205 | Outdated Wedding Trends that Need to Die in 2026
Text the Wedding Planning Hotline
Some wedding trends age beautifully — and others age like… well, trends. In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée Adams is calling out the outdated wedding trends planners are collectively ready to retire, and what to do instead.
From champagne towers to traditional photo booths, Desirée unpacks why certain trends no longer serve modern couples or guest experience.
You’ll learn how to talk to your clients about the trends they think they “have” to include, how to redirect them toward more intentional choices, and how to use trends as a tool rather than a rule.
If you’re ready to lead your clients with confidence and design celebrations that feel personal instead of performative, this episode is for you.
