This video was like an oasis in a desert of really high pressure wedding content on youtube. I have been feeling overwhelmed with my wedding planning. I needed this today.
Everyone keeps telling me to spend, spend, spend 😭 but the average wedding cost is more than the down payment on my house! I wanna have a great day, but I dont want to spend tens of thousands of dollars 😭😭
Oh yes definitely weddings are super expensive! That's the one thing people will encourage you to do is to spend a bunch of money because it's your special day. But I believe you can create a magical day without breaking your pocket.
It was really interesting for me to hear that a lot of the regrets were the “small touches” or little accessories! I think this can be so important to remember when you’re getting all swept up in the moment and the emotions! It’s easy to buy things because you feel like you need to! Thank you so much for sharing!
I definitely agree with that :) We tend to loose sight on the important things and then that's when we tend to start spending money on things that we really just don't need.
That’s one thing I haven’t heard in all the wedding planning videos I have watched is hair. Like, I didn’t even think about how your hair falls/gets out of place after dancing and sweating. That is a good tip! Getting a hair style that can either be fixed easily or won’t look weird when it becomes unstyled
Wow you are so pretty… I have to say your wedding robe was worth the $90. It looks beautiful in that photo… Really really pretty it’s so elegant in comparison to all of the white terry cloth robes we see that says bride across the back…. The fabric of yours looks beautiful, soft and silky…
I listened up when you talked about the hair….that’s the biggest debate in my mind is how I should wear my hair!? Lol thank you for sharing your experience.
Oh yes! I had that same challenge when I was planning my wedding. I knew I wanted to switch it up a little bit and do something different. I would say really take advantage of your hair trial with your stylist. Try some different styles to see what works best for you :)
Amazing video. I so agree with all these points . I told myself I was not going to spend, thousands of dollars on a dress I was going to wear for a few mins. I ended up spending a total of $350 on my dress and got it costume made.
That's amazing! It's so crazy how much wedding dresses cost, my goodness!! But I'm so happy you found a wedding dress that's to your liking, I know it looks stunning!! :)
Thank you so much 🥰 so glad it was helpful! Yeah that was one thing I should have trusted my gut with. I’m sure whichever style u go with you’re going to look beautiful!
Thank you for this video!! We have a big cake for our wedding in July. It will be served as the dessert after dinner. Should we stock up on take home cake boxes just in case?
Ooh nice ☺️ Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! If you think your guest may not eat the cake, maybe purchasing boxes for your guest to take home would be a great option. Also if you have a layered cake you can always freeze the top layer and eat it for your one year anniversary 😊. I hope that helps!
Just discovered your channel. You have such a kind, lovely spirit! I’ve been obsessed with weddings all my life too, love those WETV shows 😂 I’ve wanted to be a planner since I was 18, but sometimes I feel like the industry is a bit ridiculous and obnoxious and it clouds my heart’s desires. I still may be a planner one day. But you’re definitely an inspiration. I was hoping to reach out to you if I ever have a wedding of my own but I’m in NY and you’re based in CA 😭 Best of luck with your new business 🥳
So sweet 🥰🥰 I really appreciate you so much! I loved all of those shows on WETV (Bridezillas, my fair weddings with David tutera, etc). The wedding and event planning industry is tough but if it’s your passion I would definitely say go for it! You can reach out to me and we can chat, I would love that! ☺️
@@LovelySoiree I think I’ll see how I feel after I plan my own and my help with my friend’s 😂 And it’ll be a long while but hopefully I remember to reach out to you! It would be cool if I get good enough to maybe help you with east coast brides 😁
Please don't abandon the idea of being a planner. I loved my planner so much. You can be a good planner and stay under budget while getting the bride most of her heart desires. That's what my planner did for me.
Your hair looks great! You're the second person who has said not to bother with a guest book as most people don't even sign them or to just buy a cheap one...
@@LovelySoiree which is how I feel as well, it’s usually not that noticeable in photos and whenever It’s time to have kids my kids will think I’m a “cool mom” lol. But thanks for your response!
Yeah it definitely does go to waste. It’s best to do something portable so they can take it home with them ☺️. Are you planning to do a wedding cake or some kind of dessert for your wedding?

I feel the same way. I don't want to spend tens of thousands either, but want a great day.

Appreciate your honesty! ♥️🔥 The advice about the shoes lets me know I’m sticking with whatever pumps i have in the closet lol
Right! Like honestly no one will see your shoes especially if your gown is long. Congratulations on your engagement ☺️

Aww thank you so much for the compliment, I really appreciate it! I really loved the robe the sheer material really caught my attention. :)

I was planning to make my guest book meme edition so I can have a good laugh down the road
That’ll be great! Always good to look back on the memories ☺️
If anyone knows where to get wedding veils please let me know. I don't want to pend 300 on one
Amazon. Just get based on ratings. Got my beautiful one under $20 . Nice quality and very soft.
@@haliam3666 thank you!
JJ’s House!
I got my wedding veil from ebay for $15 and it was a cathedral veil.

@@f.-j.j.5738 I definitely agree, Go after your dreams!

Thank you so much! Yep the last thing that's on your guest mind is signing a guest book lol
@@LovelySoiree I'm really enjoying your videos. They are very clear and concise... Thanks for uploading
🥰 I really appreciate it, thank you! I have more tips on my Instagram, I post pretty frequently there 🤗
Did you have your nose ring in for your wedding? I have one and my mom is adamant I remove it for the wedding or switch to a stud
I kept my hoop nose ring in lol I honestly forgot to switch it to a stud towards the end. In my wedding pictures I barely notice it though ☺️
@@LovelySoiree which is how I feel as well, it’s usually not that noticeable in photos and whenever It’s time to have kids my kids will think I’m a “cool mom” lol. But thanks for your response!
Haha I Love it! 😁
👍
Nooooo cupcakes!!! 😭 it is true though that people forget to eat dessert.
Yeah it definitely does go to waste. It’s best to do something portable so they can take it home with them ☺️. Are you planning to do a wedding cake or some kind of dessert for your wedding?
