Forget the Trends—Let Your Wedding Tell Your Story

In a world full of wedding trends, viral checklists, and Instagram-worthy moments, it’s easy to feel like you need to keep up.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to follow a single trend to have a breathtaking wedding.

At Something Blue Events, we believe your wedding should be a reflection of you, your love, your story, and your joy.

The heart of a wedding is about two people choosing each other. That’s it.

Trends can be fun, but they shouldn't overshadow the real reason you're celebrating. Love succulents? Great. Obsessed with book quotes? Let's weave those in. Whether it's a cultural tradition, a shared passion, or a personal quirk, your wedding deserves your signature touch.

Classic doesn’t mean boring either, there’s something powerful about heartfelt vows, a meaningful ceremony, and speeches that leave people misty-eyed. Those never go out of style.

I encourage you think about the meaningful moments in your life and relationship for inspiration.

My husband proposed at sunset on our favorite beach, just the two of us and a sky FULL of color. That photo from that night? It became our wedding palette.

Every detail of our day started there and that’s what I encourage of my couples because the most beautiful weddings start with WHY.

Trends Can Be Pricey and Stressful

Let’s talk logistics for a second: trendy doesn't always mean practical. Some of the most “in” ideas require custom vendors, imported goods, or single-use decor that ends up in a dumpster. That adds up.

Your time, budget, and peace of mind matter. A celebration can be elevated and elegant without trying to check every trendy box. Think sustainable choices, thoughtful touches, and beautiful details that serve a purpose (like guest comfort or joyful moments).

Design with meaning, beyond the wedding day. When we planned our own wedding, we chose decor we could either reuse in our home or rent sustainably. It saved us money, reduced waste, and brought so much intention to the space.

Meaning Will Always Be in Style

Trends fade. Meaning doesn’t.

Despite what you might hear, the details do matter. Not the ones you're “supposed” to include, but the ones that are deeply, undeniably you.

Like the pressed flower in your bouquet because it reminds you of your grandmother. The song that played the first time you said “I love you.” The handwritten vows you tucked into a journal long before the engagement.

Those thoughtful touches rooted in your story are what transform a wedding into something unforgettable.

It’s not about going viral. It’s about the way your partner looks at you during your first look. Your best friend dancing barefoot under string lights. The laughter that spills across your sweetheart table. The quiet, sacred pause before “I do.”

That’s what lasts. That’s what matters.

When I designed my bouquet, it wasn’t just about how it looked, it was about who it honored. Each bloom represented a woman who shaped me, loved me, and stood beside me. Carrying them down the aisle felt like being surrounded by generations of strength and love.

It’s moments like that, the intentional, heartfelt choices that make a wedding feel truly yours.

Your Wedding, Your Style

Not vibing with the latest color palettes or venue trends? That’s more than okay, you’re not meant to copy and paste your wedding from a trending reel. Instead, curate a vibe that feels right for you. Whether it's an alfresco dinner under the stars or barefoot vows by the lake, your day should reflect your rhythm.

Lean into what lights you up and we’ll help bring that vision to life.

For us, being true to who we are meant everything. My husband skipped the tie and added a custom ball cap after the ceremony. I wore ALL the sparkles and changed into sneakers. And we made our exit by boat. It was so “us,” and that’s what made the day unforgettable.

So, if black-tie evenings and ballgowns don’t feel like you? Don’t force it. Your wedding should feel like home, not like a costume party. Be bold, be real, be you.

Silence the Noise, Trust Yourself

Social media can be inspiring, but it can also make you second-guess everything.

You don’t need to do more. You just need to do you.

Our best advice? Trust your gut. If a tradition or trend doesn't feel right, skip it. If it sparks joy, run with it. And if the decision fatigue is setting in, let’s lighten the load together.
