I agree - NOT a good look! I think her aggravation came from unaccounted wedding day woes! It's my mission today to help you avoid looking anywhere in the vicinity of this on your special day.
We polled our friends on our Facebook page and asked what they'd guess to be a bride's biggest wedding day fear. Interestingly, the biggest fear most brides share is not fitting into their dress! While this hiccup doesn't have an instant solution, I can provide you a wealth of helpful tricks to solve other wedding day mishaps in a jiffy!
Here's a round-up of our Top 5 Links for Wedding Day Kinks!

4) But You Promised!: When a Vendor is a No-Show by Nina Callaway, Event Planner
One of the scariest wedding day mishaps! I can relate. The wedding party driver decided to flake the morning of a wedding I was coordinating. All was set, confirmed, signed, sealed, and, well, almost delivered. While all eventually worked out, it can still be a major stress-inducer. Here are some additional helpful tips for other missing vendor snafus not mentioned in Nina's article:
- Wedding Cake 911: Have your wedding or venue coordinator or an über reliable friend/family member attending the wedding save the day by running to the closest bakery to buy cupcakes, a small cutting cake, and a cake tier to display at the reception.
- Limo/Transportation 911: You can book last-minute town car rentals (not a limo, but still a sweet ride for the bride and groom plus) through almost any rental agency or use the premium pick up options from Uber or Lyft.
5) The Catch-All: The Ultimate Wedding Day Emergency Kit by The Wedding Shoppe
Let's remember: The best defense is a good offense. The best cure is an ounce of prevention. Before anything has the chance to go down, have your plan of action already prepared. After all, the only thing we can expect is the unexpected itself! Surround yourself with a superb wedding planner who is a problem and can help alleviate stress, try your best to remain calm, and carry on.
Until next time...
Happy Planning!
