Wedding Trends to Abolish in 2012

By Millerweddings @phoebewedding
Over the last two days I have looked at up and coming trends for weddings in 2012. 


Colours and Flowers for 2012
Themes and Styling for 2012


Listed below are my top three trends I would like to see abolished. Please? I am all for trends, if it makes the couple happy then that is wonderful. However, there are few trends that have gained momentum over the last couple of years and I just don't understand why.

If you have never seen or used a typewriter, why are you having one? If you have no love for writing, why are you having one? Because everyone else has? Because they are pretty? Use something that you love! If you like travelling, have your guests write little notes on an old map of your favorite country, love fishing? Write on a cod (perhaps not, but you understand what I am saying?) Why pile up old books for centrepieces if you've never even heard of 80% of the authors or have no real interest in literature? In to music? Use old vinyls instead. Why have you got suitcases everywhere? Are you off traveling in the 1940s? Why are your guests sitting on hay-bales? Why?! 


Of course, there are some things you may never have seen before a wedding yet you have them, but lets not get pedantic.

Seriously, you do not look moody and cool. You look like a grumpy, ungrateful bride. How do you explain the above image to your grand-children? Why weren't you smiling? We learn to show our happiness from an early age through smiling so do it on your damn wedding day. There is nothing prettier than a smile, regardless of what you think about it.  It certainly does not look like it = ♥

I have said it before and I will say it again. Why pick gerberas as your wedding flowers? They have no redeeming qualities? There are SO MANY beautiful flowers to choose from so stop it. 


Any other wedding trends that annoy you or you would like to see rid of?
