul & so excited for what's to come with your & Alex's next chapter in life!
Definitely one of the best videos I have watched so far !
I’m beginning to plan my wedding for next year, and hearing your advice is so helpful, thank you!!! 💕
Same here! Congratulations!!
LOL hearing about how you originally wanted to elope and then changed your perspective is 10/10 me. Some parts of me still wish we’d eloped BUT I know having all of our loved ones celebrating with us will be priceless and something we’ll be able to cherish for the rest of our lives.
Hahah glad other people feel me on this!
I always went through waves whether or not I wanted a wedding. It wasn't until I met my boyfriend that I realized the meaning of a wedding and now I definitely want one. Fun, relaxed, and a celebration of love.
Congrats Carrie, you're going to be a beautiful bride! :)
This video is so relatable right now. We're getting married next year and slowly started planning and as much as it excites me it freaks me out at the same time. First of all weddings are sooooooooooooo expensive. Then there's the whole logistics like you said. My fiance and I are just back and forth between eloping or throwing a big party. 😆😆 But the good thing is we are true partners and can be honest with each other.😍
i love this and think that having communication but not letting the planning consume you all the time is such a good tip! ❤️
Very good tip!!!
That wasn’t highlighted one of mine by should have been!!
Congrats carrie. So these were awesome tips ❤️ I’m in the midst of wedding planning and I feel a little overwhelmed
Realllly love these tips. Thank you for making this video!
Yay! So glad you love these tips!! :)
Congratulations you two. Great news. November 2019, we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. Nothing is better than falling in love with and marrying your best friend. Cheers!
We had about a year to plan our wedding too. But more intense planing and organising stuff started when it was 10 months left. All works out fine so far... my wed on April 2020! I m extra excited ;)
Great story about your engagement ♡
hey! I am not sure when I will have my own wedding, but thanks for sharing so candidly on your wedding planning process. I do feel I want to have a partner that is as committed into the wedding, but yet we still get to talk about the future together. I feel like it's easy to get lost in the wedding planning maze. For my wedding, I would also very much prefer to have a few good choices and make a wise decision and be over it. I also prefer to be able to be quite mindful about it. I hope that when its my turn to have my wedding, I will take the time to soak it all in and just rest and be grateful to all the things that had been put into thought, discussed, planned and done.
Thank this video was helpful. It’s comforting that I am not the only women that hasn’t daydream about wedding all her lives.
Congrats Carrie!!! I've been engaged for three years and we just decided on our date. And so far planning is at a standstill until further notice I'm sad. I hope your wedding is still going on as planned despite what's going on right now in the world
I just got engaged January 28th and Im so thankful this video popped up on my feed because I needed to hear a lot of the things you said and needless to say I subscribed at the end.😁 Wedding planning has been a very easy process so far. I found our ceremony venue the same night and a lot of the things have fallen in place but just the same the anxiety got to me once in the days leading up to booking it because I was petrified that someone would take the opening I wanted lol. The only real planning I have left for the wedding itself is my florals and some smaller details. Today my other big stressor was answered when a family friend who married my sister and that also works with my fiance agreed to officiate. Now Its just the reception to go and I have 474 days to the big day so my stress is gone for the moment and Im just gonna breathe the next couple months and If I do anything towards the wedding its gonna be a little here a little there. 😊🤵👰💐
So weird I’m getting married 4 months today!! Our dates must be very close. Such helpful advice!! 💕congrats xxxx
This video has helped me so much just emotionally because I have been so overwhelmed lately and I’ve only been planning my wedding for 2 weeks 😭
I’m starting my planning now too!!
I’m getting married in July, and this was super helpful! I am in the same boat with always thinking I would just elope, but my fiancé wanted to be traditional- but I am the planner in the relationship, so it’s been a bit overwhelming doing a lot of it on my own. I’m working hard to turn it into MY day, and I’ve had to learn to be honest with a lot of people who give that unsolicited advice. The stress dreams are coming a lot, both to me and my fiancé. I know that it will all turn out well, but it’s hard to not get anxious! I just started working with an older friend who has done wedding planning before, so I already feel a huge sigh of relief.
Good luck!!
Abbie Witmer same here, girl! July brides!!! ☀️
Congrats! I am so excited to see more!!!
yayyyy!! so glad you're excited
Excellent advice. Also, if finances allow, hire a wedding planner for the last 4-6 weeks to make sure everything is under control ( ie: photographer, DJ, deliveries from florist, caterer.....) and the planner will follow through with details. On the day of the wedding, they will handle any issues and allow you to focus on just your wedding day stress free. It was a great !
My wedding is in September this year 😊 Our venue was the first thing we booked too 👍🏽 I have been struggling with family opinions, so I'm really glad you said to just let them go!
Ya, people will give their opinion no matter what and sometimes they have good thoughts but most of the time we just have to go with what we want!
Hi Carrie, I'm so excited about the video. I love love 😍
Yay! So glad you’re excited to watch! ♥️
Thanks for this. I feel like no one wants to talk about it because it won't be about them. Iv'e felt so stressed lately that I needed to hear from someone else or talk to someone about it. Between dealing with a father and a step father and all the little details to keep track of, I feel like crying and wanting it to all be over. my wedding is in 11 days
Congratulations!!! Can be such a stressful time but its so worth it
I definitely want a wedding and have little ideas, none of which are like big prestigious plans. Mainly, I would love a Chinese buffet as my meal in the evening and I'd love to have fire pits outside with blankets for us to sit round and chat about the day. I want it really intimate and small with only super close people in our lives there to celebrate.
More of this pleaaaaase😊❤️
I'm not sure if I should make wedding content. I'm getting married next yr this is so helpful
More wedding videos please! This is making me so excited for when my girlfriend and I get to this point 💕
Ahhh Ashley!! So fun to dream up! I’ll put together more videos!
Congratulations! I'm planning my wedding as well. My husband and I got married in court on June 5th, 2019. We got married first to move in together and to start saving up for our destination wedding in Hawaii on June 5th, 2021. We decided to do it in Hawaii since he grew up there and still has family living there. I just started researching and talking to vendors this month. I have 16 months until the wedding day. I already know who my photographer, videographer, month/day of coordinator will be. We just need to book our venue at 12 months. :)
Destination weddings are so perfect!
How did your wedding go?
The video was so helpful to me u answered some questions I had in mind thanks hips
Getting married in October, my planning process has been so stressful and overwhelming but there are some moments like picking out my wedding dress that were so nice and special. It really is just a rollercoaster of emotions and sometimes overwhelming stress but I know that at the end I’ll be married to the love of my life.
Yes you will change almost everything over the course of planning your .give yourself enough time
Would love to see a wedding dress video!
I’m getting married next October in 2021 :3 I’m excited thank you for the advice it was helpful
Im getting married in september. Honestly get it so much people asking me to have this or that cause they chose it for there wedding. So difficult sometimes. I will defiantly try meditation. Also important to not let it take over.. as you said to think about other things rather the wedding. I never thought about getting married. It is very important to share it tho with loved ones. My biggest worry atm is making sure it falls into place. I want decorations but it can make it difficult when your venue says you cant hang stuff with bluetac and seeing the decorations come to life. Saw the venue today, so hopefully it will help me see better. X
This is a great video thanks for sharing this :)
November 19th is my birthday!! Lol I'm planning for our September wedding and I keep getting this feeling like I'm forgetting stuff. Like I'm running out of things to plan because I'm enjoying the process so much!❤️
Definitely enjoy the process, it's all worth it in the end!
Hi Carrie, am glad I came across your video. It's really nice as am planning my wedding and I would really appreciated
if you could tell me the name of the wedding dresses in this videos as I think my dress is in there waiting for me lol my kind of dresses to be honest. love you tons am a subscriber now xx
Finally!!!!! Wedding stuff! 🤣❤
Love you both and, of course, Lanka! 😘
Yay! So glad you’re excited for wedding stuff!!
@@CarrieRad I've been waiting for you to talk about your wedding since watching your proposal video! I also really loved the video about relationship advice you did with Alex. Looking forward to more of that! ❤
We are excited to make more videos like that one! Glad you loved it!!
You can wear gowns at new years and other formal occasions. Make sure your wedding dress is a ball gown or your groom will be bored.
Choose different styles of dropped waist or high waist and a variety of neck lines, but make sure its a ballgown.
Choose from different types of fabrics, lace, satin or taffeta but make sure its a full gown or your groom will be bored.
Choose one that is short in the front with a long train but make sure its a wedding gown.
My friend and her boyfriend are planning to get married not too long after she graduates, and she asked me to help plan it, so I'm surfing UA-cam to find videos to help me
I’m sure all your subscribers really appreciated this!!! How’d you choose your photographer and videographer?
My name is Caire too and I’m currently trying to plan for my wedding ❤️
June 2020 here!
Same girl. I decided we should do a wedding. It will still be around 50 people and sweet. It's been a bit fun doing all the pieces. Never thought I'd be married ever
I ran off and got married. I’m really happy with that choice. Are you still using a part time wedding planner? You didn’t mention her so I was just curious.
Yay! Finally wedding stuff! I’m getting married in 2021. I’m curious if there are any books or apps you’ve found helpful in your process? I’m currently using the Knot to keep me on pace, but open to suggestions.
I’m also planning a wedding for 2021 and I am finding the Knot really helpful, as well as Zola! Congrats!
Same x
i’m never getting married but i’m watching the whole thing lol
never say never... (yap this comment had to be said 😀)
My husband and I got married in a park near our home with just our close family as guests. My dress was a white lace summer dress I got on clearance for $30. My novice photographer brother took my photos. Weddings are whatever you make of them - just make sure it’s what you want. The only regret I have was not getting our backyard reception catered.
This is awesome. You're so right about doing exactly what you want. You saved SO MUCH money!
❤Congrats Carrie❤
Thank you Adelaide!!!
Im getting married in june! 😄 My one year engagement anniversary was back in January lol. I total get you with the planning Ill get stressed out in a month then later on i get exited! Congratulations girly! 💕💕💕

@@XxSuingxX June 12th! How is wedding planning going? And I definitely get what you are saying about being stressed one minute and then excited the next! What is your wedding date, Erica?
Amazinggg
Carrie, i need some help 😅
me and my boyfriend are going to get married this summer (we are going to register our marriage). we won’t have a wedding, we thought that we would do it next year 😅 because for now we are students, we cannot afford a wedding. but i am scared what would my parents say. because my boyfriend didn’t “properly” proposed to me. we just planned that we are going to get married, to continue as married couple. what should i do with my parents? what should i say to them?
p.s. hope your wedding will be one of the best days of your life and you guys will be happy for the rest of your lives ❤️
Are u getting married ay the 1909? I just visited the venue and loved it, and the owner was amazing
Honestly eloping is where it’s at. My husband and I eloped and saved the money for two different trips. One was right after we got married and we did a week trip between Seattle and Portland and it was amazing. Then after our second anniversary we went to Europe and went to 9 countries in 16 days. It was amazing and life changing. We don’t think getting married is an accomplishment, we think staying married is an accomplishment. So we’re going to do a huge party in a few years and do a vow renewal. With our kids (we’re a blended family with 6 kids) we’re going to say “you can have 3000$. You can either use that as a drop in a bucket for a wedding, or take an AMAZING international trip”. I think everyone should do what they want and what they can afford, but our society’s expectations of weddings are so skewed.
Omg, I am also looking at the place in Topanga Canyon for 2021! I absolutely love it, but I’m going to keep looking a little more to appease some people 🙄
Oh, cool, you got engaged on my birthday!
Getting married in less than 5 weeks 😍
I got engaged sep 2019 and I been so into planning my wedding I have a year left of planning and my emotions are a roller coaster how do u deal w that?
Yaaas sooo true same roller coaster here. Prayer has helped me and confiding in your bestest person (the bestie who lifts you up and doesn't judge and who is positive) focus on your day and be positive. It also helped us to start changing pronouns to US, WE, OUR wedding. Many blessing and congrats! 💕 (We got engaged Dec 2018 and will marry fall2020.)

Hay

Def eloping

Getting married in 2022 and this had been stressful planning
I am thirteen and I dream about a dream wedding
Hi
hiiiii
Nice video
okay but what if i’m planning me and my boyfriends wedding and he doesn’t know.....
a lot of you are in the process,, ummh yeah being single and young asf and watching a marathon of SYTTD now UA-cam thinks I'm about to get married lol
you got engaged two days after me!
I thought all women fantasized about their wedding day but I was wrong! Nothing right with that. What matters is *actually* planning the real wedding instead of the fantasy one LOL
I’m newly engaged and so stressed out already 😫
I got engaged on nov 22 19
I got engaged November 30th 😁😁 it is kinda stressful but I’ve been having so much fun planning.
Absolutely hating the planning process.
