You\u2019ll hear your clients pitch many ideas, some that work, and some that, well, fall flat\u2014very flat. There\u2019s a fine balance between a beautiful wedding with some fun quirks, and a wedding that is remembered for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s hard to spot a trend until it blows up and everyone is doing it.

From simple face swapping to a complex collage of sunsets and doves, you can\u2019t deny the shareability of these images\u2014but for all the wrong reasons. In an era of memes and instant shares, an inside joke among your clients\u2019 loved ones may be taken seriously as it spreads throughout the net.<\/p>\n<p>Finding a great photographer within your clients\u2019 budget is often a difficult task, but a good photographer is worth the extra cash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"329\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9151\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bad-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"What exactly is this bizarre photoshop job supposed to represent, anyway?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bad-photoshop.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Bad-photoshop-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Make sure your photographer knows their photo editing. That includes knowing to edit with a light hand! Simple enhancements and fix-ups are part of the job, but when it comes to extreme edits, unique and funny can quickly devolve into gimmicky.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Overplayed_wedding_songs\"><\/span>2. Overplayed wedding songs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Songs like Green Day\u2019s \u201cGood Riddance (Time of Your Life)\u201d appear often on wedding DJs\u2019 set lists. There\u2019s nothing wrong with choosing a tried-and-true song, but there are a billion songs out there. Why go with one that\u2019s also played at high school graduations and somber funerals?<\/p>\n<p>To avoid falling into the cheesy playlist trap, create a \u201cDo Not Play\u201d list. Carefully consider the themes and interests of your clients and collaborate with them to create a playlist that will work for them. Then, ask what songs they absolutely do not want to hear, and pass it on to the DJ. Nothing is worse than your DJ honoring a dozen requests to play different renditions of \u201cAin\u2019t No Mountain High Enough\u201d in the span of six hours.<\/p>\n<p>For more playlist tips, check out this guest post on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/03\/creating-the-perfect-wedding-playlist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">creating the perfect wedding playlist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Trashing_the_dress\"><\/span>3. Trashing the dress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Recent years have seen an explosion of \u201cTrash the Dress\u201d wedding photos. Brides don their weddings gowns and head out into the wild to glamorously destroy their dresses. Why? Well, you can blame high-fashion photo spreads for the idea. From rolling around in paint in the woods to setting a dress on fire at the beach, the goal is to have fun. Brides like being able to wear their expensive gowns again instead of burying them in the depths of their closets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"337\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9148\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Trashed-dress.jpg\" alt=\"For many, a trashed dress is a wasted dress\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Trashed-dress.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Trashed-dress-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although finding a second life for their extravagant dresses is appealing, sometimes these photoshoots take a turn for the worse. Make sure to inform your client about safety and potential hazards if they wish to do this. Especially since wedding dresses are heavy when wet, it may be best to avoid waterside shoots altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Some people love this trend while others hate it. Those who are hesitant about this trend call it wasteful. A good option for brides who want to see their dresses go to a good home can either sell it or donate it to a charity and make another bride feel beautiful on her big day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Over-the-top_cakes\"><\/span>4.

But as for the American bride that requested her wedding cake to be a life-size replica of herself, well, that\u2019s just a little over the top.<\/p>\n<p>While not all couples are ready and willing to go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slice.ca\/weddings\/photos\/35-of-the-Most-Outrageous-Wedding-Cakes-Ever\/#!4df174d0479f6271fcacf13d7a505455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">that far<\/a>, cakes are becoming bigger and fancier every year. Some cakes have even become more fondant than cake as couples favor customization over taste.<\/p>\n<p>With all sorts of options these days, why limit the decorating to just simple icing? Help your clients find a variety of unique cakes that won\u2019t sacrifice edibility for style. From painted cakes to naked cakes, sometimes keeping it simple can make a bigger statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"428\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9154\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Wedding-cake.jpg\" alt=\"A beautiful cake adds a lot to a wedding... but some just go a little overboard!\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Wedding-cake.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Wedding-cake-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_%E2%80%9Ctrapped%E2%80%9D_groom\"><\/span>5.

Implying that the marriage will be a prison to the groom is just in poor taste.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"350\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9161\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Trapped-groom.jpg\" alt=\"If the groom really feels &quot;trapped,&quot; why is he getting married in the first place?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Trapped-groom.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Trapped-groom-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It might provide a giggle or two at the reception, but, honestly, it\u2019s been overdone. In fact, a quick search on Google will pull up dozens of pre-made signs and d\u00e9cor items based on this theme.

After all, this special event should reflect both sides of the happy couple. What seems like fun themes now may not stand the test of time, though. Those <i>Frozen<\/i>-themed cakes, leg-lamp party favors, and lightsaber centerpieces have a time and place, but a wedding is not it. Be creative, but don\u2019t fall into the trap of allowing a fleeting fad to define a milestone event.<\/p>\n<p>While not technically a wedding theme, the \u201cShabby Chic\u201d wedding has taken the world by storm. Combining mason jars and burlap with lace and flowers may have once been original and trendy, but not anymore. With the advent of Pinterest, many brides are looking online for wedding theme and d\u00e9cor ideas. Inspiration is one thing, but why would your clients want to repeat a formula that their best friends have already done?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"494\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9158\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Theme-wedding.jpg\" alt=\"Do you really want your wedding photos to look like they came from Medieval Times?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Theme-wedding.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Theme-wedding-196x300.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pin boards are overflowing with tired images of the same shabby chic style of late 2014, so let\u2019s just put it to rest once and for all.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Long_and_uncomfortable_speeches\"><\/span>7.

Toasts don\u2019t have to be long to be meaningful. The golden rule of wedding toasts is quality over quantity.<\/p>\n<p>Help your clients out by suggesting they give some clear outlines to the best man, maid of honor, and whoever else the bride and groom single out to speak. A good guideline will help avoid potentially awkward situations and give a little push to those who have no idea what to say.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this isn\u2019t the same as telling these toasters what to write. At the end of the day, the speeches should reflect the relationship between those giving the toasts and those receiving it. Some funny stories and embarrassing moments often find a way to sneak in, but your clients should remind their speakers not to sink into raunchy anecdotes. Keeping things light and simple will go a long way.<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>So now you know about all the worst trends\u2014but what about spotting new ones?
