I was just getting ready to say the centerpieces. I just keep feeling like anything we do isn't going to be good enough. I think I need to stop watching 'My Fair Wedding,' lol.
I struggled mostly with to do or not to do certain things, like chair covers, aisle runners and more. We did have quite a bit of indecisiveness on our entree selections, so that's what I actually voted for.
Definetly the location. I wanted and found a beautiful estate with gorgeous gardens with a marquee but I couldn't sleep at the amount it would cost or the amount of work involved if I tried to save money and do it myself so we then decided on somewhere else. It was hard finding something we liked.
@jo.lee: Haha! David Tutera does some AMAZING things with flowers and centerpieces on "My Fair Wedding." I have a love/hate relationship with that show! :)
I have a second appointment with a florist on Thursday. I am hoping to FINALLY make up my mind after the appointment!
Definitely the music! Trying to decide which ceremony songs, processional, recessional, first dance and all the dance tunes. That was the most stressful for us!
@Jenn23: Oh man, I haven't even gotten that far yet with music! I have a couple of songs in mind for our first dance. I haven't even put much thought towards the ceremony songs though!
I struggled a little bit with finding a band. But once I found the one, the decision was easy. Now I am super excited about my band! It just took a while to find them! :)
I said dress because it has been a pain in my back side but the date is also a big problem because I don't have an exact one yet due to Marine Corp uncertainties.
You should have an option on that poll as 'Saying YES to your SO". I'm only saying this to be funny, because my single sister (boy crazy and huge party animal) tells me the other day :"I can't believe you stressed out over making a decision on which dress to choose. If I were you I'd be stressed about saying YES to being with the SAME guy for the rest of my life"
@Topolino: I don't know why that was the most difficult part for us. I guess we just had trouble deciding music! But, this thread takes me back to January one Saturday night when my husband and I spent two hours trying to decide which processional song we liked best. (I'm sure he didn't care as much as I did, but he seemed interested enough! LOL) He would play the songs I liked on the computer and I would hold an imaginery bouquet and walk from our living room to the kitchen to each song. LOL That was one of my favorite planning moments. (Although it was stressful because I really wanted the 'right' song) Then for our recessional, we would kiss and he would push the play button to see how we liked the song. We went with U2's Beautiful Day right as we kissed. :) Have fun selecting!
the date. I;m not sure if I would like a fall or spring wedding. FI doesn't care. I love both seasons .
For us it was our BUDGET and LOCATION battling it out!
Luckily we opt'd for the DOUBLE DISCOUNT!
DECEMBER & SUNDAY!
But it was worth it because we are getting our dreamy venue and a great DEAL!
Best of Luck Bees!
I voted "nothing' because I haven't really struggled between ideas.
Pretty much everything has been chosen by price, "what is the cheapest I can get that looks decent?".
I've been unofficially planning things for months and we have been going back and forth on the date. Now that it's official (Hooray!), we have to buckle down and pick a date, but our school/work schedules are getting in the way of what we really want.
@bride2bejc: Haha...I actually thought about having that as an option in the poll!! Then I figured not everyone has a sense of humor so I decided not to! BTW...I have a friend just like your sister!
@Jenn23: That's cute! I hope some of our difficult decisions end up with a cute moment like that! Those are the ones you will look back on and cherish! :)
Centerpiece and linens....I feel like it sets the tone for the rest of the decorations!!!
@janicegiraldo: I feel your pain! Centerpieces have definitely been my struggle!
Our officiant! We had the most difficult time! But we ended up with an amazing officiant :)
@Treasure43: I'm getting ready to start my process of finding our officiant! I didn't even think about that one being a difficult decision! Hopefully it goes pretty smoothly!!
I'm glad you finally found yours! :)
For us it was the venue and location - we looked in many places (Charleston, Outer banks NC, DC, MD, VA, Georgia, a cruise) and many different venues (including an aquarium, an old movie theatre, a victorian house, etc) and it took us 4.5 months of being engaged before deciding where to get married!
The hardest part for us was the officiant. We wanted a Jewish ceremony, but NotFroofy is not Jewish. So we needed to find a rabbi willing to perform an interfaith wedding, which was tough enough. When you add in the fact that we needed to get married in Massachusetts, and live near DC, it was even more of a challenge.
Of the ones listed, the dress was tough for me just because it was a two-bride wedding. We aren't at all the same size or shape, so we couldn't go with identical dresses, but we wanted ones that would look like they were at least part of the same wedding. Fortunately, we finally found a bridal consultant who really "got" what we were looking for, and helped us find coordinating dresses and veils.
Without a doubt the location of the wedding. We are having a destination wedding and dealing with others' feelings towards this has created a great deal of stress. But those same people would give me crap if I had the wedding here too, some people just like to complain!!!!
I struggled the most with the photography. I know exacly how I want the pictures to look and it took me forever to decide to stay within budget or go with the photographer I loved. I've also changed the bridesmaids flowers about 50 times. haha
@princessbelle: Photography was very important to me! I looked at a TON of photographers. However, it wasn't really a difficult decision for me...it was just time consuming! As soon as I found my photographer, I knew he was the one!
I voted for dress, because I battled with myself over saying yes to that particular dress (but I did in the end!). Next after that would be invitations, because we still haven't picked a design!
OMG, guest list. Nothing else came CLOSE to the stress and anxiety caused by cutting our guest list down to 78 (still too high - hopefully at least 10 will decline...)!
I think the style. of the wedding. I thought the dress style that I would like i didn't when i went to try them on. I didn't buy anything yet because I'm stumped! I want the BMs to wear different dresses so I'm stumped with that. I want to give them 4 different dresses to choose from so I still have a little bit of control, but let them choose which one of the 4 they like for themselves the best.
I wanted a more modern dress with little to no beading and the dress I liked was vintage looking with a lot of beading! I'm stuck!
The date, no joke. That has been the most trying to figure out (mostly b/c of budgets and family expectations/demands).
I said food & beverages, but the date & venue are close seconds. : / We're struggling over food because our original plan was a picnic wedding, but we had to move the date. Then we wanted to do a restaurant-style dinner, but no place where we live offers choices for sit-down dinners (it's all one-menu-fits-all, and there's way too many food preferences/allergies in our families for that to float). We didn't want a buffet, because we dislike the atmosphere (I don't mind it as a guest, but I don't want it at my wedding). No place does family-style (like a buffet crossed with a sit-down dinner). Finally we decided on heavy hors d'oeuvres and cupcakes/dessert bar, and now my dad is throwing a FIT, just when my fiance and I found a solution we liked. Ugh!
The venue decision has been really tough, too. : / (Again, with the switching of plans from summer picnic to winter formal wedding, which obviously also complicated the date decision.)
I would say other ... because I can't figure out how I want to wear my hair! WAH!
@panterapeach: Where is your destination?
I chose other. For me, it was budget related. I struggled with having everything I wanted within my budget. That was the toughest part of the wedding planning process.
The second hardest was trying to find a compromise between me and the DH for a lot things. We grew up differently so there were things that were important for both of us.
Music for the ceremony is making me nuts - I can't settle on anything and the guy is of no help on this one. Thankfully I've turned the reception music decisions over to my brother (he works at a club and knows what I love & hate so I know he and his buddy will keep the dance floor rocking) or I'd really be over the edge!

Hi Bees,
Happy New Year!
Have any of you had a difficult time making a decision about your wedding?
Have you been really indecisive in one area? Which decision did you struggle with the most?
For me, most decisions were pretty easy to make. However, I have struggled with centerpieces...I must have changed my mind 100 times!! Have any of you gone through something similar??
Lets share! Maybe we can help eachother!
