What DON'T you like at weddings?

It might sound snobby but cheap looking tableware....tableclothes, napkins, cutlery, plates etc, woudl just ruin the look!!

Yeah I get ya! Plastic stuff looks crap!

At our wedding I'd hate to see a member of the bridal party wearing pink (It will clash with our colour scheme awfully). Bridezilla me?! Nooo.... ?

On a serious note, I'm not keen on balloons, nor Karoke (which OH suggested!!), skimpy clothes at church would attract some evil eyes from my Mom.....

Fighting! Swearing! Generally offending people.

I don't like balloons as centrepieces, bridesmaids wearing black or chocolate fountains - They taste like cack and are a bit, dare I say it.. Tacky?

Ohh good question

brides doing speeches - sorry you asked for it hehe

dove releases/butterfly releases/latern realeases

argee with the cheap plastic cutterly

hats- not just in weddings- in general too lol

fighting/swearing/fighting

karoke

gypsy style wedding dresses lol

people getting married in church just becuase they want the pictures- rather than them being religious

very very drunk guests

ooh quite a big list lol!

Hmmm, where to start?!

Animals at weddings.

Dresses (on guests or bm's) that are too short.

MOB/MOG's dressed too young for their age.

Casinos.

Orange people (anti fake tan, rather than anti-protestant)

Balloons

That'll do me for starters!

agree- and i take this a step further- the whole princess thing- sorry but i think its tacky

Anything remotely linked to Disney/Winnie the Pooh etc UNLESS there is a small child involved. We are not little fairy princesses, we are modern and mature women

I agree with the artifical flowers

oh and the animals at wedding thing

wow i dont like a lot lol

?

Ohh i hate coloured dresses 2

bb not being a sheep but u have just made me realised i dont like a lot of things haha

Children dresses as adults.

I have a rule that if my 4 year old flowergirls couldn't wear a vest under their dress it wasn't right and revealed too much - same for shoes, no heels on my babies please!!

My (Indian) grandma said to me, "Oh by the way, I have lots of the food trays, if you need some extra for the wedding let me know..."

NOOOOOOOOOO! Much as I love her, and much as I can appreciate that they might be necessary for the typical Indian wedding with 1000 guests, NOT AT MY WEDDING BLEURGH BLEURGH BLEURGH! They will not go with the beautiful, beautiful venue!

Lol kayl- are you sure- the baby on gypsy last night looked amzing with painted toe nails and the little girls dirty dancing look great haha!!

Not a fan of bright colours, balloon arches, puffball dresses, ice sculptures, ribbons and bows, fake flowers.

Balloons - looks like a kids party

Fake flowers

Fights!

Also this. It was one of the few things I have really really insisted on. I don't care if the caterers normally do Indian buffets. WE ARE HAVING A SIT-DOWN MEAL. It's only 200 people and they are used to doing up to thousands so I'm sure they can bloody well cope.

I hate chocolate fountains - tacky and unhygienic!

Anything pink! LOL - just cos I'm not a pink girl at all!xx

Hilarious!! I had these at school! Cutlery in one compartment, then dinner, juice, dessert....lol

This is the reason i love this forum, i love knowing how individual each bride is! i think the general concensus ladies is that ensure you and your OH are happy as some guests wont like some but love other ideas!

I have to say i dont like balloons, chocolate fountains, artifical flowers, Drunk Guests!

OH has a passionate hate for hats!

Guests who look like they dont want to be there!! if you dont want to dont come!!!!

Oh and DJ's who think they are the life and soul and want to have a say in every song (think Peter Kay sketch!!!!)

Im going to upset ppl with these-

vintage theme

or the garden party theme

As well as balloons (especially those huge ones with the names and date on them) and chocolate fountains, I couldn't get married in a church (even though church weddings are nice, I think unless you follow Christianity, it's a bit fake and pointless?!), I don't like long bridesmaid dresses, I don't like satin wedding dresses, frock coats on groomsmen, pageboys dressed as sailors (wtf is that about?), karaoke (i'll keep that for the hen party), fancy dress weddings, hundreds of rugrats running round... NO THANKS!!! I will think of more no doubt.

ooooooooo controversial!! ?

Lol yep flowmojo- i said it i did say i was going to upset ppl- health warning lol

Not a fan of father-daughter dances, a bit schmaltzy for me.

Another one which may upset ppl (i did warn)

the whole silly first dances (the phase that has coming from america)

the light back drop

the helicopter entrance thing

A weird theme- like star wars or something like that- i remember seeing a 4 weddings with this

a magican

Phase two...

Chocolate fountains (more the taste than the principle, do you know they're often diluted with oil to keep it flowing?!)

Controversially, a misspent budget (just my opinion, but I think money should be spent on your guests having a good time over things like a stretch hummer)

Stretch Hummers

I am so going to try to get my 25 year old brother dressed as a sailor though! He'd hate me forever...

Im laughing - Im havin two 'things' at my wedding that have been mentioned a couple of times on this tread!! I love all my 'things'! ?

I hate:

Revealing clothes - on bridal party or guests

I hate brides with their boobs hanging out or brides who are constantly re-arranging themselves in their strapless gowns (I know properly fitted they wouldnt have to 'hoik' at their dresses')

short bridesmaid dresses - too 'guest like' for me

mother of the brides / grooms / guests who dress way too young - boke

bright coloured make up on brides / bridesmaids - natural please!

ice sculptures - they freak me out

crappy coloured chairs - use chair covers!

overly drunk people - no slurring speeches please!

feathers

artificial flowers

people who come to the church to see the wedding & then go in for the ceremony - If i wanted you there I would have invited you!

rowdy children (not children in general rowdy / mischeviousness ones - my little cousin stepped on a brides train & ripped her dress at the evening do - I have been mentally scarred

Im sure I'll think of loads more as I read this!

I was going to say something about money but i think i will leave that as i may be linched lol

the whole jordan/peter carriage

wedding dresses that clearly dont fit

wedding dresses which show too much boob

sorry- wedding cake toppers which are cartoons of bride and groom- which cost loads

sorry!!!!

I agree with the helicopters, i dont like them.

Ariving by horse, too princessy for me.

BIG wedding dresses, the puffy, million layers kind

fights/arguments obviously

Balloons

Too many kids/screaming kids!

Corkage! (luckily i dont have that at my venue!)

Princessey - why?

People there that your parents have invited and you dont know (and give you horrific slobbery kisses! lol)

wedding packages - every wedding should be different (i saw an all in one £2000 package the other day advertised and i was like why, why, why would anyone go for that?? theres no individuality!)

fairy lights

marquees

haha i could go on!
