Outdated thousand -year -old wedding trend comes back, say experts: The reason is why

A wedding photographer has predicted the return of the thousand -year -old twee wedding trend, and other experts agree.

Kristen Gregor (@Petaandglass), 34, from New Jersey, divided her opinion on Tiktok, and her post received 27,800 likes and over 337,000 views.

In the 2010s, couples resorted to expensive traditions and selected unique, handmade details that felt their weddings more personal.

“I don't know if 'twee' returns, but the DIY of everything, the challenging conventions. Together with couples who tried to save money by doing things differently Newsweek.

“In our world of AI, on social media, filters and influencers there is such a desire for authenticity and reality. There are also elements of the 1960s-inspired twee aesthetics-Peter span collar, cardigans, birds that are too sweet to find their way back!”

Why a thousand -year weddings were different

Gregor describes a thousand years of weddings as economical and strongly diyguns. In the 2010s, couples resorted to expensive traditions and selected unique, handmade details that felt their weddings more personal.

“Cupcake and Donut towers, food trucks, economical plates, chalk shields, farmers' market flowers, non -matching chairs. Millennials made it economical * aesthetic * before the hobby lobby took over,” she said the video.

She admitted that some now criticized this aesthetics and saw it as an attempt to be different to do it. But she argued that for many couples, large, extravagant weddings simply not suitable for goods-geders financially or personally.

“I miss this part of it. It is impossible to explain how this time was, but everyone was very creative,” she said.

Although she is not striving to return Mason glasses or typewriters, she predicts a new wave of deconstructed, handmade and more relaxed wedding aesthetics.

The nostalgia for handmade weddings

Austin Francis Sylvest, a wedding photographer based in Colorado, agrees that a thousand -year -old wedding trends are misunderstood by younger generations.

“Many of the younger generations do not look beyond the social platforms that are currently in front of them, and most of this content is very available,” he said.

He believes that it is easy to forget how much creativity is accessible to a thousand years of weddings because social media -algorithms prioritize new content.

Sylvest recently photographed a wedding that was fully looked at the “Twee” ceiling with economical decorations, second -hand chairs and a strong emphasis on film photography.

“Couples who are millennials do not like that many of these places and objects feel cookie cutter. In a world in which everyone could come to Amazon and buy the same things, they would rather get articles that he can remember from their upbringing that passed the test of time,” he said.

Interestingly, film photography once felt like a nostalgic choice, but its revival has increasingly made it a mainstream. “Photographing these settings on the film only increases this feeling of uniqueness, but funny that it will be less unique from day to day due to its popularity,” said Sylvest.

The influence of gene Z and new twists on old trends

Jaime Coast, a wedding description designer, also sees elements of the twee aesthetics that a comeback celebrates, especially with bizarre wedding invitations.

She told Newsweek: “I saw in my wedding invitation business that there is a revival of love for bizarre and inspired accents, even with couples who describe their style as timeless and elegant,” she said.

She attributed this shift to broader trends in fashion and luxury brands, in which elements such as daisy, tiny arches and unexpected color pops have returned.

“Of course, couples were inspired by this trend in luxury, household goods, etc. and contain the same style in their diys or the purchase of wedding accessories,” she added.

However, she believes that an important difference today is the wish of couples for weddings that feel completely unique. “Today's couples really long for a wedding with a tailor. They want to express their personalities and tell their unique love story,” said Coast.

She connected this request with gene ZS “Maker Culture” and its fight against fast-moving online trends. “You have incredibly high standards for aesthetics and what things should look like. You want it to appear handmade and effortless, but still charming and unique,” she added.

Beyond twee, other nostalgic wedding trends with new twists are resumed. Coast indicates the development of the “rustic” wedding trend, which has now divided into “rustic botanical” and “western rustic”.

• Rustic botanical Contains elements such as pressed flowers, old botanical illustrations, handmade materials and behavioral natural color pallets. “An example of this trend is the rescue of the breath of the baby. What previously looks old-fashioned, grandma-like and cheap is changed by the really maximum use of the baby's breath in cloud-like cascade arrangements,” said Coast.
• Western rustic Combines the classic rustic aesthetics with details inspired by cowboy such as horseshoes, ten gallon hats and leather accents, which is equally suitable for barns and weddings in ranch style.
