Oh, my gosh, this one is going to get me in trouble….

But I’m just so over the burlap the Mason jars the whole, like, rustic eucalyptus vibes from a wedding planner’s perspective.

Can we please get rid of all of the wedding dresses that no one can walk in?

There is one wedding tradition I would love to see. Get the ax it’s the old school wedding corsage.

The one that needs to get eliminated is QR codes on your wedding stationery.

Can I get a big C ya never On the bride being handed over to the groom by her dad.

This little trend is annoying.

The wedding tradition that I wish would go away forever is sparkler exits.

Now give it up for your maid of honor and best man… can we not?

The new ish trend for weddings that I want to go away forever is bridesmaid first looks.

Hey, hey, hey a goodbye. That’s what I wish would happened to the Garter toss.

It’s uncomfortable for 95% of the people there. Some grooms don’t know how to dance, and it just becomes weird. Some brides are like, My parents are looking. You’re going up my dress. Let’s get rid of the garter toss.

It makes sense with the groom or even with the bride’s dad, but the bridesmaids are there to help you get ready. What ends up happening is you totally get some faces of your bridesmaids, like, Oh, my God. But like, most of them are faking it because they know what you look like. They’ve already seen your hair. They may have helped you pick up the dress just let them be in the moment and let it happen.

I am so, so, so. Over wedding party introduction, they take wasted time. That’s not necessary to line everybody up and the time it takes to introduce each couple. They’re cringey they’re awkward, and nobody’s planned it. Not to mention the couple doesn’t even get to watch what’s happening half the time. Please, let’s just stop doing wedding party introductions altogether.

Most of the amazing sparkler exit photos that you see are completely staged. They’re not actually an exit because let’s be honest, if you wait until the end of the night after you and all of your guests have been enjoying your signature cocktails, do you really want to make people responsible for flammable objects? No, no, we do not. No we should not. Sparkler exits need to go away.

Let the couples, kiss whenever they want. Don’t be forcing them to be kissing every few minutes. And that’s my little annoying trend that I would like to see you go away. It’s just. It just annoying.

Now, I know traditionally when we run our rehearsals were supposed to put the bride’s hand into her father’s and have him hand her over to her groom where she’s then brought to the altar. But it’s 2023, y’all. We are not living in a day and age where anybody is anyone property. We’re not exchanging dowry. We’re bringing villages together here. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve had a bride looked at. It’s like, Excuse me. What? We are big girls. We are walking into this relationship of our own free will and we do not need to be handed off by our daddies to our groom, though if I have one trend to say it’s not a go, it’s the bride handoff.

When think of QR codes, I think of restaurants, I think of bars, I think of alcohol menus. They do not belong on your wedding stationery. Why would you have your grandma pick up her phone and try and scan a QR code RSVP? There’s so many other ways that you can get everybody to RSVP online. It’s just not necessary. If you’re looking for a way to eliminate stuff and save a buck, ask us. We can help you with that. The QR codes and your wedding stationery, they just do not belong together. 

The old school wedding corsage. I mean, whether you’re having people pin it to their gown or wear it on their wrist, allocate that money elsewhere. And trust me, the women in your family will thank you for not obligating them to wear 20 lbs of ribbon as they walk down the aisle for your ceremony.

Get rid of all of the wedding dresses that no one can walk in. The brides don’t like them. The bridesmaids don’t like them. Photographers hate them because they have to edit all the dirt and all the things off of them. But all these brides keep buying these dresses that are gorgeous and they spend all this money on and then they have to take 30 minutes out of their wedding day and bustle them, fix them up, stain remove them. All this stuff they can’t see their cute shoes they bought. If I had to pick something to get rid of the long dresses that no one can walk in.

it’s time to just move on from rustic eucalyptus vibes 20 years from now, when you look back at your photos, they’re going to just look outdated. I’m all for timeless and romantic. Let’s make sure you love your photos forever and let’s move on.
