Is there like an anti-wedding somewhere I could see lol? Even the non-traditional weddings seem to blur together into this one generic lump of white, cake, and flowers. Starting to think this whole wedding thing just isn't for me. Slow music intros with shots of dripping water, or standing water, or...

Is there like an anti-wedding somewhere I could see lol? Even the non-traditional weddings seem to blur together into this one generic lump of white, cake, and flowers. Starting to think this whole wedding thing just isn't for me. Slow music intros with shots of dripping water, or standing water, or flowers with soft spoken words, flashes of hair and makeup. All for Your Special Day


It's driving me nuts that it seems like more spectacle than heartfelt emotions. Don't get me wrong I still want the ceremony and some of the traditions but Mary and Joseph, everything seems to be exactly the same. Change a color scheme here and there, maybe a desert room instead of a candy bar. And maybe I feel this way because it's my second wedding but I'm about to just slap a few pony rides onto this horse and cart show and call it a day. Is it normal to see this through jaded eyes or should I call my therapist?

    An Up theme is adorable! Honestly, we chose a venue with a great look inside and out so we could opt not to obsess on decor if we wanted (didn't on the ceremony but uh, did go crazy on pirate reception).

    If all the details drive you nuts, why not choose a more unique/fun venue like a brewery/winery, museum, aquarium, zoo, etc? It won't need much decor and wouldn't have that traditional wedding feel it seems like you don't want?

    We’re on a bit of a limited budget so renting a unique venue isn’t I. The cards for us. Luckily our church hall is getting a makeover. We’re utilizing the kids sanctuary and it already has some decor in there that’ll be perfect for an Up theme. After venting to my sister she’s started to take over some of the things I was stressed about for me. She lives for this stuff, ha!
