themed outfits for bachelorette parties. it’s expensive enough to go on this trip please do not make me have to shop to find clothes for multiple coordinated outfits a day..

but actual wedding trend- the blurry photos. a few motion vibe shots are fun but in the future people are going to regret not having just real clear photos

Sage green bridesmaid dresses. I’m biased though bc I’m a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and the sage green dress isn’t super flattering on me.


I’m also tired of shots instead of a champagne toast. We get it, you’re a ~fun~ couple, but don’t make me knock back McGillicuddy’s before dinner.

Focusing on throwing an insta/Pinterest worthy wedding and forgetting the whole point of a wedding. Blowing your budget to have all the “must have items.” Spending more than a down payment/what some people make in a year on a single day.

All the things saying bride and groom. So wasteful once wedding is over.

Wedding favors with your name and date. No one needs another bottle opener, coaster, koozie etc with the names and date of someone else’s wedding.

4+ day international bach parties.

Matching bridesmaid jewelry and matching robes/clothes for getting ready or matching things for the Bach party. We really don’t need a 5th robe saying bridesmaid or another pair of faux earrings or matching shoes no one will wear again.

Stationary for formal weddings considering of 5+ pages and tissue paper sheets etc. that all go in the trash anyway. Seriously a friend spent 10k just on stationary for formal invites and save the dates and I honestly felt bad throwing it all away lol.

Basically all the stuff that is super wasteful and adds up quick. It’s so over the top these days and unnecessary. So much waste involved.

Unpopular opinion: Wedding Cake.

Unless you’re paying out the rear, your cake is likely going to be just okay. Finger desserts or even donuts are way cheaper and much more delicious.

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
