What wedding trend do you hate?

I'm guilty of mason jars!! Lol they'll double as drinking glasses and favors. We aren't fancy and we're serving apple pie moonshine so we thought it was fun!

I don't hate any trend....but giant wedding parties (like 7+ on each side), dances down the aisle, and overly "unique" guest books are soooo not my thing!

This is such a funny thread! lol. I agree with most of your ladies.. I actually am going the vintage/glam/old Hollywood road however, I am not a fan of rustic, burlap, a whole bunch of colors, brooches etc. I have went back and forth with the photo booth idea, they are really fun to goof around in, but I've been to weddings where people are more concerned about taking pictures of themselves in the photo booth or at the photo background thingy. And also, I appreciate detail and diy but when you have too many signs/instruction/personalization it becomes less special IMO.. often less is more

Theresa, yes!!! I thought I was attending a wedding, not a musical production of "Thriller"...

Mrs. Clark To Be - Agreed. Maybe it comes from the cell phone/"selfie" culture.

FH wants to make a list as well- he says he doesn't like brooch bouquets, colored wedding dresses (hes says it should be white or ivory), and bright colored wedding shoes

Cowboy boots and a wedding dress. I will never understand it. I also really despise burlap. It's ugly and smells funny.

Both my fiancé and I extremely dislike mason jars. My MOH jokes she's going to bring one just to annoy me. Other then that I'm not overly against anything. It's their wedding after all.

I personal don't prefer things being over done million candles and million of every little things i rather have a few statement piece ans keep my rustic and mason jars wedding ??

Anything rustic themed (burlap, mason jars etc) and the personalized hangers....Don't get it. I also am not a fan of some of the "popular color combos"

I can't stand bridesmaids in flipflops!!! it makes me sooo annoyed, you really can't keep your heels or even flats on?I think it looks horrible to see you all done up and then flip flops.. i hate it.. my bridesmaids joke they are going to do it just to annoy me, i don't them thats fine I will have shoes on standby! lol

Multiple dresses. Seriously one is enough.

I can't stand the peacock theme. The feathers on the table, in the bouquet, the bridesmaids carrying little jeweled peacock bags...ugh.

Not a fan of the whole cowboy/rustic/burlap themes either! just blah. i also am not a fan of people being SOOO elegant with everything at their wedding. like flowers all over the cake and flowers everywhere and taupe colored dresses and pearls and everything just so mundane and blah. i want my wedding to be bright and happy and colorful and crazy call me weird!

I love them all. It's interesting that some of these trends were not around when many of us envisioned our weddings growing up, but now it seems like your wedding wouldn't be complete without it. I just love weddings. I love watching 4 weddings and all the cool ideas and upgrades to stolen ideas that I see. Every year is a new trend and they will bleed into weddings and events. Now with that said, I'm over chevron. I don't know how much it's playing a part in weddings, but I'm tired of seeing it everywhere else. Yes it can be flattering with the right clothing design, but it's necessary on pillows, bibs, purses, etc. :-)

The garter is general. Why does my FH have to go up my dress to get my garter. I see it that men get all excited about this. In this day and age where we are are all equal, why does it seem that removing the garter from under my dress degrates us women. Sorry rant.

Don't like all the extra dances, musical performances, or what DH calls "half-time shows" at receptions.

Giant wedding parties. Come on, you really had to include everyone you've ever known.

Wedding dresses that have the see through part around the waist area/under the boobs. It looks like you are wearing lingerie walking down the aisle. Save that look for the bedroom.

I know it's not really a trend pre se, but I have never enjoyed the dancing. I love country dances and classical/ballroom dancing, and have never been able to get onto "normal" wedding dancing.

To answer why photo booths are popular -

1. Not everyone likes to dance - its something else to do.

2. Its a favor people actually like - photos of themselves and friends / family. Its better than a shot glass with the couples name on it.

3. Its a way to get tons of photos of your guests. No matter how much your photog does, the best chance you have of getting ever person in a photo is "table" photos, and those are so boring.

The ceremony then cocktail then late night dress...why in Gods name do you need three dresses? Not only that but you will need your BM's or your mom to help you get in and out of each dress which will take you away from your guests for an extended period of time. It's a wedding, not a stage performance of Chicago.

I was reading this thread with my FH he laughed at the whole garter being on women, so he said " babe you can hike up my pant leg and remove the garter from me and I will throw the bouquet. break with tradition he says" I laughed and told him, that no he can't wear my garter I will wear it but the one thing I have to say I dislike is the bouquet toss I have seen women get hurt

HUGE wedding parties, i cant deal with. I worked for a wedding photographer a few years ago and one of the weddings she did had 18, yes 18 bridesmaids and 16 groomsmen. I also dont like the whole "uncle bob, here comes your girl" or "daddy, here comes mommy" .. they annoy the shit out of me lol multiple dresses as well.

Im having a photo booth for a few reasons. my friends and family love to take photos/have their photo taken, i love photos, there can never be enough photos. we got our photo booth along with our dj so we pretty much got it for free. i love the pictures i got from photo booths.
