10 Things I Wish I Knew as a Bride!

[@nefariousnivia2316]

Something that we did at our wedding (thanks to our wedding planners suggestion!) was while everyone was getting ready for the sparkler exit outside we stayed inside to have a special last dance to end the night away. My husband ended up picking out the song and for someone who hates being the center of attention, the dance felt more special than even our first dance in front of everyone.

I got married 3 years ago. Trying on wedding dresses was a NIGHTMARE. I think I tried on over 100 dresses for a lot of different reasons. In the end I was so stressed that I bought one just to say I did. I eventually had to go back, by myself, and decide which one truly felt like me. I ended up with a dress I love but don’t be afraid to go alone if you know yourself! I was taking in too many opinions

[@awatif59]

Although I'm not married yet BUT I can definitely understand your point and I love it. People can make you go off track and with all the excitement, you can forget what you wanted in the first place. Alone time does make you understand more about you and helps you concentrate on your thoughts.

[@liene93]

This spoke to me! I bought a dress on sale. I liked it. It looks good on me. But it wasn't what I wanted from the beginning. In my alone time I started getting so stressed over whether I made a wrong decicion. I will go and try on more dresses. I can always sell the dress I bought if I find a better one that truly feels like my style.

Could you do a video breaking down the costs of both of your weddings (like flowers, food, decorations, etc)? I think it would be great to see the difference in price when you two have very different weddings! Thank you❤

I was thinking about how good that would be too! People talk about the cost but never the breakdown which is good for those wanting to or planning already

[@ariana8734]

I'm not sure how much their stuff was! That would be interesting to know. I just wanted to jump in and say that I got married last December, and I can share my wedding costs if anyone is curious. During that time, I also toured a few venues and got their costs, so I could share some of those as well perhaps. Just let me know if you're interested! 🙂

In terms of price, I think it’s also fair to note that Brooklyn got married this year when inflation is super high and it may have played a part in the weddings being similar in price.

[@courtneysmith909]

I LOVE that you brought up spending time with your spouse on your day. I am a wedding coordinator in MN and I highly recommend for my couples to find time to spend alone time and soak up all the love and excitement together.

My husband escorted me when I had to go to the bathroom at our reception because he knew people would want to talk to both of us and was afraid we would end up separated for a long stretch. We also had a “sweetheart” table with just the two of us while we ate dinner at the reception.

I'm not engaged or married, but I just want to remind people to enjoy their engagement 😊 You don't have to get married within the year you get engaged. Give yourself time so you're not having to rush and plan out a timeline that works for you if you can 💕

[@fc112089]

agreed! there's no issue with being engaged for a few years while you adjust to the idea and take your time planning a wedding. I was engaged for 1.5 years before my wedding and wouldn't have minded waiting longer. Of course we lived together already so there was no rush to be together in that way...

[@lindseyrush2917]

Thanks for making it NORMAL to be overprepared/preparing early. I bought my dress a month after getting engaged, before we even had a date or venue, and soooo many people judged me for it and said it was too soon. But now that I am in the thick of all the planning, I am so thankful that big piece is done and out of the way. Plus, it has been a blast styling my wedding around my dress.

[@cait.francisco]

I bought my dress a month and a half before getting engaged AND we booked our venue and honeymoon two months before getting engaged. we both were good with everything happening and having it planned out to be prepared- no one else’s opinion matters ✨🥰

[@vanna9947]

This is what I plan on doing if I ever decide to "walk that plank" lol plan around the dress.. I've seen so many go the other way and end up not wanting their perfect dress because it didn't fit in with the rest of the wedding.

One thing that my fiance and I are doing that I recommend everyone do is make a separate email JUST for wedding stuff! Gmail specifically so you can build any spreadsheets or lists, keep any/all important documents, and have all your wedding-related correspondences in one place. It's so helpful!

Also! Designate someone as your “problem solver” if you don’t have a coordinator or planner! I was my friend’s MOH and literally so many issues on wedding day she never knew about until the next day bc the planner was informing me instead of bride to problem solve 😅 people passed out from heat, cake melting bc OG cake never delivered, drunk parents, so many issues lol

[@alexishynek747]

Great points! Best wedding advice we had from our wedding planner, was taking time just me and my husband after the ceremony and before the cocktail hour. We went to a side room just the two of us with some food and drinks and just got to take in the fact that we got married. That small time together was really special!

[@haileynorman5119]

Highly controversial move, but my husband and I decided to hold our party/reception the night before our ceremony. We had a lot of confused family at first, but afterwards we had so many people tell us how much they loved it. I feel like the reception is the most stressful part in terms of thinking of feeding and socializing and taking care of everyone else, so to have that done before our ceremony meant we were much more present for the most important part of a wedding. We had our ceremony the next morning, a family lunch that we actually got to eat, we weren't exhausted by an incredibly long day, and we had a lot of time together as new spouses on the day of our wedding. I know this isn't for everyone, but it worked so well for us and it's not something a lot of people even think of!

[@shardyway16]

Highly recommend a private last dance! It gives you a moment at the end of the night to take in the day privately with your spouse :) I also had a cleaning inventory/checklist and had 4 different friends/family members designed for this task. They said it was super fast, and easy! We also scheduled lunches and dinners with these individuals after our honeymoon to catch up and collect things from them.

[@jbivphotography]

Scheduling time for you and your groom is a HUGE one that I wish more couples would write into their day. As a wedding photographer, I try to do that for them by doing a first look and getting photos early that way after the ceremony they actually have time to hang out rather than filling it all up with photos. Great video!

Yes! My aunt and uncle say the same thing. They had so many things go wrong on their wedding day. The worst being that one of the candles actually caused a small fire. 😬 But they're still happily married over 30 years later, and while they wish the day would have been a bit better, they just laugh about it now and mention how grateful they are that they were still able to get married. That's what mattered most of all.

I got married on a Tuesday and it was the best thing about our planning I ever did. Kept the ceremony small and simple and we did the reception with the masses a couple weeks later. Our wedding day was calm and relaxed and we were off and away before dinner and had the rest of the day just for my husband and me. We actually went on a dinner picnic, just the two of us! 💗

[@Niftynicknacks]

Something else that's advice, tell your wedding planner anything that makes you happy. I get really bad social anxiety when I'm around people for hours on end, and I told her that, so she made me a panic room to go if I got overwhelmed. I didn't end up using the room, but it was nice to know it was there just in case. Also, while deciding the table placement, I told her that I love Harry Potter. So instead of circle tables, she made them like the great hall dining room. Just mention anything that makes you happy to help make your day special and they will most likely make it happen!

[@haileygooding5203]

Great tips! Can confirm the accuracy of them. ☺️ I had a super tiny wedding - less than 25 people. It was perfect! And I still absolutely HATED the planning process even though it was so simple compared to what most people do. But to your point, because we had the wedding in my grandparents backyard on a lake, everyone who was invited to the wedding got to spend the whole day hanging out there on the lake, boating and swimming in-between setting up decorations and getting ready for the wedding. That was probably my favorite part. I got to be with my guy all day long, too, which was awesome!

We went super small. Immediate family only ceremony and about 60 people at an outdoor reception with cake and pizza and music and yard games. $1500 later and I recommend that to EVERYONE. You hear too many horror stories about people going into debt for a wedding day that brought them nothing but stress. And bonus, our guests loved it too, because it didn’t have any of the stuffy stuff that’s boring for guests. Everybody wins.

[@alingardo11]

Loved the make sure you eat comment. We picked a venue where we made sure we LOVED the food and made sure our expectations were that since the day was about us, we were going to enjoy dinner and dessert at our reception and if people wanted to chat with us while eating, they could come up to us, but that was our day to be a little selfish!

[@jonismith7897]

Wedding dress shopping - go with an open mind, don’t get one kind of dress stuck in your head, you might find something that you NEVER thought would be you, and you fall in love with it. Wedding party - post wedding, everyone forgets stuff after the event. I would suggest having a basket/ box that once everything is used, place it in there. So many other things, but definitely take care of yourself. Too many times, I have heard that the bride and groom didn’t eat anything, and when you leave, you’re exhausted, and starving.

[@LRL_1917]

My biggest tip as a bride? Anticipate how your body will react to stress/nerves/ all the emotions and PLAN FOR IT! I thought I was calm and cool, but my body was in panic mode the whole day. Once I was finally able to relax and enjoy my wedding, the adrenaline kicked in and I ended up throwing up from it. Had to leave my wedding early because the nerves had taken over 😂 I still had an amazing day but if you know how your body reacts to these situations, plan ahead!!!

[@Amberrr_0080]

This is how my body reacts to stress and I just learned a nausea trick where u smell isopropyl alcohol and its worked good for me so far. U can keep a non-scented germx keychain on u or get some of those little rubbing alcohol packets, like what gets rubbed on u b4 getting a shot at a drs office for on the go and its amazing how fast the nausea goes away!

Another tip: consider if you want to preserve your flowers and make plans for them if so. I got married last month and the thought never crossed my mind until it was over and we were cleaning up. People came to me asking what I wanted to do with the flowers and all I could think of was just throw them away because I wouldn’t be home to enjoy them since I was leaving the next day for the honeymoon.

I am not engaged or married, but I have friends who are, and it's ok to be engaged and for you to take time to plan you don't have to be like ok I'm engaged wedding dress, venue straight away, but I do guess it does depend on when you get engaged, but go with the mentality that you can take your time to plan after getting engaged or if you know you'll be engaged soon.

I got married this March, and I just want to encourage anyone with body image insecurities. I also had a very hard time settling on a wedding dress, but not because I liked too many. It isn't that I didn't like the dresses, they were beautiful. But I couldn't see myself as beautiful in any of them. My dress is/was beautiful, but I'm still learning to see myself as beautiful in it. I didn't have the dream "say yes to the dress" moment, or live the childhood dream of feeling like a princess, but my husband thought I was beautiful on our wedding day. I'm still working on me, but when I look back at the photos, it's nice to see us together. At the end of the day, we are all beautiful in our own way. We may not always be able to see it ourselves, but that doesn't make it untrue

Both of your weddings were beautiful🤍😍 I went to a wedding when I was younger and it started pouring rain so hard that we were stuck at the cathedral, the venue after was completely flooded and after we left they told us that some people couldn't leave and the dress, food and everything got soaked and ruined but they still had a blast. Thank God there was a hotel right beside the place😂🤷🏻‍♀️ so YES EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY CAN GO WRONG, just be positive and enjoy it!😅👍🏻😁

For us financially normal people don’t just randomly book venues, losing a down payment is a lot.😂 it’s usually not like 200$ it’s normal in the thousands. Everything else is great.

[@ellabeagley1604]

The average is £1000 for a deposit where I am in the UK so definitely not reasonable to put your name down before getting engaged😂

[@NannyDiaries23]

They said look at venues not necessarily lock in a date

[@ellabeagley1604]

@@NannyDiaries23 they definitely mentioned putting a down payment on a date lol

Brooklyn it was so comforting to hear you didn't love planning you rwedding.... I get married in 25 days and I have HATED planning this wedding. I know the day will be great but I often feel guilty for being ungrateful for this "special time" when the truth is.... I just want to be married to my favorite person and celebrate with my close friends and family.... and I dont really want to pick out and pay for linens and candles and blah blah blah. I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

This was so tremendously helpful!! Can y'all do an engagement version? That would be helpful as well❤️ thank you so much for all your advice ☺️

[@paigefulbright6435]

I think I’m getting engaged next week and we already have our venue🤭 this couldn’t have been more perfect timing!

[@alexandrahobbs4534]

I got married almost 3 years ago right before Christmas! This video is awesome! The best advice I agree with in it is do what makes you and your spouse to be happy! Also I had the moment of this is my dress the second I put it on thankfully, because I am super indecisive and there were about 5 different "second" choices. Whatever you do, make sure you ENJOY the big day and take it all in as it is! ❤️

[@sarahubbard7653]

I’m getting married in a few months and still have so much to plan. This was so helpful, thank you!

[@bern3658]

I got married in between when you 2 got married. I got married in July of this year. I agree with most of these points. I actually didn't have much time with my spouse until after we finished and were in our hotel. I thought we would for a few minutes but I forgot. I actually didn't mind though. I also got annoyed with people telling me all the time that something would go wrong the day of. Even though, it's true I liked that you guys pointed out to focus on why you're there rather than just leaving it at something will go wrong, which was my experience.

Yes to number 10! I will never forget that morning of my wedding after waking up and starting to get ready, the power went out. All my at home getting ready had to be done in the dark with a camping lantern before I left for the venue. Thankfully the venue had power and our power came back on as I was headed out the door. 😂

Bailey is literally glowing! The fit, hair, makeup, yess!!

[@kasshales9730]

I tried on my whole outfit multiple times before my wedding day! For sure recommend! I found my dress several months before I got engaged due to certain logistics. Also worth it! The other thing that saved me stress was I started planning early. It was a year and 4 months that we were engaged. Start bits and pieces early to save stress. Also, let people help you!

[@chloewood1359]

I feel like you’re talking to us just like your little sisters 🥹 Thank you so much for sharing! I’m 20 right now, but when I’m engaged I’ll just call y’all! 😂

[@anirrelevantperson4562]

You were literally the most beautiful Brides I've ever seen

[@emmersonleach1087]

I’ve been watching you for years. I got engaged 2 days ago and I’m so grateful for videos like this.

[@upliftingchristianjams]

My first cousin just got married last Saturday!! And I was one of her bridesmaids so I’ll have to share this video with her!!

[@ilakk.k]

Thank you for all the advices and experience. Super helpful. I am not getting married for a decade. Last wish you should have added about getting period on your wedding because Brooklyn was on her period on the wedding day. Love you ❤

[@kit7475]

I remember watching their college acceptance/decision video... time flies so fast T-T

[@terriandlola]

I scheduled a nap into my wedding day 🤣. I think UK weddings are much longer? I got married at 12:30, evening guests arrive around 7:30 so I napped 6-7!

[@shaylynsmith5539]

I am getting married next year and we definitely had a venue location picked and basically all wedding details planned before we were engaged 😂

[@mariahkaybuck7038]

When I got engaged I was looking forward to planning in reality it was a nightmare but, after planning my husband and I were so relieved. 😌

[@maymelynn6504]

I actually love the idea of getting ready together. Like and then putting on the dress can be the 1st look

[@lifewithgianna2.0]

I want Brooklyn and Dakota's "First time" story just like how Bailey and Asa did pls

[@karinaestrada6802]

My number 1 best advice, just ENJOY being engaged, DON’T RUSH to do anything for at least a month or two. It is one of the happiest times of a relationship, why rush it when you know you’re going to spend the rest of your lives together. Literally the opposite of your first few suggestions, but just being engaged without the stress yet is honestly the best. I think that is why it was so stressful for Brooklyn, because she rushed to plan without just enjoying being engaged to her babe.

[@toriilaurenn]

THIS!!! I WISH I hadn’t rushed into planning the wedding we’re getting married December 3rd and I’m STRESSING and we toured our first venue TWO days after we got engaged, I wish we had just let ourselves be excited

[@mayavogel178]

One piece of advice I have heard (I am not engaged or married or even dating) was that to not ask the bride if they are ready for the wedding and get all excited about the planning of it but ask are you ready to be a wife? You are a bride for one day but wife for life so focus on that aspect.
