The worst wedding trends on Pinterest...

AuroraRose41

Just found this lovely gem of a quote on a aqua blue wedding themed pin:

"The only thing blue at your wedding should be the Tiffany's box your big ass diamond ring comes in!"

....I just can't with the entitlement.

Unnecessary signs... We know the bride is coming, shes right behind you. We know you're the bride since you are wearing a wedding dress. And I don't think anything that has to do with the groom "running away" is ever funny or appropriate... 

**Stuck in box**

I'm sorry, but WTF is going on with that flower girl dress?!? It's like they cut off the skirt, took away the bodice, and pulled the skirt up around her armpits!

ETA: words are hard.

Yes!  I hate those types of dresses that are all over Pinterest for little girls.  They're just weird looking and also inappropriate, IMO.

That burlap cake looks awful, like everyone has said all I can think of are fibers in the frosting. Bleh.

Someone just posted on FB about their friends wedding and tagged it "bohemian wedding" and I had to refrain from commenting about how it looked like a pinterest wedding.

They had a perfectly nice country club and it looks like it has plain wooden walls. For some reason they put white sheets up everywhere, torn colored fabric across the ceiling in strips underneath the ceiling fans, mason jars and milk bottles as vases, and the best part is, behind the bride and grooms table. On the white sheets that cover the walls and look weird [like white bedsheets hung on walls], they put string lights and then randomly hung empty white photo frames. I don't even get what they were going for, it just looks ridiculously ugly.

Totally inappropriate. They're often see-through at the top, or barely covering. IMO, little girls don't belong in strapless, halter or spaghetti strap dresses.

Also.... this.  Why?  Why why why why why?



The caption underneath it read: "Painted sticks for the reception tables. How easy and perfect?!"

YES, HOW EASY AND PERFECT.  DIP SOME CRAP IN A GALLON OF SHERWIN WILLIAMS AND CALL IT A CENTERPIECE.

Yeah, where would anyone ever get the idea that see through wedding attire is remotely appropria--

I especially appreciate how they described them as "sticks." If your going to dip random crap in paint, at least know that they're antlers.

Right?!?! Painted STICKS?! Another case of NEVER having done anything remotely "rustic/outdoorsy/hunter-y/whatever" yet want to appropriate things that aren't theirs. RAGE.

There's this movie I love called Latter Days. In it one of the characters has empty picture frames hanging up in his apartment. When you listen to the commentary they explain they choose to do that because he had a fairly empty life, just partying and casual sex, no real meaning or emotion. Later in the film, when he falls in love and starts doing some volunteer work, we see the picture frames have photos. Because now his life isn't empty. So every time I see the empty picture frame thing I just think of it symbolizing an empty life. Which is probably not the message you want at your wedding.

I think those are extremely cool for wall art in a home (Mainly the top two, don't care so much for the bottom) granted that the rest of the decor matches.  And I'm pretty sure from the photos that they were totally intended to be used as wall art rather than centerpieces, and that some dummy decided to make it a wedding thing.  I know those are antlers, but this actually gave me an idea for a nifty pendant light if I take some sticks, paint them, and kinda layer them around the light bulb.  

But I feel like for a wedding centerpiece, that's just weird.  I'll admit I'm totally into the whole idea of an outdoor kinda woodsy/woodland thing, and my ideal venue is a campsite with a giant bonfire pit,  but even I wouldn't just have random sticks all over the tables.  I hate how Pinterest tends to take cute ideas (In this case "Outdoorsy" stuff at a wedding) and take them way too far.

Yes, yes!  This was my thought process exactly!

Damn, I'll be doing this. Has meaning to us though.

Gee, I wonder where all these SS brides get these ideas?

So if I only have a MOH who I just expect to show up in a black dress mostly sober or not pissy about her hangover, do I get a do over?

I'm confused: how is the ring bearer/page supposed to precede the flower girl (who precedes the bride) and also carry the train of the wedding dress? Are there "supposed" to be two of them? I have never seen someone carry the brides train, although I've only been to 4 weddings in my life, so I'm not very wedding savvy.

The page does one or the other, not both.

@inkdancer That makes sense (and I probably could have figured that out myself if I would have taken the time to think about it). Thanks for the clarification.

I'm blaming Pinterest for a conversation I had to have last night that made me want to drink all the alcohol. 

Girl asks me what my wedding theme is. I say we don't really have a theme but we're going for a modern look, maybe with a rock n' roll vibe (based on color scheme). Then Girl asks, but modern what? Modern Rustic? Modern Vintage? Modern Hipster? She informs me I can't just have a "modern" as a look. So I managed to remember that someone said our home was decorated in a urban modern vibe, so I said modern urban. She said that was boring because urban and modern were the same and I should do something more creative. 

And then I started drinking. Fucking Pinterest.

Now, here we have actual sticks, from a UK event design house called Pocket Full of Dreams. This attractive bundle of WTF is artfully "inspired by Native American Culture."

Which totally explains the elephant.

Marzipan13

@ohannabelle  "Inspired by Native American culture"??  WOW.  How terribly offensive.  Native American culture is much more rich and meaningful than a bunch of sticks dipped in paint.  Clearly these people wanted to throw some / any "ethnicity" into their wedding, which is sincerely wrong.

Marzipan13

THIS, additionally:

I hate this picture.  I've always hated this picture.  Maybe it's just a "racy" shot for the groom to keep?  Still hate it.   Why?

It looks like those are the groom's legs on backwards.

Yes, offensive. And the fact that anyone in England would choose "Native American culture" as a design scheme is just baffling. Because design should make sense. Some kind of sense.

When I see this picture, I think, "When Strippers Get Married."

Marzipan13

@ohannabelle  Maybe there should be a picture in the reverse?  A picture over the groom's back, with the bride giving him a wedgie?

In addition to the general tackiness of it all...WHY THE HELL ARE THEY IN BLACK AND WHITE? MAKING RANDOM PORTIONS OF A PICTURE DOES NOT MAKE IT ARTSY! 

VulgarGirl

Yeah the ground and them are black and white, then the brick is in color and her shoes and garter. I like when black and white photos have a touch of color, like they did in Sin City. But this is just bad Photoshop.

Hahaha, I totally would have said something snarky about their theme being "Pinterest chic".
