The worst wedding trends on Pinterest...
Do you agree or disagree? What trends do you guys hate?

Re: The worst wedding trends on Pinterest...
I have a problem with all the BM duties lists, who pays for what lists, have-guests-address-their-own-thankyou, and that kind of thing.
Oh, and i definitely disagree with the first one, Mumford and Sons is probably my favorite band
I also hate any of the groom being dragged to the alter humor. I get that it's a joke, but I just don't think it's funny. Any "last chance to run," "Bride is finally getting what she wants" "Groom is getting a ball and chain" humor falls totally flat for me, and seems offensive. Like, look at this:

<div>YES! I totally forgot about these. You're right. I find them incredibly tasteless.</div>
[QUOTE]I agree with the above poster that stylistic stuff doesn't bother me that much. What DOES drive me nuts on Pinterest, however is: - super young girls who have amassed thousands of ideas for their "future wedding" before they can even legally get married. I guess most of us thought about what we'd like "one day", but Pinterest enables all sorts of unhealthy obsessing. - pinning a ton of contrived "must have" pics. I can't imagine the day of my wedding wanting to stand there for hours while the photographer precisely places one of our rings in the foreground so he can get us in the middle of it kissing in the background. *huge eye roll* - 4+ carat rings with tags like "so simple and dainty! Some day ... " (generally pinned by the demographic in #1) - lists of ridiculous bridesmaid duties. ("Have one of your bridesmaids carry a tray of bottled beer to the groomsmen before the ceremony!") Ain't no one got time for that -3D wedding "nail art" So many things make me ragey on Pinterest, but that's all I've got for now.

AMEN!! I don't know which of these I agree with more! The huge rings especially kill me. News flash, not everyone can afford a $30k diamond.
@Angel--I am doing mason jar centerpieces too! What are you doing with yours??
We are getting married at an orchard, pretty laid back in rustic style. I don't see anything wrong with using mason jars. In fact, it kind of helped to set the theme. Not everyone wants a black-tie grand ballroom wedding.
Totally agree with this as well

If a bride asked me to bare my backside for a picture, I would be completely dumbstruck. I mean, who says, "Hey friend, you know what this picture is missing? Your ass."

<div>What? I'm just dumbfounded, who wants a picture like that? </div><div>
</div><div>While I'm slightly disappointed we didn't do any funny pictures with our bridal party and the photographer, I just don't get that photo at all. </div><div>

[QUOTE].<strong> I HATE the burlap thing. I get it, you are country and down home, but that doesn't mean you can't get dressed up for your own wedding. Also, burlap and lace don't go. Lace is delicate, burlap is rough, and it isn't an interesting or artsy contrast, it is just silly. Either your decor is delicate and lacey, or you are preparing to ship coffee and potatoes, not both.</strong>

<div>^^^^^^^^^THIS!!!! </div><div>
</div><div>My wedding will be shabby chic for two reasons, one I like the way it looks and two, its affordable, but there is a way to do this in a classy way. And burlap is not part of the classy way. My FMIL keeps trying to work it in, (along with other DIY things that I'm not into) and so far I've averted her attempts... we will see how tomorrows planned journey to hobby lobby works out... </div>
I do think both of these pictures are amusing; I just can't imagine asking my BMs or being asked to pose for them.
The idea of that other picture particularly is fun, but I would not be the butt girl. I am pretty shy. I think I'd volunteer to be the champagne or tons-o-snacks girl.

WTF is this picture?? The first one is amusing - this one is trashy!

<div>I HATE the bare-ass one! Maybe I'm a bad friend, but I'd be like HELL NO if someone asked me to do that!</div>

I found a girl on kijiji who was selling a ton of them! So I got three different sizes, and I'm doing a grouping of 3 on each table with flowers from my FILs garden (he grows dahlias). I also really like that they're older ones that say "Canadian Mason Jar Company" on them instead of the just the typical modern ones

[QUOTE]Um... can we talk about the wedding pictures where the wedding party all covers their eyes while the bride and groom kiss. You are adults, not 6 years old. It is not cute.

ROFL! I love it!!<div>
</div><div>yeah the mason jar thing is def overplayed...I will admit.</div><div>
</div><div>And a SIGN for everything.</div><div>

My favourit is the pictures of the proposal with people writing comments like "Dear future fiance, YOU MUST GET A PHOTOGRAPHER TO PHOTOGRAPH THE PROSOAL"
.... or what? you'ill say no? I picture these ladies peeking around checking for a secret photographer and being incredibly dissapointed.

<div>For real. This drives me nuts. I'd hope you'd remember it just fine without photographic evidence. Although, my FI tells me he wishes someone had snapped my picture when he asked. He says it's the only time he's ever seen me speechless ;)</div>
