Kinda sorta. But not for our wedding -- I'm pleased with most of what we've done, so now I'm just gathering great ideas for parties to have in the future!
From time to time, but especially when you are really close to your wedding there is just no room for that wedding envy! So I just put it aside and work on perfecting the details of my own wedding.
I feel like I want to have 7 weddings...with all different themes and color schemes...but all with the same MR. of course...
No! I love, love, love that each wedding is a different reflection of the personalities involved. I swoon at all the creative things that each person has done. I probably never could have had any wedding but ours, so I just embrace it and go on loving everyone else's creativity and execution.
Members of the hive throw amazing weddings, I have to say!
I have wedding envy allthetime. There are soo many beautiful ideas and understated themes out there I wish I could have them all! I'm totally digging MRS. Gloss' wedding, I love the boat and the nautical color scheme!
Mostly the only things are that I wish I had a videographer, better photog, and a sound system of some sort during the ceremony because I don't know if anyone could hear us. We were outdoors close to a not super busy highway, but had a couple of motorcycles go by...
I'm not married yet and I just started planning, so I don't have anything to wish I did differently. I definitely get wedding envy though. I also think that seeing all these amazing weddings on blogs and websites really makes planning overwhelming. For someone as indecisive as I am, there are just way too many options and way too many creative brides out there.
Not neceesarily envy, but definitely more of a "Dang, I shoulda done that!" =)
All the time! I haven't even started planning and I'm with you, KaterTot - I want to have a bunch of weddings!
From teh pictures, sometimes I get a little jealous. But then I think about my actual wedding day and I can't imagine it any other way - I wouldn't have changed a single thing.
I'm not going to lie. I get serious cases of wedding envy! Mrs. Lovebug's gorgeous Monique dress (the first dress I lusted after in InStyle!), Mrs. Tiramisu's breathtaking coast venue (oh the photos with the crashing waves and rocky shoreline!), Mrs. Avocado and Mrs. Cherry Pie's fab photographers, Mrs. Cupcake's photobooth...I could go on! But on my budget, in my town, with my amazing hubby and wonderful family and friends, would I go back and change things about my wedding? Besides a few minor lessons learned, I can't say I would.
I do a little bit but more so I see really good ideas that wouldve been great for my wedding but it's too late now. I wish I could have a wedding renewal party each year and do something different each time !!!
I am so totally in love with Mrs. Cherry Pie's wedding, and yes, I am envious!
My problem is that I'm still in the planning stages and everything I see on this dang blog is so cute and fun that I want it in my wedding. It's so hard to pick and choose!
I had so much envy looking at photographers' blogs, specifically when looking at the shots of smiling people around the bride and the groom. I felt a pang with all the shots of the bride being dressed by her bridesmaids and the family dances. I desperately wanted a wedding where the bride and the groom were surrounded by love. And... that just didn't happen. So we're eloping and will be surrounded by each others' love. And... I try not to be jealous.
Yes, I have wedding envy all the time. Also, dress envy. And ring envy! But I'm very happy with everything we did and definitely don't want to do it ever again!
There are some great articles written about this over on offbeatbride.com. I have them printed out and in my wedding folder - right after my pic of FI and I - to remind myself that our wedding is about us and not the WIC (wedding industrial complex).
They're called:
Your Wedding is Not a Contest
and
When To Stop Looking at Wedding Porn
Seriously. Go look at them, even if they are geared towards a more offbeat audience and you think that the brides on that site are plain weird. Read them. And then go give your sweetie a big fat kiss because this shindig is about you.
I don't know about envy. I was just in awe at some people's creativity and craft skills. At the same time i just had to ultimately accept that I was going to have the wedding that I was going to have. It was fun and the simple, streamlined wedding what we wanted.
Yes, especially now that the wedding is over. I see things online and think man, I wish I would have thought of that/done that for my wedding! But I don't think there's ever enough time or money to get everything done to perfection (at least for my own standards) so maybe it's best to just stop looking haha. I will (sheepishly) admit that I take comfort in the fact that I think my wedding was the most beautiful, detail oriented, and unique wedding I've ever been to and have had other people, even some who weren't there, tell me the same.
I think a lot of really great weddings show up online (especially here on weddingbee) and we spend so much time looking for inspiration that it seems like everyone has these really awesome, envy worthy weddings. In real life though a lot of weddings (at least the ones I've been to) are pretty cookie cutter.
Sometimes it's a bit of sensory overload, isn't it? I tried to step back and focus on a few big projects of my own... and made sure that they were as good as I could do them. Picking out a few details that you think are really important, and really putting a lot of effort into them (and letting your photog know that it's important for them to capture those details) will catapult your wedding right into the ranks of all those weddings on the web... after all, you're typically seeing only 10-ish pics of those "droolworthy" weddings on the web, you know? You're just seeing the juiciest parts of them... and you'll have your own juicy wedding details, as well! :)
I felt envious of other people's weddings at the start of my planning, but not anymore. A lot of those envious weddings take SO MUCH WORK to pull off and I just have no desire to add any more to my plate!
Sometimes I do. It's not so much money we have what we have. It's more of a time and talent thing. I wish I had more time for DIY, but I'm trying to move and I commute 2 hours a day. FI lives 45 minutes from me and my wedding location is two hours away in my hometown to save money, but it's a resort town. I wish I had more DIy talent especially graphic design, I just drool over some of the invite suites.
At least most of us get to have weddings.
P.S. I eney Spring weddings, but circumstances of when we got engaged and other time contraits put the lid on that.
There's always stuff I wish I would hve done! But, hey, the grass is greener on the other side and I only had so much sanity for wedding planning. I just love all things wedding =]
I totally have wedding envy. I am very very excited about how we chose to do ours, but if I had unlimited funds and time to plan, I have so many inspirations all around the web and right here on the 'bee!
I have wedding envy when I see a wedding that looks like it was a great time. What I want more then anything is to throw a great party for my guests, and that they will talk about for years.

Does anyone else look at all the beautiful pictures around the web (and even right here on The Bee) and feel envious of other weddings? Do you wish you would have done things differently?
