© Getty It seems mean spirited to bag on someone’s big day, but let’s face it – weddings can be kind of annoying. From the organised fun at the £200-a-head hen do to the black tie dress code and never ending speeches, weddings don’t always make you feel like your heart is about to burst with love. In 2019, weddings have gone into overdrive, now costing an average of £17,674 each in the UK and the most elaborate they become, the more we eyeroll at OTT invites and excruciating choreographed dances.
Research by jewellery retailer Goldsmiths asked 1000 people in the UK how they really felt about wedding trends from the traditional to the newest crazes and it turns out a lot of us find the same things awful, even if we are too polite to say in public.
Brides on a budget reveal how they had TWO wedding ceremonies for £2,000 by making bouquets out of comic books, borrowing a dress and making a 'DIY doughnut wall'
Brides on a budget reveal how they had TWO wedding ceremonies for £2,000 by making bouquets out of comic books, borrowing a dress and making a 'DIY doughnut wall' . Lisa Garwood-Cross, 27, and her wife Steph, 25, from Manchester, had their first date in February 2016 after meeting on Tinder and both ended up proposing on the same day in March 2017. Their top priority was to buy their own house before they got married, so they decided to put together a thrifty wedding without compromising the size of it, as they wanted to make sure all of their loved ones could attend.
The Most Hated Wedding Trends of 2019 Prove We Are A Bunch Of Cynics . Actually, the official Cambridge dictionary explanation of a Celebrant is , ' A person who leads a ceremony such as a wedding , or funeral', so it's a fairly straightforward answer it seems!
Eco friendly weddings are a newer trend , but one the earth is incredibly grateful for! Thanks to people like Princess Eugenie, who opted to blame Here are some ideas for an environmentally friendly wedding .

© Getty Perhaps the most surprising finding was that despite the fact that you know at least one guy who insisted on a three-day “epic” stag in Vegas, a fifth of men stated that they strongly dislike stag dos and would prefer not to partake at all – due to the ever-increasing costs (flights, hideous t-shirts, strippers) and the extravagances (and broken limbs) that often come with them.
The survey also found that while more than half of the married couples they asked had a church wedding, they would not consider themselves to be religious in the slightest. Maybe they just really like stained glass windows and hymns.
The stuff we all hate most though are complicated hashtags (43.5%) which we can all agree are pointless, closely followed by doughnut walls (37.2%) and confusing poems in the invite (37.2%).

The Most Hated Wedding Trends of 2019 Prove We Are A Bunch Of Cynics . It seems mean spirited to bag on someone’s big day, but let’s face it – weddings can be kind of annoying. From the organised fun at the £200.
Many wedding gowns tend to have insanely intricate work done by hand, are limited in number, and I actively hate this trend . It's just so extraordinarily wasteful! I honestly think I would judge anyone I I am a Millennial and I used to think I wanted a huge wedding with all the “traditional” elements but
© Getty As for the stuff we love at weddings – good food, obviously. 17% of those asked say dessert tables were by far the best part of the big day (can’t argue with that) and people really appreciate a food truck (31.8%) too. We also like fireworks, photo booths and wedding favours apparently.
Finally, the nail in the coffin that proves we really are a bunch of hard-hearted cynics, cake in the face style photos do not go down well and having your pet as a ring bearer was deemed to be one of the most hated wedding trends, with 36% of those asked not even able to muster a little joy when they see a dachshund in a tux coming up the aisle.

We struggle to recall what weddings were like before Pinterest. It was that dark time when we couldn't create digital mood boards years before any potential nuptials. We had nothing but time, since we weren't endlessly scrolling through DIY bouquets, letterpress invites, or over-the-top lace dresses. Don't get us wrong, we love the inspiration hub, but sometimes it's a bit much — an aspirational black hole, if you will.
Emmys 2019: Gwendoline Christie of 'Game of Thrones' called Jesus
Twitter bowed down to Gwendoline Christie's showstopping Emmys gown.Many users compared Christie, who is nominated for the first time for best supporting actress in a drama series, to religious figures. She wore a Gucci cruise 2020 cream, satin long sleeve boat neck gown – including lion head metal medallions. It looked like something people might have worn in ancient Rome, and Twitter was quick to notice.

C. Many famous places of interest in Moscow become magical in the winter. Red Square is one of the first places to go to. With the snow falling gently, Saint There is a giant skating rink every winter in Red Square and many smaller rinks throughout the city. There are many other winter sports that are
We're not saying we want to go back to those simpler days, but we need some editing. And, that's where Elizabeth Muhmood Kane comes in, the founder of the blog Bridal Musings and a Pinterest power player with roughly 3.5 million followers. Yeah, we said million. In other words, her take on changing wedding trends is definitely worth her weight in flower crowns. And, it makes her board very much worth a follow. We turned to her and fellow blog editor Claire Byrne for their solemn vow of what's in, what's out, and the best ways to use the sensory overload site. All their tips (and plenty of pretty things) to follow.
Do you expect the DIY craze to continue?
Claire Byrne: "I think it will, but I think couples will get a little pickier over what projects are worthwhile, and which they undertake themselves. There has been a big surge in wedding stylists — wonderful, creative professionals who will work with you to add the personal touches of a DIY wedding, without the months of glitter and glueing."
What trend is officially dead (or should be in your opinion)?
Elizabeth Muhmood Kane: "The ‘one style fits all’ bridesmaids dress. Your friends are all different shapes, sizes, skin tones, and ages. Each has their own unique style, so why make them wear the exact same outfit? (A fashion faux pas at every other occasion!) Create a cohesive look by having your maids wear the same color or complementary shades, but let them choose their own dress styles. It’ll make for much happier bridesmaids!"
What was your own wedding like?
EMK: "My wedding was very English. It took place at a period venue straight out of a Jane Austen novel. There was an abundance of roses, lace, blush pink, and soft candlelight, and a hint of my husband’s Arabic heritage with mint tea and Moroccan lanterns.
"The groomsmen didn’t wear the ridiculously expensive ties I bought, the chicken was dry, the peonies in my bouquet started to wilt, and I forgot my overnight bag so I had to do the 'walk of shame' in my wedding dress through a fancy hotel lobby the next morning! But, none of those little things that I thought mattered actually did. I married the love of my life and partied the night away surrounded by love and laughter. I'd say that was a rather successful wedding, wouldn't you?"
What are your top dos and don'ts so your guests have a blast?
CB: "Entertainment is a big area that a lot of couples don’t put as much thought into as other areas, but it can make all the difference for your guests. While I think a DIY iPod DJ can work great for the wee hours, if you think you have guests who will hit the dance floor, then a great band can really make the party.
"My other tip for a great guest experience is simply to get people talking and mingling. That’s what makes the atmosphere at a wedding. So, whether that’s having the cocktail hour before the ceremony, including activities or party games, or simply arranging your seating plan to mix things up, all guests want is to share your day with you while they catch up with old friends and find common ground with new ones."
What's the decor move of the moment?
EMK: "It’s all about the statement floral arch or calligraphed backdrop — perfect for photo ops!"
For food and drinks?
EMK: "The cake table/candy buffet of recent years has paved the way for lots more creative self-serve bars and stations, such as ice-cream, granola, and pancakes — basically anything that requires a mix of ingredients or toppings.
And, cocktails?
"The focus is not just on ingredients, but on how they are displayed. We love the idea of a ‘bubbly bar’ complete with calligraphy cut-out sign or a whiskey and cigar station where guests are served hand-rolled and cut cigars. And, you can’t beat late-night eats from a food truck — whether it’s pulled pork subs, paella, or snow cones."
What's your philosophy for using Pinterest?
EMK: "There's the temptation to pin anything and everything that looks remotely pretty. But, you can’t show your florist your bouquets board with 200 different bouquets and have her understand your vision clearly. You need to curate and edit your ideas. I suggest starting a secret board where you are only allowed to pin five images max for each of the key areas of your wedding (dresses, invitations, hairstyles, bridesmaid dresses, etc.). Be ruthless about it and it should really help you to hone in on the ideas that you and your partner really love."
What's by the far the most insane wedding you've featured on your site?
EMK: "We featured the princess of Qatar's wedding which was pretty incredible — although we weren’t allowed to share photos of the bridal party or guests, which was a shame. Lavish does not even begin to describe it."
Can you break down the types of brides?
CB: "I think the phrase 'Bridezilla' has actually been a little damaging for brides. They’re so terrified of being slated as one. Brides should know it’s okay to care about and be excited about their weddings! Bridechilla is the bride who doesn't want to seem too obsessed with her wedding that she struggles to make any plans at all. That’s something I’m definitely seeing a rise in among my own friends.
"There is, of course, the DIY bride (who’ll skip her pre-wedding facial and blow torch her table numbers onto wood carvings). There’s the Bohobride (no flower crown is too big), the Vintage bride (who’ll recreate her Downton Abbey backdrop to the most minute detail), and the Classic bride (chic, timeless style à la Kate Middleton).
"But, of course, with inspiration so accessible to brides (and, just as importantly, grooms) now, the biggest 'type' we’re seeing is a cross between them all."
