  1. CHEESY PHOTO BOOTH PROPS

“For a photo booth, which is still a big trend, the props should be creative. No more mustaches or bad boas.”

  1. MINI-EVERYTHING

“Another trend that has been taken way overboard are the cutesy pairings such as mini tacos and a mini patron bottle. These are just too cutesy.”

  1. FRAMED TABLE NUMBERS

“We dislike table numbers in frames. Table number displays should be functional and logistical Sperry Tents Rentals Blograther than being a main focal point of the table.”

  1. PARTY FAVORS IN THE BEGINNING

“We also don’t think that favors should be presented at the guests’ place settings, it gets messy. Your favors should be a parting gift to your guests to acknowledge your appreciation for their support and for coming, therefore favors shouldn’t be given at the beginning.”

  1. NAMES FOR TABLES

“Avoid naming the tables, such as the Florence table and Venice table, etc. This trend makes the seating feel very divided and is logistically a nightmare for guests, keep it simple with table numbers.”

  1. SPANDEX CHAIR COVERS

“No more spandex as chair covers which a lot of companies have been using lately.”

  1. CUTESY RING BEARER/FLOWER GIRL SIGNS

“We dislike the cutesy signs for the ring bearer or flower girl. Weddings are such an important time in your life and should be taken seriously, your wedding should reflect your personality while still being adult.”

  1. MR AND MRS TCHATCHKES

“Try avoiding anything that comes across very cutesy, such as a special chair for the bride and groom that say Mr. and Mrs. on it.”

  1. VASES FILLED WITH GEL

“In terms of décor, avoid using gel or paper vase filler for the floral arrangements. Clean water is sufficing and looks best.”

  1. ARTIFICIAL COLORING

“Also, avoid using anything artificial in color.”
