Are garter toss still a thing? What about mismatched bridesmaids? In this trend-forward episode of Weddings Unscripted, we break down which wedding trends have stood the test of time—and which ones need to quietly exit the chat.

From signature cocktails and photo booths to mismatched décor and second looks, we share our insider perspectives from years of planning weddings and watching fads come and go. Whether you’re planning your big day or just trend-obsessed, this episode is your permission slip to let go of what’s “in” and lean into what’s you.

 

What we discuss:

[00:01:42] – Timeless or Timed Out?

[00:05:16] – Getting comfortable with your photographer

[00:06:18] – Cake cutting: fading tradition or must-have moment?

[00:15:00] – Baby’s breath, rectangle cakes, and other retro-comeback trends

[00:16:08] – The garter toss: Where did it come from, and is it really gone for good?

[00:20:03] – Rise of second (and third!) ‘wow’ looks

[00:27:37] – Are photo booths here to stay?

[00:34:28] – The “getaway car” tradition: Are they still in demand?

[00:49:58] – Which traditions to keep, ones to skip, and the best advice for modern couples

 

Key Takeaways:

• A trend becomes timeless when it reflects authenticity and intention.
• Just because it’s all over Instagram doesn’t mean it belongs in your wedding.
• Trends fade—but classic choices feel meaningful for years to come.
• It’s okay to skip the champagne tower or donut wall (really).
• Confidence in your own taste beats trying to impress the algorithm.
