Ah, weddings. If you don’t overanalyse the seating formation until you start seeing potential arrangements in crop circles, are you even getting married?
Everyone wants their wedding to stand out in some way, and according to Pinterest, 2017 is the year of getting creative with seating plans. People also seem to want their weddings to be more chilled than usual, with searches showing modern brides are foregoing over-the-top weddings for more casual options.
Some of these ideas will even make your wedding a little cheaper, as well as scoring you big points for creativity.
Here are the top 9 trends changing the wedding game this year:
1. Unplugged weddings: This means having all of your guests forfeit their phones for the night. This tag has seen a 600 percent increase in the past year, presumably because everyone is sick to death of their guests being distracted by phones. Plus, there’s the unspoken rule that you should never post pictures of the bride before asking her.

2. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses: Because it’s almost impossible to find one dress that will suit five different women.
3. Food trucks: This search has increased 30 percent in the past year. Let’s face it, everyone gets pretty sloppy at weddings, and drunk cravings for greasy food are best filled at a food truck.
