Too Trendy

This week's trend is.... wait for it.... wait for it.... wait another hundred years for it...


Antique Furniture Outdoors!

I might have alluded to my frustration with this emerging trend in yesterday's post, but I really do think this warrants its very own Too Trendy spotlight. And yes, I totally blame faux wedding shoots for this one.

You: Are more of a George Clooney than a Jake Gyllenhaal kinda gal. You buy jeans with pre-made holes, drink out of jam jars, have at least one room in your home that looks like it's from an Anthropologie catalog and fail to see the humor in Portlandia.

But you just can't decide whether to have your wedding in an historic mansion or outdoors! Now you can do both! Bring the living room, kitchen, hell bring the whole attic too! Old things are so full of mystery, character and charm. Other people's old things that you rented from a musty warehouse in Queens and had carted in by brawny Italian men must have all the more mystery, character and charm! Why is there an old clock on top of a stack of suitcases? Only your wedding planner knows!

This trend sure does look warm, homey and effortless doesn't it? But in the timeless wisdom of Billy Joel, "Everybody's talkin' bout the new fashion honey. You can't dress trashy until you spend a lot of money."

*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!
