Tired Wedding Trends: Which ones are you sick of, or are doing anyway?

I'm using burlap/lace and babies breath.

I'm having a fall wedding. Shoot me

"rustic" weddings, hay barrels as seating, jeans cowboy boot attire

wedding albums all being scrap books >.>

garters and garter tosses

I see it too often anymore, but I'm using burlap and lace - but in my defense, my reception is in the Wawona Hotel .. very vintage.

I'm also using chalkboards. Oops.

Unity anything. Seriously, we don't want to watch you do some cutesy arts and crafts project with your intended. We get it. You're unified. It's even worse when the whole family has to scatter their sand or whatever.

Instead, after our vows, we had our officiant do an affirmation of family and friends, where he asked them to support our marriage and be compassionate and help us if we ran into trouble. Everybody said I do, then began to cheer, which made me cry.

Shannon S. we did the same, the whole congregation had to do this cheesy "we do" to supporting us in our marriage from that day forth. That unity shit has got to go, vows aren't enough?!

King, we let our people respond with "we do" or noisemakers. It wound up about a 50-50 split.

I know a lot of people are tired of cowboys boots but that's what we're doing. I've worn cowboy boots my whole life, I even wore them under my graduation dress. I'm not spending money on shoes I'll wear once plus I'm way more comfortable in my boots (they're my something old)

Edit: my FH also wears them... And we live in Oklahoma

I'm pretty tired of "surprise" choreographed dances. It was cute that one time

Mason jars. Enough already!

I'm tired of seeing head tables from the 90's. Where the bride and groom and wedding party are raised up on a platform and there is tulle and Christmas lights draped around it. They are so outdated. WP dates aren't "allowed" to sit there and you can't talk to anyone other than the person right next to you. There are so many other, more modern, options for seating and head table decor.

The only unity ceremony I saw that amused me was at a Persian wedding. The bride and groom sat in chairs while various family members sprinkled sugar and honey on them. I'm sure they felt like a pair of Krispy Kreme glazed donuts by the end.

Also, destination weddings. HATE. I have limited vacation time and money, and am not interested in dropping thousands of dollars to indulge anyone's beach wedding fantasy.

I am sooo tired and sick of seeing the country shabby chic look! Burlap, lace and babies breath! I'm soooooo done and over it! I feel it has been a trend for too long. ( I work in the bridal industry part time)

Its making my wedding planning/ décor harder to figure out and find.

But I'm using the hashtag for my wedding and instagram.

Sorry to any ladies that are using it, not trying to offend anymore. Just my opinion.

Having a basket of flip flops for guests to wear (fortunately this seems to be going by the wayside)

Entertaining guests - why isn't dinner and dancing enough anymore?

I cannot think of anything pinteresty that I am tired of other than having only games at the wedding. I could see this in the rehearsal dinner afterwards or something, but I wouldn't want people to be playing games off separately during the wedding, but that's just me. I am semi-bummed that the idea I had of rustic vineyard theme is super super popular right now, when I first told my parents about it 5 years ago it was much less. But I am not changing what I want just because of that. I guess what I am tired of, is having a theme like burlap, lace, mason jars, when it is not you...and that they're just trying to do a trendy thing. If you have never used mason jars before your wedding, you shouldn't have them then.

so I am still doing painted wine bottles, mason jars, cork place cards. The cool thing is that I didn't have to spend anything on any of that other than ribbon&flower petals, my dad has about 300 mason jars because we're big canners to begin with.

I really wanted/was going to do the Mason jar thing until I discovered we could not use glass at our venue (park owned). My main reason was I wanted to tie ribbon around the handles and use cute straws. I guess we will get stuck with boring Solo cups now lol!

Signage everywhere is a little weird...it can be super cute, but if I have to go out of my way to make a sign telling guests where the bathroom is when the standard "Men" and "Women" signs are already there, it's not worth my time!

I think photobooths fall into the "overdone" category, but we still booked one and I'm super excited! It was supposed to be a surprise, but FH let it slip to some friends on New Year's and they were all excited for it. Knowing our friends (and much of our family!), there will be a line to that thing!

I'm still using a burlap and lace aisle runner, because it's outside and it's either that or no runner. Also, we're lining the aisle with galvanized buckets filled with baby's breath. Sue me. Haha. I don't care, it's going to look nice and goes with our venue.

What I hate most is just generic wedding crap. No personalization, no creativity, just crap the wedding industry pushes on you that you think you need. (Chargers, plastic crap with hearts all over it, jordan almonds, etc)

I'm so sick of the whole rustic wedding themes and mason jars. Oh and the lanterns. When I open Pinterest the first 20 pins are all rustic themed. All the cutsy signs are getting to be too much everywhere, however my RB is caring one because yes... I thought it was cute.

Sick of "themes". Just pick a style and color scheme and stick with it. It doesn't have to be "Hollywood Glam" or "Shabby Chic" or "Alice in Wonderland" or whatever other themes there are.

I don't go on Pinterest so not sure if I'm doing any so-called trends except maybe a photo booth. I know a lot of events have those, but we're set on it

Sick of:

Bridal party dancing in to the reception to 10 different songs. I want my food.

Candy buffets

Signs and explanations for every single thing

Doing anyway:

Mason jars (I actually can, and we use them as drinking glasses in our house...)

Our BP is entering to music but no dancing. The BP enters to John Cena's theme from WWE, and FH and I enter to Rick Flare's theme (feel free to judge us)

Unity ceremony (family tradition to reuse the candle at the first child's baptism)

Head table (my mother INSISTED)

@Nay - love it! I freaked out the first time I watched My Fair Wedding because I didn't know I was "supposed" to have a theme. Luckily, my family talked me out of my panic and assured me that themes are not necessary...
