Do weddings have some points that are traditional and do not usually change, such as the bride's white dress, the presence of bridesmaids, the couple of groomsmen? But there are also trends that at one time may be up and at other times down.
This is because as time goes on, some things fall out of favor, out of fashion. The subject is controversial and also involves the preferences of each, but there are unpleasant things and the ideal is to avoid being done at the ceremony or party.
If you are preparing your wedding, here is a list of what you should get away with in 2018:
1. Ostentation
This has nothing to do with the economic crisis or the financial condition of the couple. But, as with everything in life, the maxim is that less is more. Today what is in vogue are the most minimalist weddings. The dress, the decoration, the cake, everything can and should be simpler. Besides saving, it is more beautiful.
2. Songs without meaning
International songs sometimes have a wonderful melody and match the occasion, but the lyrics say something totally weird and inconsistent with the moment. Even nowadays, with internet access and the possibility to see the translation of the songs, there are still those who make this mistake, opting for some that say the opposite of what is happening. Churches usually have a list of possible songs, but if the marriage is in another setting that allows for different songs, it is good to pay attention to this point.

3. Delays
The bride being late before was even a charm, but currently this can no longer happen. The same goes for bridesmaids. The tip is to get organized, start preparations well in advance and plan to arrive on time. The churches themselves are already organizing themselves in this regard, some veto grooms' entry and allow only the bride's entrance to be faster. A delay can even compromise the quality of the party.
4. Task Imposition
Nothing to want the bridesmaids, maidens, family members and others who will attend the wedding will also participate in the preparations. Does every person already have their chores and can't they be required to commit to helping with some things? be it the dress tasting or the bridal shower or lingerie. Chat and see who and how each can and cannot help. And if they can't, that's fine.
5. Exaggerated Bride's Look
Again, the simple is highlighted! Very round wedding dresses, as well as strong make-ups and elaborate hairstyles have not been used so much. An example of this was the dress worn by Meghan Markle in his marriage to Prince Harry? minimalist and super stylish.
If possible, try the same-day dress / hair test for a more harmonious view of the whole. It is also worth remembering that the bouquet is an accessory and should not draw more attention than the bride.
6. Look of the girls
The girls are not mini-brides. Children are children and should not be dressed or made up like adults, even if the idea is to make them look like the bride. This goes for the clothes, the accessories, the hairstyle. The ideal is to keep the childish essence and follow a cuter line.

7. Choice of Gifts
Making a list on some site is great because it makes it easier to choose, but it is important that you have options from all price ranges, even the cheapest. If there are only expensive options, a lot of people will end up not buying on the site and opting for other stores, which can increase the chances of winning repeated things and making exchanges difficult if necessary.
Neither is it elegant to determine gifts, even from godparents and godmothers or close relatives. Let each choose according to their possibilities.
8. Photos on the altar
Many grooms choose to take pictures at the altar with each godfather couple. This is especially bad when there are many groomsmen and bridesmaids. Guests are waiting without knowing what to do. Or worse, the party is already starting to leave or to the venue, and then, as the bride and groom leave the church, there are very few people to celebrate this moment together. The best thing to do is to take a moment at the party to have these pictures taken.
9. Non-Functional Favors
No giving guests a gift that won't be usable later, as an item to keep or throw away. No need and not cool. It will just be an extra expense. The well-married is a good bet as it pampers and sweetens the return of the guests to the house.
10. Party Props
Neon and flasher are some items that were once very common on the dance floor but are no longer. They are expensive, can dirty the dress and are out of fashion. The same goes for indoor fires that are not only low but also dangerous and many places no longer allow it. To animate the track use signs with fun phrases.

Of course, none of this is the norm, and most importantly, grooms avoid fads and have a ceremony and party that can reflect what they are and what they feel. The style will vary according to the opinion and taste of each. The essence of the couple must be translated into every detail. This makes the celebration more cozy, people feel more comfortable and the couple as well.
