What wedding trend do you hate?

And no matter what you decide to do at your wedding, someone will hate it. Just how it is. It's funny seeing the commonly-hated elements, though.

"Best day ever"

I hope it's not your best day ever!

I'm personally not getting "butt hurt". I just think its disrespectful to say what you hate when everyone on here is doing the same thing- planning a wedding... But everyone is entitled to their own opinion so I let it be. Doesn't mean I'm going to change my mason jar idea

I'M GOING WITH SNOW CAMO AND ALL OF YOU CAN KISS MY BUTT. ;P LMAO.

I'm over the multiple dresses - one is expensive as it is!

HAHAHA @rusticbride

LOL @rusticbride!!

If I listed the trends and traditions I disliked I'd write a novel.

What I do really dislike are all of the silly expectations that come up. You HAVE to have fancy centerpieces. You HAVE to do a first dance. You HAVE to do a unity ceremony. You HAVE to wear fancy-ass heels. And so on.

Except in reality you don't have to do a single one of those things and if you don't like it or don't have the budget for it, just throw it out. I hate heels so I'll be wearing flats or sneakers (just because someone doesn't spend a fortune on shoes doesn't mean they don't care). I don't like unity ceremonies (that's what the wedding itself is!) so we won't be doing one. We have a small budget so we aren't wasting time or money on centerpieces. And so on.

I must confess, I'm doing the rustic/mason jar/ burlap... but not because it's a trend. FH and I are outdoorsy and hell we didn't even want an actually wedding until we found out they don't do JP weddings in my county. I never envisioned a "fancy wedding" as a kid. I HATE the huge puffy dresses that cost thousands of dollars I mean it's going to be worn ONCE why throw that money out the window. This is also 2nd marriage. The first there was no planning for. It was outside at a park with a cake/punch reception. So this time around FH and I started looking for ideas and the rustic look fit us. Didn't know it was a trend until I really dove into planning and see that EVERYONE is doing it. But at this point I'm NOT spending MORE money on MORE BS that's only going to be used for ONE day. I don't see why weddings have to cost 20k. That's just asinine to me.

Personally I LOVE weddings. Always have, always will. No matter what people choose to do I'm happy to share in their day. That said I have been a lot more critical of the details since I've been planning my own wedding. I think a lot of us are over some of the "trends" simply because we're planning our own weddings. I can say a lot of what I'm sick of... I've never even seen in a real wedding. and I bet some of you ladies are not much different. Pinterest has destroyed certain ideas in the same way a radio can destroy your favorite song by over playing it. But in reality if you turned the radio off you could appreciate the song every once in a while even though it might not be your favorite... okay moving on... I dislike burlap, mason jars, the here come your bride signs, overly "blingy" things, and the debate over "etiquette". I think that can change depending on your guests/location etc. I also HATE high centerpieces (biggest wedding pet peeve is when the centerpieces make it hard to converse with the entire table)

We are having a wedding with a few disney touches, so my four year nephew wlil be carrying a sign that says, "When you wish upon a star...", and the other side says, "And they lived happily ever after".

I'm sick of photo booths as well, in addition to people trying to reinvent the wheel. Let's just have good food, drinks, and a good time!

Things I dislike:

Burlap

mason jars

everything is bling

keyhole back dresses

"Here comes the" signs

pick a seat not a side signs

custom wire hangers

unity sand

mismatched bridesmaids

rainbow weddings

I don't hate these things, I just find them a little over done and I chose not to do them. Everyone can have the wedding that they want and I would never say their wedding wasn't beautiful because of their details.

Well, my 18 year old son wants to wear a real Spidey mask as he walks me down the aisle. Where does that leave me? ;-) LOL!!

@Suzi - right on to the 20k weddings. Really? Why. Just why?

I think signs are helpful!! I was just at a "fancy" wedding this weekend and I had NO IDEA what was going on, where we were supposed to go, what the buffet menu was, I felt really overwhelmed by it all. Maybe the "flow" was wrong, I don't know. I hope that by using signs, people are not queuing up all over the place only to have wasted their time in a particular line that wasn't for them (buffet/table numbers, etc.) That's just me though.

Weddings are awesome, but everyone has their own personal style and taste. I realized I will NOT be playing loud club music during the dancing because most of my guests are family, IE, not college aged people that are only there to grind on bridesmaids. I will be offering various things to do because our reception is at an indoor/outdoor venue and we have lots of different age groups attending, I don't expect my aunts and uncles to want to listen to Lil Wayne when they can go outside and play some yard games, which is what they would prefer.

But again, I think people totally just have to know their audience, stay true to themselves as a couple, and stick to what is affordable. There is a happy, perfect wedding for everyone! Who cares if it doesn't work for anyone else.

I think as long as you pick your style based on things you personally love, it doesn't matter and people will appreciate it! If you pick it based on pinterest and because it's a trend, people will notice and probably dislike it or find it "typical" or whatever. But you are allowed to spend however much you want on your own wedding without the judging eyes of the public. Maybe spending 2k is A LOT for you, and maybe spending 20k for someone else is being "conservative". It's not for us to judge

The only thing I dislike is when people impose crazy traditions, rules, expectations/whatever on others.

Be true to yourselves, respect your family, bridal party and guests, and have an amazing day, ladies and gents!

I'm not a fan of people bashing other people's weddings. Just because it's not your style, doesn't mean you need to insult other people's taste. But that is why often need to take breaks from WW because of nasty rude comments.

I would never use the color purple in my wedding, but I also would never tell someone their wedding was awful bc they used purple.

In the end, I don't care what anyone, with the exception of my FH, thinks about our wedding.

The photo booth, and smashing the cake the other thing when the guy goes up your dress... So cheesy lol

I never knew so many people didn't like the garter! this is so interesting!
