Oops

Some Brides make mistakes and though I hate to admit it, I am one of those Brides. I thought that I knew everything that I needed to know when finalizing the little details. I have done my research, read all the blogs, Bride Magazines and regularly check Martha Stewart’s wedding website. Where was my fatal flaw exposed? I do not know anything about menswear. I made the ridiculous mistake of ordering the wrong ties. Instead of men’s ties, I ordered cravats. Don’t know what a Cravat is? Neither did I! I had to google Cravat to figure out what I had ordered even after they arrived.

This was the picture featured on the website.

It looks like a tie to me. Right?

Well, not quite. This is what a Cravat traditionally looks like when tied.

Not exactly the look we are going for.

Luckily, I was able to contact the company that I ordered these from and they told me that I could exchange them with no problem. I guess I wasn’t the first Bride to order the wrong thing, because as soon as I called he knew what I wanted to return.

Did you have any "oops" moments when planning your wedding?
