    This is going to sound insane...naming the colors. I have a picture of what I want but when people ask me my colors I'm thinking, is this fuscia, hot pink, raspberry? I need a uniform set of colors that all wedding planners, venues, florists and bridal shops go by! URRGHH!

    Planning a wedding in MA (where I grew up and most of my family is) while I live in NH. Lot of weekend trips home to meet wth the venue and other local vendors. My mom has also been transformed from a sweet woman to a Momzilla because "weddings are about the parents too"

    Guest list. We've redone it like 5 times. Not fun to cut people, but we don't want a huge wedding!

    People's opinions. Hands down the worst part. We are doing a DW and everyone has an opinion

    Bridesmaids dresses. Had gone shopping with one of my local bridesmaids, picked a dress. My MOH was like it won't look good on me. Was in FL with her over Christmas she tried it on and was right. She tries on a dress that looks great on her and should be flattering on the others. Looking for it on designers website in February and it's not there. Contact store in FL, she finds out it was discontinued is going to see if they still have the pattern and will make it. Never heard back from her. MOH and my mom go to Alfred Angelo find a great dress. Dress comes in early June for her, and before the bankruptcy for second bridesmaid. Third dress who placed order at same time finds out it was never submitted even though they charged her. Luckily finds it on eBay in a larger size to get fitted to her.

    People who weren't contributing one cent always trying to insert their opinions - and 2 cents. We started saying "No pay, no say!" really quickly. All those bright ideas cost money and unless you're paying for them, keep those ideas to yourself.

    Music..... ceremony music, first dance song, dance music (I may just leave it all up to the DJ - put in a few "must haves" and leave the rest to him!)

    That, and doing things WAY earlier than needed!

    For me it's been my parents. They have been doing so many things against etiquette--forwarding my emails about wedding details to people not on our guest list, inviting people to the bridal shower who are not on the guest list. They also went ahead and bought canopies for our at-home wedding and then told us we owe them $400, when we never okayed the purchase and we were thinking of renting a tent.

    Getting people to understand that it's my wedding and not theirs! I dont think people know that you can do whatever you want to do for YOUR WEDDING

    I agree with @Raegin! Keeping track of everything despite using tools is still a bit overwhelming for me.

    Having a full time job and planning a wedding is difficult, especially when trying to set up vendor meetings and the like.

    I also dislike working with our ceremony venue coordinator. She never answers her phone or email and very rarely returns phone calls in a timely manner (for that reason I try not to contact her, but over time I have had a few questions/needed to change reservation). She's a very nice person, but she is a PITA to work with.

    It also seems that I cannot, for the life of me, make a decision on the small things like shoes or hair.
