Your wedding day should tell your unique love story, not look like every other Pinterest board out there. But here's the thing, most couples either go overboard with personalization or miss the mark entirely. After years of helping couples create meaningful ceremonies, we've seen these same seven mistakes pop up again and again. The good news? They're totally fixable.  1. Copying Social Media Trends Without Adding Your Personal Touch We get it. Instagram weddings look amazing, and Pinterest is basically wedding porn. But when you're just copying what everyone else is doing, your wedding ends up looking like everyone else's too. The desert pampas grass, the neon signs, the donut walls, they're all beautiful, but do they actually represent you? The Fix: Start with your story first, trends second. Before you pin another "boho chic" inspiration board, sit down together and talk about what makes your relationship special. Maybe you bonded over terrible horror movies, or you have a thing for vintage vinyl records. Those are the details that should shape your wedding, not whatever's trending on TikTok this week. Use social media for inspiration, but ask yourself: "Does this actually reflect who we are as a couple?" If the answer is no, keep scrolling.
