What wedding trend do you hate?

Erin- Re: Burlap, I never even would have thought of that obstacle but it does kind of get everywhere doesn't it

Now I am doing a vintage rustic wedding but that is our personalities not because it's a trend. We will not have burlap(I'm allergic) and we will have mason jar centerpieces only because we had them and I could not find centerpieces I really liked. It will still feel elegant but still fun.

I don't really like chevron, fancy ring pillows, or very modern weddings but that just not me I am a vintage kind of person.

I hate guest books. Idk why lol

Mason jars, I think they're horrendous.

The "pick a seat, not a side" sign. It was cute the first several times I saw it, but now it is just everywhere.

@Miss Captain America I always feel like that sounds like a death match or something lol

Not really a trend - but flower girls/ring bearers...I mean honestly, no one remembers them and if they are too young, they inevitably cut up or run away and grandma has to pop up out of her seat to dart after the child.

Personalized ANYTHING. I love my friends, but if I am given a favor with their name on it, it's going in the trash.

And although it is really not a trend per-se, empty seats/elaborate memorial tables. It is a wedding not a funeral - seeing things like this at a wedding are extremely depressing.

Weddings where everything is so by the book & looks exactly the same as every other wedding. Bring out your personality in your wedding

Single ladies as the bouquet toss song! Omg FH had 4 cousins get married last summer and every single one of them played that song.

Hmmm well I have pretty different tastes so I'd have to say strapless dresses, people getting drunk at weddings, colored wedding dresses (other than white/ivory).

ETA: I second Danielle about mason jars

Gym shoes at weddings. GAHHHHH. I didn't spend hundreds on my dress to not care about my shoes too.

Hmm. The awkward bridal party dance.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. "Here Comes Your Queen" signs. I had no idea they were even a thing until this site. You aren't his queen! You are his partner! Get over yourself!

Me too i never did the photo both at weddings that i have attended i dont know what the fuss is about

I never saw the here comes your queen sign

^^pretty much everything stated. The worst for me is brooch bouquets. (all brooch)

I agree with you If we all liked the exact same styles, life would exceedingly dull. I, personally, hate rhinestones, sequins, and all "girly" themes - princesses and whatnot. I know they can be cute, but it's just not my thing.

I'm with Melanie-- I don't care for it when the ceremony crosses the line from 'meaningful ceremony' into 'big performance to outdo friends.' Not that I have ANY idea where that line is, myself!

Choreographer wedding party dances (especially to "Single Ladies") and the "surprise" first dance by the bride and groom. (You know the ones that are all over YouTube).

I'm over the burlap/mason jar thing. I could do without the photo booth and candy table. All the signs are completely overdone, no matter what they say. Also really don't like unity ceremonies of any kind. Went to a wedding last year that could have been anyone's. You should definitely have a touch of your own personality. The only thing I'm doing that's trendy are cupcakes instead of cake, and that's only because a) I don't really care about cake and b) I'm being cheap in that aspect :-)

The one trend that I just cannot get into is bling, and I agree with the ' here comes the (insert your word if choice)' signs. I think it makes a big difference if things feel natural or forced though. Also! The personalized robes to get ready in. I can see a robe, even a robe with a name, but as soon as it has a role (ie bridesmaid) embroidered on, it becomes a one-day wonder.
