People are revealing the modern “wedding trends” that will NOT last and I’m afraid they’re right
Recently, Redditor u/stress789 asked, “What wedding trends from today do you think will eventually become outdated?” Reddit users chimed in with the popular “wedding aesthetics” that they believe will become outdated rather than timeless. Here’s what they had to say:
1.“Acrylic signs.”

2.“I see a lot of 70s style wedding looks these days and I think they will look like what the boho/hipster look of the early 2010s looks like to us today.”
—u/innocentstrawberry
3.“Pampas grass and triangular arches. Boho dresses.”
—u/DonTot
“I can’t wait for pampas grass to be a thing of the past… it’s expensive for dead, dry weeds.”
—u/rqnadi
4.“Gravestones everywhere. The arches, the table numbers, the menus.”
—u/voldiemort
5.“The neon signs, especially with the newlyweds’ last names.”
—u/scarletnightingale
6.“The rustic look, especially a geometric wooden altar with a flower attached to it.”
—u/scarletnightingale
“I never understood the geometric arches. I mean, everyone should do what they want, but at NO TIME in this process did I think, ‘You know what my ceremony REALLY needs? The ability to stand in a hexagon!'”

7.“Donut walls.”
—u/cheese spaghetti
8.“Design/Decor: The Italics, marquee letters, neon signs, film cameras on tables and 2000s/70s style design elements.”
—u/happytransformer
9.“For dresses, I think the more form-fitting lace style will become outdated (but that’s what I have too, so no hate). For rings, the solitaire cut and the pavé ring are both very on-trend, so I can see those becoming outdated. Diamonds in general are also becoming less popular, so maybe we’ll see a trend towards non-diamond rings becoming more common.”

10.“I hate the beige/white/brown aesthetic. Most people I know who choose it do so because they think it’s ‘timeless’. I just find it boring 😴. To each their own, but I’m definitely a girl who likes bold design/bold colors.”
—u/Teepuppylove
11.“Mismatched bridesmaid dresses. I love the idea of everyone being comfortable in the style they like and I will be embracing this trend at my next wedding next year. But something tells me the trend is not going away, it’s going to die out drastically.”
—u/JawBoneBreaker1
12.“Actually, I’m surprised the cursive font ‘Bridesmaid’ isn’t extinct yet. I hate that font.”
—u/Ok-Housing5911
13.“The wedding cakes with plain/minimal frosting! I think they’re cute, but it’s a trend and will probably look dated in photos.”
—u/complete_doodle
14.“On the subject of wedding dresses: The tops look like lingerie. Super cute if that’s your style, but in a few years it will be totally old fashioned.”
—u/TinyTurtle88
“Corset-style dresses are the 2020 version of the 80s/90s puff sleeve trend.”
—u/Waste-Carpenter-8035
15.“Bows. They’re pretty, and I’m actually planning on adding some bows for my wedding next year, but I think that trend will be over in the next few years. I imagine people will think it looks too juvenile or something.”
—u/iceicemilkshake
16.“Desaturated photos. The ones where the colors aren’t true or there’s so much white light that everything looks heavenly.”
“Also the dresses with fabric appliqués everywhere.”
—u/EmeraldLovergreen
17.“Blurry film photos.”
—u/One_Yam_9539
18.“All these seating charts with mirror signs because they’re hard to read.”
—u/puffyhoe
19.“The washed out pastel colour schemes, especially sage or mint green. Shades of rusty orange are also big right now, especially for fall weddings, and I don’t think that will always be the case.”
—u/TerribleAttitude
20.“Gloves and pearls. The oval diamond on a thin gold band. I’m confused why so many people say it’s timeless when it’s clearly a hallmark of 2020s rings.”
—u/lax1245
21.“Something I’m incorporating into my wedding that will surely soon become outdated: alternative bouquets.”
“I’m making a LEGO bouquet. I see crochet bouquets becoming more and more popular, but honestly I think it’s one of those things, like themed weddings, where some people will always do that, but it won’t be as common as it is now.”
—u/LittleBug088
22.“I hope the extravagance dies down. It hurts my heart to see these couples spend high five or six figures mainly on aesthetics and then come back here and post everything that went wrong.”
—u/Frannie97
And finally…
23.“So many thoughts are running through my head! Champagne towers. Everyone is wearing colored sunglasses and glow sticks. The drop-waisted and baroque-waisted wedding dresses. Eucalyptus. Sparkler exits.”
“The fake handwriting font and also the long cursive font that everyone uses. Flower vases. Open wedding hair with the two strands near the ears pinned back and also Hollywood waves. Oval rings with a gold band (guilty, lol!). The notes for everyone on their place settings. Wedding gloves and puff sleeves. Embroidered veils/dresses. Disco balls! OK. That’s all I can think of.”
