SAY NO TO THE WEDDING TREND



By now I'm sure you know how I personally feel about following trends, but let's face it, no matter how much I try to avoid them I see, experience and sometimes have to create a different twist on them to make a client happy.

Yet there are some trends that we are sooooo over. And so we thought we'd put a call out to see what Brides, Grooms and wedding professionals alike had to say about trends that they've just about had enough of. So here you have it, the top trends that we hope are on their way out of events and weddings:


Wedding Trends That We Hope To Never See Again

 "Butterfly releases"

"Slideshows of the bride growing up, the groom growing up and their relationship. "

"Mason jars for vintage weddings"

"White wedding gowns with red corseted backs"

"Typewriters or hay bales. Or burlap" @LavishMary

"Bubbles during the Recessional"

"Sand ceremonies, candy buffets, choreographed first dance, slide shows, sage green bridesmaid dresses, see through corsets!" @TeraMacfie

"Uniform Bridal Parties"

"Paper Lanterns!!!"

"Chair covers"

"Selective colouring in photos! (flowers in color, the rest in b&w)" @InBloomPhoto

"Cupcakes"

"Balloons in centerpieces" <-- Et Lofte Events says: oh, oh my...please tell me this still isn't a trend!!!!

"Food trucks"

"The colour purple and Hydrangeas. There are other colours and flowers around people!" @DeeDeeNewell

"Cash Bars, Loonie-Twoonie Bars" 

"Damask!!!"

"Unity ceremonies - only done because it's "nice" to add to the ceremony. A unity ceremony should be poignant and personal. Buying a vase and some coloured sand isn't personal". - Louise McAllister-Drinnan

"Weddings in barns"

 "The colour tangerine. I know it's 'in' right now but it only looks good in decor. Tangerine is not a flattering colour on anyone people! - " @et_lofte_events

"Centerpieces on mirrors"

"LED lights in centerpieces"

Alright, I love butterfly releases AND the color tangerine! :P

But I do agree that it is important to be creative and original when planning your wedding. After all, it's going to be the most remembered day of your life, do you really want it to look just like everyone else's?

I loved mason jars at first but now I am just so sick of them! They are in EVERYONE'S wedding decor here on the East coast...gahh!
