- You Don’t Hire a Videographer – We know this can cost a lot and it may seem like a luxury so you will decide not to hire a videographer but this may be one of your biggest regrets once the big day is over and done with. Speeches are always a good laugh at a wedding so having someone professional there to get them on camera is priceless. We suggest you splash the cash and hire a videographer for your wedding.

You Have Way Too Many Bridesmaids – This is a big no no, not only does it look too much in your wedding pictures it can also end up making your wedding budget go right through the roof as you have so many people in the bridal party to buy for.

This is your big day, the biggest day of your life, the day all eyes are on you.

5. Speeches Will Be Long – No one ever left a wedding and said “I wish there was more speeches” speeches can be a fun part of any wedding but too many people saying speeches or speeches that are too long can drag the fun out of any good wedding. You want everyone to enjoy the day and the speeches so keep them short and sweet. I think having them in between courses is a great idea and keeps everything moving If you decide to have them before the meal people may just be thinking of food as its a long day and they are hungry.
