Too Trendy

Are you as sick of trendy weddings as me? Those "unique and personal" touches that show up over and over again in wedding photos? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because oftentimes they don't seem make sense! Sure, it probably made sense to that first bride who did something cool and different, but 100 iterations later, it's just evidence that these poor brides have suffered from Way Too Much Wedding Syndrome! Sometimes I can't help but laugh when I imagine some lazy wedding planner convincing his/her clients the he/she is so "creative" and actually charging money for these recycled ideas!

So without further ado, I introduce to you my newest series, Too Trendy. Each post will highlight one of these trends that have the potential to steer our special days off course and into the Way Too Much Wedding category.

Today's inaugural trend is.......

The Mustache Picture!

Who are you? A quirky, outer-borough hipster who loves kitschy art, independent film and above all, being different. Though, based the evidence, there seems to be a glut of "different". And really? Is the mustache something important to you? Do you covet the mustache (but not enough to marry someone with a real mustache)? Does it really warrant a special shout out on your most special day?

So unless all of the above are true for you, steer clear of the mustache pics! They are so done. A wedding is your day- make it truly personal and if you want to spend money on extra touches, choose ones that are meaningful to you!

That's all for today :)


*Disclaimer: While I may be poking fun at a trend, I am including photos from photographers, many of whom I admire greatly, and in no way mean to degrade their art. Nor do I doubt that these are lovely brides and grooms who have worked with lovely vendors. But WTMW Syndrome can happen to anyone- so beware!
