What went wrong/didn't go according to plan at your wedding or during planning?

mrswinteriscoming, on October 25, 2021 at 12:12 AM Posted in Planning 0 4

Pretty much everything I have planned for the wedding has gone to s&%t or changed in some way or another, some by reason of COVID.

I’m at that point where I don’t even care anymore because if I cared about all these things, I would go crazy.


These are all the things we’ve had happen so far (besides postponing and downsizing our wedding due to COVID):

· my wedding dress had a hole in it so a new dress was ordered;

· the new dress didn’t have the custom length we paid extra for when we ordered it;

· our florist decided to retire so we had to find a new florist;

· my make up artist didn’t book an assistant (despite knowing we needed one) so I had to find a new one;

· my SIL cut my flower girl’s (her daughter’s) hair super short so we can’t have them wear the cute buns we wanted them to wear;

· my flower girls’ dresses went missing in transit so we had to order new dresses;

· (the latest instalment) our historic ceremony venue has termite damage so they have to put scaffolding up along one of the buildings which we would have our ceremony in front of, meaning our ceremony will now be against a lovely backdrop of industrial scaffolding

Did anything ‘go wrong’ or not happen according to plan for your wedding or in the lead up to it?

    Oh no!! You have a lot going wrong but trust me it will all come together. My wedding was a catastrophe!!


    First my mom didn’t do my centerpieces like she said she was going to she just gave me the supplies the day before the wedding. My 2 bridesmaids and myself with my kids in tow had to run around to 2 different store to get extra supplies to make them work and they weren’t even done before my rehearsal so after my rehearsal dinner we had to come back to my house and finish them, then drop them off at my reception venue.
    Secondly my now husband was supposed to be up early to help my bridesmaid set up the ceremony space…well he drank to much at the rehearsal dinner so he was hungover and didn’t wake up and despite us having signs up his uncle didn’t want to go by himself to bring all of the chairs and supplies to my bride maid so she was at thr ceremony space waiting 3 hours for them to bring it to her!!! So she wasn’t able to get ready with me and the girls and we couldn’t get getting ready pictures.
    Thirdly I had a screaming match with another bridesmaid who then walked out and left thr hotel we were staying in, she met us at thr park for pictures but still.
    And then we finally get to the reception and our microphones and music decided they didn’t want to work so we had to practically yell at each other for people to hear us, and we didn’t have any music to walk down to
    But in the end it all worked out and the reception was a BLAST!!! So trust me when I say that it will all come together and be a magical day!!

    We haven't had our wedding yet, but things along the way have happened that have changed the vision!

    First being the fact that my fiance's family all literally decided to have babies right before our wedding, so half of them won't be attending. Luckily, the most important ones in his mind will and they're making it work. We are of course happy for everyone having babies, but in our heads we were kind of like really?! Are there no other months in the year?! Lol.

    Speaking of pregnancies, our photographer got pregnant and is due the month of our wedding, so she's going out on leave and will not be photographing us. I was bummed because we love her. But she's found us replacements and she's going to edit our photos herself, so they'll still have her style on them.

    My officiant backed out 3 months before the wedding due to COVID and just being unsure of being around a bunch of people she didn't know. We luckily found a great replacement within a week.

    My bridesmaids had to order their dresses online because where we are, the dress shops were only allowing 3 people in the store at a time to shop and it was going to be too much of a pain for us. Well, my matron of honor's first dress got lost, her second dress came in the wrong color, and she finally just got her third dress.

    I think that's all for us, so nothing crazy yet but each little thing caused a bit of stress!

    A lot went wrong at my wedding last year, but it turned out great in the end and provided a lot of things to laugh about later! I was also determined NOT to be a bridezilla/remember my wedding day as being upset, so I tried to have a good attitude and roll with the punches.

    We rented an AirBnb for the wedding (7 guests including us). They sold it 6 weeks before the wedding. Found another AirBnb. Checked in the day before the wedding and the A/C is broken on the second floor (where we were planning to get ready and then spend our wedding night) in south Florida. Day of wedding it torrential downpoured. Our photographer (who was supposed to be there at 4), called at 3 and said she wasn't coming. Suggested we take our wedding photos "another day when it's nice out." Sent her assistant. Didn't get a single photo with my family. My bouquet was terrible/nothing like I had shown/discussed with the florist.

    For our vow renewal/reception this year, some things still went wrong, but overall went much more smoothly. As luck would have it, it rained again! Luckily cleared up in time for us to have our reception outdoors as planned. My sister got drunk and passed out in her room and missed her MOH toast, but I honestly didn't even notice/pretty on par for her so wouldn't let something like that take away from my day.

    1. not enough time for photo taking which means i didn't get to use my prop and i forgot some poses

    2. the venue didn't let me put some things where we had discussed but this wasn't really a huge problem because what do i care that my candy wall was on one wall instead of the other haha

    3. this is my fault - but i should have done a better job with clean up. i was pretty intent on leaving a lot of stuff behind cus it was cheap and didn't need it but i should have taken some of the stuff [in hindsight it doesn't actually matter either because it was so cheap but i was tired and wanted to go home so i wasn't really focused on clean up better]
