"It will make your wedding feel dated in a year or two" Your wedding WILL be dated in a year or 2

@saracosta2146 2 months ago

trendy or not, EVERYONE’s wedding will be dated. it’s natural. even fighting the trends is just doing too much, in my opinion. do whatever you want and be happy.

@radhiadeedou8286 2 months ago

What's this obsession with things being dated? If your wedding is in 2026 it will look like it happened in 2026 and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that

Why are we so concerned with wedding dresses being dated? Im all for getting a dress independent from whats trendy but its ok to wear a dress that reflects the current year

@gabrielleeeeeeeeee 2 months ago

You mentioned several times that you avoided things because you didn't want them to look "dated" in a few years...honestly, I don't think this is a productive lens. Even the most so-called "timeless" wedding looks end up looking dated. I don't think I've ever seen a single wedding photo where you can't pinpoint the decade or even 5-year range it was taken during. Weddings are events that are products of the society and social mores of the time. Plus there is something to be said about trends being trendy for a reason--often they're downright clever or just attractive. I don't think that many people are mindlessly going against their own best judgement because it's a TikTok trend.

the "resurrgence" of cigarettes feels like coming back of 00s heroine chic back, with the appetite supression and appeal to analog ringing very disturbingly in 2026

My fiancee proposed last month and I literally deleted Pinterest and have worked so hard to steer clear of any algorithm input for our wedding, just buying second hand books and looking to movies/archives and our own life for inspiration! I feel like every wedding I see on social media has absolutely no indication of the couples personality

I work in a bridal shop and our best seller is a dress that not 1 but 2 big influencers wore for their weddings, to each their own and it looks pretty but coming in with the intention of buying the exact dress and accessories that the influencer wore is more common than you’d expect

I hate the take of not wanting something trendy in favor of something “timeless”. I don’t believe anything is truly timeless and there’s also nothing wrong at looking back at your wedding and seeing the era that it happened in (I love looking at photos from the past that encapsulate the time period).

Hoping to see some sustainable wedding content soon LOL we need to be influenced to do less and make it more human!!

As someone whose “traditional” wedding got cancelled because of Covid, I am SO glad I never had a standard wedding. We ended up having a micro wedding in the park where my fiancée and I spent most of our dating life. My best friend was our Officiant. I played kickball with my best friends in my wedding dress and then when the sun set we hit up our favorite karaoke bar as an after party. It couldn’t have been more perfect and the whole event cost less than $2000 (dress, suit, food and booze).

As someone whose ideal wedding is going to the council office and be done with it i feel like i'm on enemy territory. I did not know that people did this much for weddings

@leenmeenandgreen 2 months ago

as someone who doesn’t want a wedding this is so interesting to me! The cigs at a wedding??? Wild. Also I agree about the projector thing, it feels too stylized to me

@HeartsinNYC 2 months ago

i find wedding merch to be so juvenile. if folks are getting married/attending weddings wearing swag with a wedding couple/date on it, it gives middle schooler rocking their classmate’s bar mitzvah hoodie

The cigarette bar immediately made me think of this new anime called Chainsmoker Cat and how much a smoking addiction had destroyed the main character's life. Smoking and depression aren't romanticized at all in the show, and I feel like anyone even THINKING of putting a cigarette bar in their wedding should watch the anime to see how much of a bad idea the entire concept is 😭

For my wedding we gave out hangover kits (Tylenol, an antacid, and an electrolyte pack). Everyone loved it especically since we still saw most people the next day for another party. We took the ones people didn't take with us for our honeymoon (helpful for the long flight/jet lag!

The only wedding favours I spent money on were customised matchboxes that turned out brilliantly and were a big hit. They aren't so overtly "wedding" looking and said, "nicked from the (our last names)" with the date in small print, then a bold graphic that was related to the theme. My friends and I love candles and they're super handy. I also had a lot left over, so they're dotted about my house and my friends took a good number. The cigarette / cigar thing is so weird to me...like is the tobacco industry paying influencers ? It's kind of crazy. I had a traditional, small church wedding with a beautiful meal at our favourite restaurant after with 25 people total. It was perfect! Brides, don't get swept up in spending your life savings on one day and the comparison game of it all.

@sparrowweaver 2 months ago

worrying about trends becoming dated kind of feels like it’s giving into the consumerism cycle, brands have DEFINITELY caught onto people being “sick of the trend cycle “ and they’ve been relentlessly marketing things as being “more timeless” or more recently, “more personal”. I understand wanting to avoid getting sucked into buying something because it’s trendy, but I think the idea that clothes display your values and you must buy good clothes to show that you have good values is a bit of a trap ngl

@thedrunkweddingphotographer 2 months ago

One thing worth mentioning for grooms to be, buy your suit. Do not rent it. Even something from Indochino or Suit Supply, can easily last you a handful of years if not more with proper care and can be used for a friend's wedding, interview, date night, funeral if it's black, or to the office as a semi daily. Rentals cost about the same as a made to measure suit anyway, so might as well spend a little extra on it and use it for other occasions.

Side note, I would rather see a groom get a suit from the thrift store, have it tailored, than wear an oversized rental suit to their own wedding.

your short dress with the straight-across neckline is very of its time. but that's beautiful!! like others have said, if you love it, you should embrace that it's a time capsule :))
