5 Fall Wedding Planning Mishaps
There are so many different things to remember when planning your fall wedding that it can end up taking over your life. Everything from letterpress wedding invitations to the wedding vows, there are a million and one things that you can forget.
To make your fall wedding planning process a little easier, I have created a list of the 5 more common wedding planning mishaps. Avoiding these can save you time, money and a whole lot of heartache:
1) Asking EVERYONE to be in your wedding party
While I know this is your special day and you want everyone that you love to play a part in it, before asking all of your friends to be in your wedding party think about how much this will cost. From bridesmaid’s bouquets, gifts, extra limos, and the added stress of having to direct and coordinate 15+ people, you may want to consider trimming your wedding party down a notch.
2) Procrastinate, Procrastinate, Procrastinate
Fall is right around the corner and if you want your autumn wedding to be as magical as you have dreamed it to be, you should start planning right now. Order your letterpress wedding invitations immediately and start deciding on rest of the details as soon as possible.
3) Don’t DIY your whole invitation set
I have talked to many brides that have spent countless hours and hundreds of dollars on custom supplies and DIY wedding invitation equipment only to realize that they will never be able to make the invitations they have been dreaming of. Letterpress wedding invitation designs will never look as good when done by hand, and trying to get them perfect will cost you more than a couple grey hairs.

4) Out of season flowers
While lilies of the valley may be your favorite floral selection, bouquets are expensive enough even when the flower selections are in season. Buying out of season or non-native flowers can end up costing a lot more than you originally anticipated or were willing to spend.
5) Buying a dress online
While shopping for wedding invitation designs, flowers, DJs and photographers online can end up saving you a lot of money, I strongly caution every bride against buying their dress online. While this may seem like a money saving idea, you will never know how the dress looks, feels or fits until you actually try it on. Do yourself a favor and buy your dress in person.
Do you have any suggestions on what to avoid and what to remember when planning your wedding?
