Wedding Trends I Don't Get

1. Artichokes

I guess it is super popular that people use artichokes in their weddings. And they don't just use them in one place, they use them everywhere. Like in this bouquet:
but also in invitations like these:
I don't know what the obsession with the artichoke is but I don't get it and am not obsessed. Heck, I don't even eat artichokes.


2. Plain White Wedding Cakes

In a world of Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss and Food Network Challenge cakes, why would someone want a plain, white on white, circle tiered cake?


3. Crazy Expensive Budgets

I read somewhere that the average wedding costs between 50 and 100 grand! That is insane. After 7 years of school and student loans the last thing I want to spend my hard earned dollar on is one day of my life, a wedding. Instead why not spend the money on a mortgage down payment, paying off student debt, an awesome vacation, etc?


4. Boxed Wedding Invites

This may be really a continuation of my gripe about money but why would you want to send out boxed invites. I don't know if I am just too practical to think about boxing and mailing a ton of invites ($$$) or if I just can't get past the thought that they are going to get tossed in the trash. Really, I know, you aren't likely going to keep my invite and I am ok with that. But if I send you a boxed invite I would venture to say chances are even less that you will keep it. Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous?
