4. Realizing Grape Isn’t Your Color (With Two Months to Go)
When you started planning your wedding, you thought you knew just what you wanted, but after scouring inspiration boards and wedding magazines for a few months, you’ve completely changed your mind. It’s not the best realization, but don’t worry—your wedding style could still be salvageable.
You should feel free to rethink, redo, and revamp any element of your wedding that you want. This doesn’t have to mean yet another huge investment or reneging on a bunch of contracts—you’ll be surprised how easy it is to make simple additions or subtractions and change your whole style. Already ordered those pastel bridesmaid dresses? Think about adding a bold sash or accessorizing with chandelier earrings to liven them up a bit. Unsure about the color scheme you chose? Pay an extra visit to your florist and work out changes to your bouquets and centerpieces—adding new blooms in all of your arrangements will introduce a new color throughout the room. Same thing if you’ve already ordered the linens: Spice them up with bright table runners or overlays. If you decide you really can’t live with it, chances are you can go back on your first choice, just remember it will have a cost. A good rule of thumb is that if you’ve already signed a contract or seen a proof, you will have to pay extra for any changes or additions you make. But if it’s still relatively early in your planning process, don’t be afraid to make the change. And don’t forget, you’re getting married to your husband, not your centerpieces.
