I did a little research out of curiosity and it seems as though the wedding mustache started showing up on the blogs in 2009. By 2010, they were everywhere. I don't think a day went by that I didn't see an image of someone holding a mustache on a stick on one of the wedding blogs. They felt very hip at first, but like many things hipster, I started feeling like they were getting over done. They went from being part of the hipster weddings...
To being part of more traditional ones...
I always find myself running in the opposite direction from trends (and I have to admit I've been a little sad when things Marc and I thought about having at our wedding became trendy). When I met with my photographer for the first time, I blurted out "no mustaches!" She must have thought that was an odd request, but she was fine with it.
I have definitely softened a bit to the mustaches over the last year. I created a Pinterest board just for mustache pictures so that I'd be excited to see them. The strategy worked.
In my blog surfing, I found two different takes on the same theme that I think are really, really cool. The second one is from a wedding that was held in a museum and it reminds me of Breakfast at Tiffanys. I am not considering doing these myself...I think these couples own these ideas!
I can't tell you how much I love those last two photos. They crack me up! I bet that wedding was a blast!
How do you feel about props in wedding photos?
Are you all about the kitsch or do you like more traditional images?
Have you ever worn a mustache at a wedding?
