for starters my hair and makeup start time was 10 hours before the ceremony so it didn’t last even with hair touch ups I truly hated my hair by reception time (I am a makeup artist as well and I kept thinking about if I should’ve done all of my parties makeup to save $ but I wanted them to have the pampered experience so I hired pros. It just did not come out how I wanted)
Walking into my venue it was set up nicely as far as the layout but my florist did not do my flowers how we discussed. I purchased all the flowers and paid for a profession to arrange them. He made small dainty pieces to go into the centerpieces instead of the over the top pieces we discussed so my tables looked very empty

then my bouquets were totally wrong. My main bouquet was NOTHING that I asked for I was so sad but I had no choice but to go with it because it was too late.
The worst thing about flowers is that at the end of the night he gave me back my boxes of flowers with over $500 worth of roses, baby breathe, etc left over that HE JUST DIDNT USE - so it wasn’t that I didn’t have enough to make my dream pieces, he just didn’t use them !
During the ceremony my coordinator told me only 15 people were seated (at start time) out of 100 guests

I am happy to marry my husband but so much more went wrong as the night progressed that it just was not what I envisioned, what I spent all my time planning, not what I paid for! I spent so much money on this wedding I just feel like I shouldn’t have done it at all and I should’ve just eloped. My best friend is probably tired of me saying this but it so hard to get over it I’m just so sad I didn’t get the wedding of the dreams that I spent so much time planning.
Thank you for letting me vent. I hope everyone coming up has a great wedding day! Xoxo
