Are you the sort of bride who\u2019s been dreaming of her big day since she was a little girl? Or are you somebody who never thought you\u2019d be get married and are surprised to find yourself picking stationery and choosing between vintage birdcages?<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, you\u2019re in good company. Here are some wedding ideas<\/a> from real brides and how they changed or didn\u2019t change their plans;<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, little girls don\u2019t always have the most realistic expectations, \u201cThe unlimited budget I had in my mind has obviously changed so, due to that, pretty much everything is different!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The same can\u2019t said for one Bride to Be. \u201cEverything is exactly how I always dreamed it would be \u2013 a grand princess fairytale wedding\u201d. Her dad promised her that it would be perfect years ago and he didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/span><\/p>\n

One real bride\u2019s childhood dream transformed into something more modest. \u201cI always thought I\u2019d be the new Cinderella. With the big castle, big dress and thousands of guests,\u201dnow it\u2019s changed to wanting a small laid-back wedding that\u2019s just lots of fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Changing wedding plans<\/span><\/p>\n

Other brides have changed their minds about lots of things\u2026 from colour schemes to who they were going to marry!<\/span><\/p>\n

One Bride to be always wanted a baby pink and blue wedding, but now she’s having a Cadbury purple wedding with butterflies. And marrying a woman!!<\/span><\/p>\n

However, one bride has kept to her plan. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted burgundy, green and cream for my wedding and I\u2019ve always wanted to get married near Christmas.\u201d She got married on 30th November and had the day shes always wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of you were surprised that you were even getting married!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my childhood, teens and early adulthood, I never planned on getting married,\u201d says one Bride. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until my partner proposed that I actually wanted to get married.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was dead set on not getting married because I saw it as a waste of money,\u201d says another Bride to be. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t until I met my husband and I realised what it all really means and that it\u2019s not about the money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It goes to show that you never know what\u2019s going to happen in your future. Keep dreams as flexible as possible and don\u2019t be too rigid in your expectations, because you never know what could happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk to your other half about the type of wedding you want because he may not be comfortable with the big extravagant event you\u2019ve always imagined and it may suit the pair of you far more to have a simpler, smaller do.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day you both want to enjoy yourselves and a lot of marriage is about compromise. So find some common ground about what you both want and take it from there.<\/span><\/p>\n
