The worst wedding trends on Pinterest...

AuroraRose41

@badbnagdway unfortunately she has been acting like a bridezilla lately, so I don't think this is sarcastic. Planning her own OTT 70+ person shower and demanding all bridesmaids to pay for it, demanding that our hair, nails, makeup, shoes, and jewelry look a certain way and is not planning on paying for it, and blew up at me for "not calling" when I had to cancel dress shopping due to a family emergency (I sent her a text an hour before we were supposed to leave...I thought that was reasonable). I'm taking notes as to what not to do to my friends when I ask them. 

ETA: I have tried to educate her on the proper etiquette of all of these things, and she accused me of "criticizing her choices".....and I have directed her here many times. I just don't think that there is any hope. Also, I live OOT from where her wedding will be, and told her prior to this trip that I found places already near where I live that carry the dresses she picked, so it's not like I just didn't care about it.

That's unfortunate. I have a bridezilla friend as well who I have tried to gently educate on certain things, like not planning her own destination bachelorette. It seems there is no reasoning with certain people.

The ones that drive me nuts are like "simple ideas for a winter wedding" and it's BAM.. check out my glam, glitter, and everything draped in silver.. yeah, because THAT'S simple.. Or "DIY wedding ideas on a budget" yep.. until you total the amount you will spend on supplies but good try pinterest!

It's always how to recycle some object or supply you have in your house to save money but that object is either something you actually use and don't want to ruin or it's something nobody has and have to buy it.


Unless you preserve food, nobody should have 180 mason jars lying around to recycle for wedding crafts. Lol!

I cringe every time I see something referring to bridesmaids as the "bride's bitches" or see anything asking them to be a bridesmaid and using the phrase "hold my dress while I pee" on Pinterest.  Am I the only one?

AuroraRose41

@mrsdee15 nope! I also cringe whenever I see those things. Which is why my jaw dropped when my so called friend posted shirts on her board about the bride being the boss. No, that's not how it works.

Totally agree, I haven't seen those before and when I did, I thought this:

Everyone dogging these amazing ideas I used Pinterest to plan my wedding exclusively.

-Theme is Rustic Goth, black tie optional, guests required to wear cowboy boots so my pictures look right. Invitation will indicate this.

-We're getting matching ombre chevron tattoos on our butts, which we will showcase in our "morning after" photos on our honeymoon bed. Possible burlap cover for FI's junk. How cute!

-My bridesmaids are mason jars named Tiffany, groomsmen are action figures hanging from shepard hooks

-A mason jar will also be balanced precariously on my ass like Kim Kardashian for our honeymoon jar

-Guest favors are full size hay bales covered in black glitter and possibly our monogram made from bent wire.  **The wire monograms will be a great group project for guests to keep busy during the long gap between ceremony and reception

-Midgets covered in chalkboard paint as escort cards.

-The wedding party will also use chalkboard paint as eyeliner/guyliner.

-Instead of speaking, our officiant will be given signs with cutesy creepy poems to hold up. No ones allowed to speak but the bride and groom LIKE IT SHOULD BE. Guests will love this since everything will be captured in pictures. But not from them, they will be required to deposit their cell phones in an old wine barrel prior to being seated. They can't be trusted to "not be in the moment"

-We will do a dress-caught-in-panties picture with my mother, who is 300lbs, and totally game.

-Instead of wedding cake, guests can go ahead and eat the burlap decorations using the plastic fangs we provide that say "love at first bite" etched with our wedding date

Its going to be so perfect.

Oh my God, you're totally stealing my wedding! Except we covered every single surface with spray glitter. It was magical.

@lovemesomemonster I specialize in the uber tacky lets do it!

@Cookie Pusher- HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY PINS!! Spray glitter usage noted. Perhaps the guests would like to sparkle too

Please note: I also require large ice sculptures acting out the "wedding night" on every table in case people are wondering, and pink fur lining the aisle (if we can add pom poms and glitter to my shoes as well that would be great). I will also need someone to follow me around all night with a smoke machine to make sure it looks like I'm walking on clouds everywhere I go and a spotlight so nobody is confused about who the day is for...

The smoke machine is a fabulous effect. It billows under the dress and looks amazing when paired with flatulence. May I also suggest a fundraiser where guests are allowed to kiss your feet for $10?

I'll do the ice sculptures but only if they depict raunchy sex positions because they're more "arty." The Wheelbarrow has been a hit at previous weddings. Also, your WP will be honored to follow you around with a spotlight, adding a strobe provides an ethereal effect as well. Guests will gush for months

Pfft, you stole MY PINS since I got married in July. Now we'll have to have a hipster mustache drawing contest to see whose wedding really reigns supreme!

Yes I just LOVE the fundraiser, but I suggest we up it to $20, these tootsies will have a beautiful pedicure and I wouldn't want to undercharge for the privilege of getting that close to them. I will give you a list of approved positions we will be performing that night, can we incorporate whips in the decor? Please add a $5 charge for every conversation anyone would like to have with me, I will be busy being fabulous so we will up it to $10 if the conversation is not about me. In addition to my WP following me with the spotlight I will also require a lighted portrait of me above the head table where people are required to gaze upon my beauty

Yep, i think that will pretty much do it.

Its too late, I've already whined to everyone I know that you're a copycat and my special snowflake day is spoiled so daddy doubled the budget so I can afford more chintzy crap like a chandelier made out of the bones of the orphans that died handsewing my 140ft glitter veil.

@yogadevil, when I read the first line, I thought you were serious about Rustic Goth!  People tag rustic on to so many things, goth is bound to come up some time!

My friend pinned this on Pinterest as a Valentine's Day gift/craft for her kids.  However, she didn't change the caption.

The caption is "Crayon hearts. So cute. Cut them up, put in mode. 230 degrees (I am assuming that is F) for 15 mins. Then cool Wedding favors? With a card that says thank you for coming, you color my world"  I don't know who in the world would think this is a good idea, unless you're only inviting children to your wedding.  I don't think I've even touched a crayon in over a decade.  What in the world is an adult supposed to do with this?

velvethelicopters

Aww, I love crayons! But I admit to being weird, plus the stupid multi colored crayons bug me.

Also, temp thing is goofy. Maybe it from using thicker molds, but that low temp for short time wouldn't do much. I melt crayons into parchment lined muffin tins, so they're pretty thick. Makes it much easier to grip for my daughters. I usually melt crayons down in a double boiler, because the chunk method leaves solid chunks in the middle.
