We're not asking for forgiveness, just your post-wedding thoughts!

Tis' the season... to get married, attend a wedding, be in a wedding, prepare for a wedding!

That's right, wedding season is at it's peak! June and July are hot (LITERALLY!) months for all-things wedding! While we could name thousands of Websites, magazines, books, blogs and shows that are targeted directly to the bride-to-be, what most of these fail to offer is the post-wedding advice. You know, the "don't-forget-to-remember-this-one-exact-second" advice, or the "when-it's-all-over-you-won't-remember-your-salad-dressing-but-you-will-remember-the-fillintheblankhere" advice.

Leading up to the wedding, the important thing [at that time] is to get everything lined up, from linens and flowers, to cake and dresses, but when it's all said and done, what was the ONE thing you wish you would have done, would have remembered, would have captured on camera, and so on?

Sometimes it's big things, and sometimes they're small. Either way, you can't press restart and you can't rehearse it for a do-over. It's happening once (hopefully!), and you can't do it again later or do it better next time, so needless to say, you hope to do it without regrets, or "would haves/should haves."

Sometimes you're caught up in such a whirlwind of planning, you forget that you won't get to plan with your bridal party later (or maybe it's the bridal party that forgets this), so if it hasn't happened already, it surely will not happen after the wedding--no need to plan for a wedding after the fact! And, you won't get to discuss fun details and talk through the planning with your family afterwards, when the rushing has ceased, because, well... it's over. You can't start to enjoy the excitement and anticipation of the wedding with family and friends after the fact!

So, tell us what you wish you would have paused to reflect on a bit more, planned a littler better for, appreciated more, or just enjoyed more.

Or better yet, what did you make an extra effort to do that you think made all the difference? What was the best thing you did for your big day, or leading up to it, that you'd recommend to every bride-to-be? What little details did you pay special attention to that you know look back and are so thankful for, because you would have never had the chance to do these things otherwise.

Give us your advice, because as you know, it's a wedding weekend EVERY weekend at Secrets of Hairdesign, and of course, EVERYONE knows SOMEONE that's planning for, or getting ready for that BIG DAY!

Look forward to hearing what you have to share!
