Planning a wedding is not an easy mission for everyone. Between booking the venue, the guest list, the menu, choosing the bride's dress and the groom's suit, managing expectations leaves many couples feeling emotionally overwhelmed not only on their big wedding day, but in the weeks leading up to it. .
The latest "anti-wedding" trend on TikTok aims to change that. Many brides-to-be are joining this approach, which encourages couples to let go of the pressure of tradition in wedding planning and turn it into a purely personal experience.

Her video garnered over half a million views, while plenty of other commenters gave their reasons for avoiding traditional weddings.

Couples are choosing more unconventional details, including venues, dresses and bouquets. According to wedding planner Amy Shack Egan, the trend reflects the desire of modern brides to shift societal expectations around weddings and marriage to a new model. "In a world where we've put so much pressure, especially on women, to find the right partner and get married...I think it's great to see so many women saying, 'I'm going to do what I want. , even when it comes to the wedding', she says.
Many couples are moving away from typical wedding traditions and focusing on tailoring the way they celebrate to their personalities, culture and values.
