Well, I knew SOMETHING had to go wrong...

[KiaKat]

I forgot to order the boutonnieres for the guys. Wedding is one week from tomorrow, and the ones I wanted are custom feather ones. Now I'm going to have to tell mom and have her order some from the florist.

And I was so excited about non-floral ones, too. DAMMIT.

GODDAMMIT, I TOLD YOU TO BREATHE!!!


*plies kiakat with booze and chocolate*

It will be OK. I'm sorry about the nonfloral, though, but remember: You got your dress, you got your photographer, you got your venue, and you've got your family. More importantly, you has your guy. It's gonna ALL be ok in the end, right?

[KiaKat]

It will all be fine. It's just a minor detail. I'm just annoyed at myself for getting so stressed that I forgot.

Trust me, if that's the only thing that's "wrong", you'll have gotten off easy! There's always some little thing like that at every wedding. My husband was supposed to bring the crystal toasting flutes his sister had given us. We got married in NC. We were about to do the toast when we realized he'd left them in GA. So we did our toast out of punch cups. We've never used the flutes. They're sitting in our china cabinet, collecting dust.

On the day of, remember to just relax and enjoy. As long as you're hitched at the end of the day, everything else doesn't really matter!

I didn't even have my boutonnieres or corsages, and my wedding turned out well. So you'll be fine. Promise.

[Kara]

Yeah, we skimped on a lot of things for my marriage. It'll all be fine, just relax

More weddings have been ruined by attendee misbehavior than by boutonnieres or the lack of the same.

Why does it always seem to be those little flowers that have problems. My mom had ordered mine when I went to go get the morning of the wedding they only had one made not seven. So the lovely lady made up the rest and I went and had an ice cream cone.

Your wedding will be lovely!

Honestly, it's not so much the bouts that bother me, as it is the feeling that something is about to go massively wrong. I have this sense of dread right now. Maybe it's because the vows aren't finished, or because I'm not quite sure whether we have two or three groomsmen, or because there's something else lurking in the back of my skull that says DOOD YOU FUCKED IT UP.

Stupid anxiety disorder.

Here's a thought- a florist can likely do bouts in ribbons and greenery if you're trying to avoid cut flowers. A few strands of bear grass with some sort of flat leaf backing it and a narrow ribbon loop in whatever color... I tend to like simplicity in such things.
