Has Social Media Become the New “Keeping Up with the Joneses”?
Scroll through Instagram or Pinterest for just a few minutes and you’ll see it. Couples competing for the most aesthetic ceremony, the most editorial bouquet, the most impressive reception. Social media has made weddings more visible, but it has also made them feel like a comparison game.
The pressure of perfection
The constant stream of styled shoots and highlight reels can make couples feel like their wedding has to measure up. That pressure can be exhausting. It’s not just about having flowers you love. It becomes about whether your flowers will go viral.
Shifting perspective
What if instead of focusing on staying on trend, you focused on what actually resonates with you? Social media can be a fun place for inspiration, but it should never make you feel like you’re falling behind. Your wedding is not about competing. It’s about celebrating love.
How to step away from the comparison trap
Limit the scroll. Save inspiration, then step back and let yourself breathe.
Anchor to your story. Ask yourself why you love a certain design. Is it because it feels like you, or because you saw it trending?
Trust your florist. A good designer will take your inspiration and translate it into something authentic, not a copy of what’s online.
Finding freedom in authenticity
When you let go of the pressure to measure up, your wedding becomes more meaningful. The flowers feel like they belong to you, not to a social media trend.
