5 Signs You’re a Millennial Bride When…

If you’re a bride in your 20s, you’ll most likely find this to be totes hilar! You know what your wedding hashtag will be immediately after getting engaged. After your significant other placed that new rock on your finger, did you pause your celebratory kiss to upload a ring selfie with a clever hashtag mashup of your new last name and ? #SorryNotSorry, you’re def a millennial bride. 2. You can finally double-tap and save inspiration photos to your heart's content. You love weddings and know exactly how you want yours to be – even before you had a reason to start looking. But nobody has to know the that! Just pretend that you spent an epic afternoon gathering inspo on your fave apps, not that you’ve been slowly making a mood board for the past year and a half. 3. You found your dream vendors on social media. You love pugs and peonies, and it just so happens that your perfect florist does, too. How do you know this? Duh, because you found them when searching that hashtag on Insta and saw that too cute pic of your two fave things together. Now, heart all of their photos and have them booked to do the flowers at your wedding this summer! #puglife 4. Instead of a maid of honor, you have your best guy friend in your bridal party. When planning your bridal party events, there’s nobody you trust more than your best guy friend. And who can blame you? He stays out of the drama, tells you the truth, and adds a sense of levity that is so often needed during stressful moments. So, why relinquish him to the unnecessary role of guest book attendant or force him to awkwardly hang with dudes he doesn’t know on your groom’s side of the party? This is 2016. Have a bridesman. 5. You find your dream dress in the pages of Vogue and purchase it pre-owned and online. Although once worn dresses may have worn the ugly labels of “consignment” and “used” in the past, it’s now considered savvy to buy a once-worn designer gown for half the cost of retail. Full price?
