Overdone and over it?

What trends, elements, themes, decorations, etc., are you so tired of seeing at weddings? I keep seeing articles about wedding trends that need to "die" or themes that are overdone. So I want to hear what you all are totally over seeing at weddings. I haven't been to many weddings so I love to hear...

So I want to hear what you all are totally over seeing at weddings. I haven't been to many weddings so I love to hear it from other people's perspectives. One thing I'm tired of seeing is burlap

    I am sick of the "Country Chic" look. Every freaking wedding lately. Burlap and lace...OVER it!

    Cowboy boots on brides or bridesmaids, so over it. The whole Country Chic thing is so over done here in Northern Nevada. I see freaking whiskey barrel tables and I want to scream.

    Ring bearers with signs that say things like "Don't Worry Ladies, I'm Still Single." I know people think they're funny but they're too pedo-ish for me.

    Chalkboard signs.

    Photobooths. Photobooth props. It's a wedding, not Chuck-E-Cheese..

    Garter and bouquet toss. I don't want to see a man shove his head up his bride's dress to get a garter with his teeth. Save that for the bedroom.

    DJ games. Why do I have to wait forever to get my food just because one person at my table couldn't guess what a song was? Actually, I just hate wedding DJs in general.

    When the wedding party comes into the reception with a choreographed entrance. This usually involves fist pumps and stupid dancing.

    "Pick a Seat, Not a Side. We're all Family once the Knot is Tied."

    Cake smash. The cake slicing in general.

    Honeymoon Jars. Stop begging your guest for money.

    I will be in the minority here: I do not like memorial tables or anything related in a big visual way to remember folks that have passed. It is a wedding, not a funeral. A few charms on your bouquet? Go for it. An empty chair with Gramma's picture on it? No thanks.

    Photobooths, bridemaids proposals, anything that people do to end up on FB - stop it. The ring bearer with a sign that says "It is not too late to run" - not funny.

    Burlap is over. "Shabby Chic" - why would you want your wedding described in any way as shabby?

    Over the top, fancy, overly priced weddings that are way too serious! I think spending over 10,000 is ridiculous for one day. It’s not about the theme or the decorations it should be about the actual marriage. It’s easy to loose sight of what’s important.

    I dislike rustic weddings as well. They are so overdone. I dont get why people like camouflage on their dresses and designs.

    -Rustic
    -Grooms cake
    -Open Bar (people get so wasted that it is no longer fun for anything)
    -People who propose to their girlfriend/boyfriend at the wedding
    -"Does anyone reject the wedding" part of the ceremony
    -Camo
    -Mail in RSVPs. Seriously, just use the websites.
    -Mason jars

    I am sure there is even more that I dislike but that's it on top of my head.
    My wedding is formal/princess/ with lanterns with floral wreaths my grandma made for us. At this point, I am glad I am not doing a rustic wedding that EVERYONE in Florida seems to be doing. Overdone 100%.
