I've already changed our location twice, booked lodging and then cancelled to book elsewhere, and I'm on my 2nd dress (which I'm sticking with!). I thought I was the most indecisive bride ever, so reading your blog post was a relief. I don't think there's anything wrong with changing your vendors as long as you don't wait until the last minute. You should be 100% happy with your choices! penguin on "Changing Your Mind?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/changing-your-mind#post-96713 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 12:04:09 +0000 penguin 96713@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ When it came to wedding-altering decisions, I found it rewarding to go with my gut.  I switched photographers, lost my deposit, and I dont regret it in the slightest.  I think I would have regretted it deeply if I didn't go with my gut and switch.  I hope this helps you to follow your heart!

We are having a long engagement so the time doesn't help. We had no choice really, we're paying for the wedding ourselves so the time was set to save a certain amount. I made my decisions pretty quick on color theme, DJ, photographer, venue and date. I do some graphic design in my job and a lot on the side so my biggest interest is in the DIY projects - to be honest I could care less about focusing on anything else but the crafty projects. I constantly change my mind on centerpieces, STDs, what our website should look like and finding inspiration for an invitation. Six months into our engagement I  had finally found inspiration and made a sample of my invitation. It was really unique and I even refused to tell friends and family about it because I wanted something to be a surprise. The other night I was in Michaels with my FI starting to look for supplies for my invitations and realized it was going to be more hassle, work and cost than I had expected for a DIY invite. I was browsing the clearence section and came across a DIY invite set that had caught my eye at Michaels over the summer. The thing I clung to the most was making an original invite myself. Next thing you know I'm checking out with the invites and coordinating programs for $40 total!! caliwed on "Changing Your Mind?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/changing-your-mind#post-96636 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:30:06 +0000 caliwed 96636@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ We must be twins b/c I swear I change my mind EVERYDAY!  I can barely pick a date and stick with it for 3 days : ).  There are so many different options and the possibilities are endless.  I truly empathize with you b/c I have second guessed every decision including the date, location, photographer, style, theme, colors, dress, reception centerpieces, size of the wedding/wedding party/reception - and that is just the tip of the iceberg!  And guess what?  We have been engaged for only 5 months with 9 months to go.  The sad thing is that my fiance is at his breaking point b/c every few days I have a "final" decision only to change my mind AGAIN.  I don't really know what the answer is, but I sure wish I did.  My new approach is to keep my decisions to myself, and to wait before booking anyone or paying a deposit until I have waited at least 7 days.  I hope this works.  If not, maybe someone has a better idea . . . . Just wanted you to know that you are not alone.   ChrissyM on "Changing Your Mind?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/changing-your-mind#post-96623 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:20:27 +0000 ChrissyM 96623@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ I'm totally the same way... we have a long engagement, which is great in many ways but leaves WAY too much time for regret! I feel like I rushed into booking our photographer too quickly -- some of the photogs I liked best were already booked on our date, so I was afraid to wait too much longer -- and now I have second thoughts every time I discover a great new photography blog. We've paid a big deposit already so I have no choice at this point, but I really wish I had taken more time to decide and not jumped to put a deposit down right away. I just keep reminding myself that at the end of the day, none of this stuff really matters as long as I'm married!  MarshmallowMarfio on "Changing Your Mind?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/changing-your-mind#post-96619 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:56:19 +0000 MarshmallowMarfio 96619@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ read my post- Fed Up Minimalist Bride to Be Seeks Advise   it will make you feel better, i promise! kenziegirl on "Changing Your Mind?" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/changing-your-mind#post-79917 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:52:26 +0000 kenziegirl 79917@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ I'm meeting her this week!   I agree that personality may not mesh, but she left a message and sounds decent... I do have to see if we mesh. Once I found her on there, I had to find out. It sounds like they LOVED her.

(thanks a lot, Lynzee!) I know what I like, and I thought our girl was good, but Laura is tons better, and she's less expensive! Funny thing, one of her feature weddings (Liana and Joe) -- I know the family through a good friend of mine.
