Okay, hello you guys. I'm here with Aubrey. Hello, your favorite regular guest. We are going to talk today about 2025 wedding trends. I kind of hate that word. I'll be honest.
Speaker 2:I'm right there with you.
Speaker 1:I think it has a negative connotation. Like no one wants to be trendy. I don't know, maybe someone does, but like I think, think even the trendy people. I don't want to be trendy, yeah, maybe it's like my inner high school before.
Speaker 2:It was cool. Yes, yeah, that's like the line like I knew them way before anyone else did you're like?
Speaker 1:okay, good for you, um, but we kind of want to just talk about some of the things that we foresee happening, just kind of share some of our two, our personal opinions. I think I'm gonna I'm gonna give us the safe zone preface of do not be a fan, please do not take offense to any of our opinions. They're just our opinions. Yep, this is just how we feel. You can totally disagree, and that's what makes this industry so fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah there's nothing right, there's nothing wrong, there's something for everyone.
Speaker 1:You do whatever you want. Your wedding is for you as a creator. Your style is your style, absolutely so. Please don't come at us if you don't like some of our opinions.

Speaker 2:I I'm a big fan like I talk about how I try to weave artistry into my work. So I'm a big fan of self-expression and artistic creativity and so I feel like people have the idea that when it comes to trends, they're kind of put in a box if it's something that's trendy. But I almost completely disagree with it, because you can, everyone can take one thing and look at it and express it in a totally different point of view and look at it and express it in a totally different point of view, and I will have multiple brides in a year who present a very similar style or color palette or arrangement shape Like Cascade is in one year, crescent's in another year but it feels somehow very different every time. Um, but it's, it feels somehow very different every time.
Speaker 2:And I think that when it comes to the trends that like come and go, it just it. It exposes you to all of these different things and all of these different takes on one specific type. You know, like an orange poppy is going to be used in half a dozen different ways. That, like, I would never have thought to pair it with that flower is what I'm going to say as a florist, you know, but that similar thing that just goes all the way across the board. You get to see something in all of these different lights, from all of these different points of view, and it just helps to. It's kind of like a revolving door as well with trends, yeah, which I think is so fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I think it's hard I've talked about this in past episodes Like it's so hard when a bride's like well, I really just don't want like my wedding to be too trendy, like I don't want to look back and I want something timeless. I think the word they'll use is timeless. Yeah, but I'm like nothing is timeless, right, like even something that you're imagining is timeless. It's probably a satin ball gown with box pleats and a three-quarter sleeve. Yeah, that would be timeless in my head, but that's giving like the 50s, yeah you know what?
Speaker 1:like that's giving 1950, and like you could say a pillbox hat and some lace gloves and then there you have it, like Right, that's, it's still got a time, it's still has a moment there. And I just don't think that there's anything wrong with just leaning into like what is big and what's trendy.
Speaker 2:No, like that's not bad If you love it and it speaks to you.
Speaker 1:it doesn't matter if you've seen it all over pinterest it doesn't need to be a secret that you got married in the year 2015, yeah, or 2017 or 2021, like every year, I think I I'm kind of like I don't know if it's an ocd thing like I I have a talent for like, if someone will show me their wedding picture, I can, I can pick the. I can pick close to the month I'll be like.
Speaker 1:That was march 2007 like based on the flowers, based on the colors, based on the bridesmaids dresses, I mean even based on, like the photos the editing style like everything has a moment, but I think that that's what's special about weddings it's like it's, it's like a time capsule.
Speaker 2:I was going to say.
Speaker 1:You are truly capturing the moment in which this happened and your kids will be like what is this thing Like? Why? I mean I have multiple neon signs in my house. I think it's so fun.
Speaker 1:And I guarantee there's going to be a time when my kids are like, mom, why do we have this neon sign in our house with our last name on it, right? And I'm like, oh, it's from our wedding. And they're like you had a neon sign at your wedding. Like I just think that there's something to be. I don't know it's, it's really fun.
Speaker 1:So, um, I did a poll on my instagram stories um a few days ago and just asked, like a few random things. I actually got most of these ideas from chat gpt because I couldnT because I couldn't decide on certain trends or things. Some of these are things that I foresee happening this upcoming year. Some of them are things that we've already seen and I'm kind of curious Are we over it yet or are people still really really loving this? So we can call it a game. It's going to be a little interactive game here. I'm going to show her the picture of the trend, or explain it, and then Aubrey is going to make a guess, like tell us her opinion, and then I'll kind of share what the consensus was of, like what people voted on, what they thought about it. So, with that being said, let's start with, I think, our biggest one for this year I will say was bows, oh yeah bows everywhere everywhere, absolutely dresses like arches with just a big bow.
Speaker 1:Cakes, candlesticks, candles added onto the flatware, just added to chairs, like bows everywhere. What do we think about the bows? Are we loving it? Are we leaving it behind for 2025? What do you think?
Speaker 2:Personally love it, and I think the people love it too. So I expect to see that continue.
Speaker 1:I think we have a couple more years with it. I think every trend has about a three-year cap before you start to see it die off. That's my personal opinion. Okay, so the trend for bows. We had 128 votes for love it and 53 votes for leave it. Okay.
Speaker 1:So, that was 70% said they loved it. Yeah, that's a pretty strong prediction. I do think it's going to stick around. I think with Wicked, like having just released, obviously, glinda is such a fun character and I just think that that's the very feminine yeah, just all you know all the pretty little things, like I just I'm I'm doing a little hand, yeah, yeah, but I think that there, I think that there's going to be a flip side to that too. I think people might lean into this darker, moodier.
Speaker 1:I have seen more and more like the what's it academia, I think yes, is what that is. Like having a bridal session. You know you're. What do they call that? They don't call it bridals. There's another word.
Speaker 2:Formals.
Speaker 1:Formals. I kind of like that word better. Yeah, I don't know, I like it. People are doing formals like in a library.
Speaker 2:Yes, the libraries, the art museums.
Speaker 1:Yes, I think that that's going to be kind of that flip side of very like yeah, I love it, and you know what that's.
Speaker 2:Another fun thing about trends is it also brings out like just the natural opposite side of the coin.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you always see a natural opposite.
Speaker 2:I love it Okay.
Speaker 1:So our next one. This was kind of like a hard one to pin, but ChatGPT gave me the example and I was like, okay, like I kind of like a hard one to pin. But chat gpt gave me the example and I was like, okay, like I kind of like I said, interactive guest experiences, so like the phone booths or the photo booths, kind of something a little bit different, where your guests aren't just simply writing it down there the audio guest book, yeah, or, you know, taking photos. However that might be, what do you think for 2025? Are we loving it or leaving it?
Speaker 2:I think I think we're, I think we're still loving it. Honestly, I feel like 2020 and, you know, bleeding into 2021, yeah, that era really just kind of shown a light on the strong connections and like your important small circle and involving others. Your poll result might tell me that I am totally like no, in the minority, but I feel strongly it was pretty similar to the last results.
Speaker 1:Actually, 70 said loved it, 125 and 52 said leaving it. Um, it is so funny, I think a lot of times the comments I get from my brides is like, oh, I want to do something different. Um, and a lot of times it is like they want to do something different as far as a guest book, and so, whether that's like the polaroid pictures or whatever, um, I do think they want something fun for their guests not just like okay, I'm here for the food and the dancing right I think, having just those little extra activities I think it's really fun, fun.
Speaker 1:So it seems like we're going to keep seeing that trend for a little bit. Okay, this one was actually. I was shocked by how heavy it was. I said bridal party attire matching or mismatched. 2025 prediction Are we going to see more of the mixed patterns and colors or very similar color style?
Speaker 2:I think mismatched is because I feel like we're seeing that in everything you know. Like a garden party yes, like like we're all just existing.
Speaker 1:I feel like the outdoor wedding vibe has been huge, absolutely like and and just that vibe of like the wicker baskets and I just think yes, the parasols like, and then the bows just mix in so well we're having a girly moment.
Speaker 2:We're having like a very feminine energy.
Speaker 1:You know, the matching for the bridesmaids baskets instead of bouquets which I've done and I love um, yeah, it was actually 78% said mismatched Okay, 140 people and matching was only 40 people, which I mean that's still 40 people, right, right. But, 22% said matched. But, that's such a heavy, I think. Pull for something so different.
Speaker 2:Yes, Like against the grain of what you because for years and years it was like oh, you pick a color thing and I think people are loving.
Speaker 1:I think I, as a florist, have appreciated the mismatched vibe because for so long it it's so hard to convince someone like it's okay if everything's not the exact shade of color swatches that you've brought like it's impossible. Yeah, like even the same dress that you'll buy from the same retailer, based on how it's dyed, will be different, and so I always encourage my brides to lean into that yeah because that's better than having one person awkwardly stark out.
Speaker 1:Or you know, if your flowers do come in a little bit of a different tint, that it will work out just fine. If everyone's intentionally a little bit of a different shade because we're bridging the gap between colors and, and I think it looks better. It gives it more depth, it gives it more dimension, and the photograph so nicely.
Speaker 1:It's beautiful and I just think and like not everyone looks good in the same shade right and for those girls that are like please don't put me in pale yellow yeah, or you know whatever it is like everyone's got their color or you know a shade that is best for them and whatever complexion, whatever it is they feel that they hate about the color.
Speaker 1:um, so I think that that's ideally great for floristry. Specific is like just the same thing I've said is like don't put anyone in a box. Like it's just great to have that opportunity to get fun with it, and I do think it's fun seeing people's personality and, like you know, Absolutely. If you say hey bridesmaid, pick a dress that's. You know this base color.
Speaker 2:You still set the boundaries with what you know is going to work for your vision.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But all of the people that you're including, they're different people, so it really does often offer the opportunity, yeah, to be expressive and still like for them to have their little moment within your big moment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure. Um, okay, our next one was ceremony florals. Obviously, obviously, I'm, you know, partial to flowers.
Speaker 2:And what are we going to see? I was going to say I'm not going to be able to be not biased.
Speaker 1:What are we going to see? Ceremony florals. These are two things that I think it's been back and forth for me, so I was curious what everyone else thought. Large, overstated garden arches or like the modern pedestal look of, like an urn or you know a single thing placed.
Speaker 2:What do?
Speaker 1:we think for 2025 is going to be the what is the word?
Speaker 2:The majority. Yeah, that's so hard because, like I personally love the organic feel of like the big arch and or like the asymmetrical. I'm such a sucker for a fairy tale yes, anyone who follows my Instagram knows that I'm all about the fairy tale.
Speaker 1:I think it's in your bio. It probably is, yeah.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't be surprised I think it is one of the first few words um, but I have been seeing a lot of the you know, big urns on pedestals or what's being used in the arrangement or in the installation you know, not just like on their place on the table, yeah, so I think this one's probably going to be closer than the other poll results have been, but I think we might be seeing a lean towards that usage of the pedestals and the urns, bringing more structured items into the display the pedestals and the urns bringing more structured items into the display.
Speaker 1:This one was definitely closer. It was 60, said large, overstated arches, so 100 people, and then the modern pedestals had 39, with like 66 votes. Okay, so I actually was also surprised because I think I've seen more people. I think maybe for some clients it's that it's easier to repurpose the pedestal, true, um, obviously we can move some arches, but it's much easier to replace.
Speaker 1:So I actually thought also that we would, that more people would be voting or leaning more towards the pedestals yeah um, but most the instagram, my, my followers, uh voted more towards the arches, which I think naturally I'm, I'm a, what is the word? I'm a maximalist and so I'm like oh yes, just cover me in flowers, like all of that. But I do think we're going to start seeing kind of more of that modern crisp look of just like a nice white, you know, rectangle pedestal with something just very lush. I kind of think that combo is so fun, Absolutely.
Speaker 2:You know the harsh rough edges with something very it's kind of like the mixture of the bridesmaids, you know. Yes, you're being able to bring these different types together for one aesthetic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay. Our next one was wedding cakes. I feel like wedding cakes have kind of had their not like not their rebirth.
Speaker 1:But, like I just think, wedding cakes have been an area where I've seen brides having more and more fun and getting more and more like, unique, with their ideas. Um, so these are the two that I think I see brides go back and forth between. Um, so what is your 2025 prediction? With wedding cakes, we have the, you know, a two-tier cake with a meadow surrounding it of flowers, or the vintage vibe where we're just doing something pretty subtle, whether it's one tier or two tier, with, like, the lamb and piping and you know the vintage vibes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the best way to describe it. Yeah, what do we?
Speaker 2:think I don't think the cake meadow had a long enough lifespan. Yeah, I do believe that that is probably being pushed a little bit out and making room for the vintage clean cut or like the kind of fits in that academia yeah, vibe that I think people are leaning towards.
Speaker 1:Yes, um, I actually I thought that it was going to sway the other way, but it was close. It was 43% said vintage vibes and 57% said floral meadows. Okay, so I think people are loving it. I'll be completely honest. I think they're not loving the price, if I'm being honest.
Speaker 2:That's fair.
Speaker 1:I think $300 to $500 for a meadow around your cake feels like a hard place to spend money, and so I think a lot of people love it, but I think my clients typically end up going a different way because they're like well, you want to put that money towards something else?
Speaker 2:yeah, and the cake's gonna be beautiful no matter what, and so I think they end up shifting, but it is, that's for those of us who want flowers on literally every surface, us maximal, us maximalists, florists, over here.
Speaker 1:Obviously we're like yes, the flowers. Okay. Our last one that I did was I've been seeing a ton of this. I think it's coming in. We have the unique tablescape, so kind of the serpentine I don't even know if that's the right term that we're calling it, but kind of the-. According to a rental company I worked with recently Okay, the serpentine I'm like that seems like the shape that we're seeing, whether it's like round tables, just staggered, or I've seen them where they are curved and connected, which is crazy because actually, like, if I'm counting, like you're not even fitting very many chairs like on, that's true, it's not the most, yeah, uh, spatially conscious, but the vibe is like, yes, insane.
Speaker 1:So what do you think if? Are people loving it or do you think they're?
Speaker 2:like no, I think people are loving it and I think it ties into two big aspects that we see people leaning towards with weddings, yeah, which is like the expressive artistry, and then also what I talked about before, which was bringing in your people you know, like quality over quantity. Yes, and a serpentine table like what you just mentioned. It's not. It doesn't allow as much space.
Speaker 1:It's not a high guest count tablescape, but you're very interactive with each other.
Speaker 2:You know, as opposed to just the one flat long table, that everyone you have one person that you can communicate with pretty well you know so. I think that's the one that we're going to see people leaning towards.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this one was heavier than I thought, just because I think sometimes things are different and people are scared by it. But I mean, obviously my polling audience is a good section of these people are scared by it. But I mean, obviously my um, what's? My polling audience is a good section of these people are wedding vendors. So that in mind, um 129 said they loved it, and so that was 81. Oh wow, and only 30 said to leave it. That was 19 that's your.
Speaker 2:That's the biggest one in the.
Speaker 1:I think that's the biggest poll difference that we had. Yeah, that was the biggest one, which I was kind of surprised, just because it is right on the cusp of like we're seeing it I think I've seen it mostly in editorial shoots and styled shoots where we're kind of like, hey, check it out like do this thing, look at this fun thing, yes, which I that's what I love. Um off season four is like that, like hey, hey.
Speaker 2:That's the time to express. We're whispering into our bride's ears, hey.
Speaker 1:Right, book me to do this thing, don't you want this? You want this. It's really cool, yeah. So, yeah, I think we are going to see it more and I think that's a perfect segue to other trends that we're starting to see. I think lower guest counts, more intimate party, bridal parties and yeah, I mean wedding parties is more and more common, even amidst, I mean in Utah. Usually weddings are really big because people are, I mean, I don't know, it is statistically, I think it's statistically that people who get married here are usually from here. They're going to school here.
Speaker 1:A lot of times there's big families we have so many people to include, which I think is the other side of that coin. But I think some people have taken the opportunity to really have it be like a, a nice moment of connecting with the most important people and not, you know, just inviting every other cousin in the world to be a bridesmaid because they feel obligated. You know, I think it's very like, intentional, yeah, um, so I do think that that's going to be more of a trend of like these more intimate backyard vibed celebrations of like which I love personally, I love that like don't surround your day with any unnecessary drama and it's just.
Speaker 1:Uh, here I am with the word statistics again. But I feel like, statistically speaking, the more people you have in a room, the more the odds are higher for 100 chaos, drama, like anything crazy going down so I.
Speaker 2:I'm all about that trend personally and I hope we continue to see that, yeah, because it's your day uh, shocker, right, I okay honestly, this doesn't have to do with trends, but going off of that.
Speaker 1:I love it.
Speaker 2:I feel like that idea gets lost so much. In the wedding process, in the wedding experience of it being your day, you are celebrating the person that you love with the other people that you love, and that's what it should truly be about.
Speaker 2:It should be like in our first episode I was talking about like, oh, weddings are this beautiful moment and it's your time to be the main character and have, like, your story be told. And I know that that is kind of an idealistic way of looking at weddings, because there is stress and planning and drama involved. But I feel like, if we can, yeah, step back from that.
Speaker 1:You know, not make it a movie, I think some people really like when I would tell wedding dresses. This is, like always, my example, but like people would come in and I, when the bride would go to like get changed into her first dress, I would come and give a spiel to the entourage with the group with the bride and literally say, like you are not on.
Speaker 1:Say yes to the dress. Please do not be unkind or yell out that she looks horrible or anything. Like I would. I'd literally just have to say like you don't say anything until she opens her mouth. Yeah, like you do not respond. Don't make a face like this is her wedding day and she's brought you along here. We love that, but you need to be mindful of like.
Speaker 1:This isn't a show like this is her day and don't ruin that because I mean in in the show you do see what happens to a bride's face when they're the is her day, and don't ruin that. Because I mean in in the show you do see what happens to a bride's face when they're the mom's like I don't think it's very flattering. And then you know you're like, oh well, I mean I really liked it.
Speaker 2:And then they question everything you know?
Speaker 1:yes, and so I would have to remind people, and sometimes they still wouldn't get it, and I'd be like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have to tell this lady to like get the heck out of here because I'd be like girl back off. You had your wedding day, especially when it was like mom or mother or mother of the groom I'd be like girl, you've had your chance.
Speaker 1:Stop convincing her to this was before the bows were happening. I had a bride's mom who was like she just needs a really big bow on the back and I was like no, no, no, like this is not cinderella, like it was not a cute look. And this poor bride was being so nice and my mom actually sold wedding dresses with me sometimes and so she, my mom's so blunt, she's me and whatever. How many years? 40 years from now?
Speaker 1:and just says it straight out and she said, like well, why don't we just put a bow on your dress? Which was like I mean, yeah, like mom, why don't we just put a bow on?
Speaker 2:your dress.
Speaker 2:You want the bow but yeah, I think so many people make it about them and just have the tendency to just draw attention right, I don't know if it's just a human nature thing, I was gonna say I understand, yeah, like you're excited about it and especially if you have, you know that's gonna be someone who has a strong opinion. Yeah, it's like, oh, I know what's gorgeous. A bow is gorgeous. You need a bow without stopping to think, oh, maybe a bow's not your thing, and this is definitely a day you want to feel 100% ready for.
Speaker 1:Okay, love all of that. I think that we're just nailing all of these, nailing the I keep saying this backwards, hitting the nail on the head. You got it, I keep going backwards. Okay, another one, kind of in line with the tablescape, the unique tablescape. I think we've been seeing more non-traditional ceremony seating, whether that's different types of chairs, like the furniture itself being different or we've. I've kind of seen like the round, like the couple is in the center of the aisle there's no aisle, it's like there's four aisles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's kind of cool. Yeah, I don't know how the guests feel about it and I don't know how photos work with that, like you'd have to really be mindful of your angles, but it's a really really cool idea like I've just seen more unique settings of chairs, so I think that that one I could see continuing um uh, okay, this one was kind of a fun, I think I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't know if this is an lds thing of like the outfit changes. I mean, I know other like non-lds brides do it too, but I think usually like the lds brides I see, like the send off dress change. But I see it with other couples too. I love an outfit change yeah like the more.
Speaker 1:The more that you have an opportunity to have a fun outfit, the better. Absolutely, because, shocker, I'm a maximalist and I'm like, yes, a jumpsuit, all the opportunity, take the opportunity. Yes but on the other side I'm like well, if you are spending the money on the dress, like I get.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 1:I wear it until the very end of the day, but I kind of, I foresee that one continuing and having more outfit changes. I love it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, personally yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, and it depends too right. What's on the event schedule for them Like Right too right. What's on the event schedule?
Speaker 2:for them like right, does it make sense for them to have that same? Yeah, especially, like you said, send off. If it's someone literally getting ready to leave their party, their reception, yeah, it's probably time to get a little more comfortable. Yeah, I say, get cozy, but I didn't do that. But I mean grounded.
Speaker 1:It was like we had to go pick up a bunch of stuff at our condo and you know like it was, like we had to go pick up a bunch of stuff at our condo and you know like it was logistically like I was just gonna go change in like 20 minutes anyways right and I was like I spent money on this dress. Yeah, like I'm wearing this until the last.
Speaker 2:That would be me. Yeah, I want to have my moment in my gorgeous dress, my dress.
Speaker 1:I paid for it.
Speaker 2:I'm going to bed in this thing. Yeah, yeah, like I will, I only get to wear one, right, I mean?
Speaker 1:obviously there's other occasions. But I mean for the most part, you're wearing it the one time, yeah, so get your use out of it. Okay, I've seen live ceremony music instead of recordings.
Speaker 2:Oh, love that Like the quartets, the live bands. I the live bands. I I love that, yeah vibe.
Speaker 1:Personally, I'm such a big music person. Yeah, am I musically gifted.
Speaker 2:No, but you enjoy it. But I love music and I really do like the idea of bringing in I mean, if I had you know my way, and whatever kind of money it takes to do this sort of thing, I would want my favorite band performing at my event yeah, definitely, because why not?
Speaker 1:that's so dreamy. If you can, yeah, um, okay, are there any other trends or things that you foresee either changing, coming in, coming out for the 2025 season that you can think of?
Speaker 2:I think kind of in the same way that bridal dresses have the you know like different colors and textures. Yeah, I see that a lot with tables you know the place settings and the table cloths yeah, with just the printed linen.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love napkins yeah, and I also think with that tablescapes have been a little bit more interactive. Not interactive, but more, not just the bare bones. Eclectic, yes, like we have the lamps, and then the votives and the taper candles and then, of course, the vases.
Speaker 2:Like a texture mixing all together Definitely more mixing where I felt like.
Speaker 1:When I got married I was like it would be way too much to do butt faces and candles. Like I was like I have to pick one or the other. It's candles or butt faces. Which is so funny, because now I'm like they go together. Yeah, you need more dimension than that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I was really hesitant and I think right now it's been fun Again, as a maximalist I love seeing just like this very abundant, even if it's not floral abundant, just like things on the table and the lighting I think especially has been fun to see, like lots of candles, lots of these cute lamps and especially if it's a evening and the lights come on and it's very romantic and very. I love a good lighting fun and it's fun.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I think that was one of my favorites too. Well, we're really excited for the 2025 season. It's going to be amazing. If there are certain trends or ideas that you have that you think are amazing, send them to me.
Speaker 2:I want to know what your inspo is looking like, Because we in ChatGPT can't think of everything. Yeah.
Speaker 1:ChatGPT's ideas were like not amazing. I think Pinterest is seriously. There is a Pinterest algorithm and you really have to start working on some boards and then it really starts speaking your language.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:I think brides really struggle when it's you know, they've just started and they'll type something in and they're like I can't find any inspo photos because they're just getting like the Etsy ad like sponsored posts and they're like this is not what I want and Etsy ad like sponsored posts and they're like this is not what I want. And then I'll type it into my Pinterest and it's like exactly what.
Speaker 1:I'm envisioning right, like it has learned my needs um. So I think that's kind of actually just some last minute advice as a vendor or a potential client start building boards, start working on it. Yeah, your Pinterest boards um, so that the algorithm on Pinterest really starts to learn like what ideas you like, because then it does a really good job suggesting things.
Speaker 2:Can I say one thing that someone has taught me is, if you build a Pinterest board and then don't exit out of it and go back to the blatant search, but stay within the board and scroll down to like more things like this.
Speaker 1:That's where you're really going to find what is fitting that vibe that you're building? Oh yeah, I always do that. See, I didn't even know that was like a specified thing, which is great. I'm like oh good, I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you about this thing that you already totally know. Well, sometimes I'm like you.
Speaker 1:It's just like if you're explaining something and you're like, oh, I didn't realize I and they kind of need some ideas, but I'm like I think you just need to really like give it a few days have a beer. That's usually my like social media um replacement. I'll be like I'm just gonna go on pinterest and add things to my boards like just not even for a special occasion.
Speaker 1:But I'll just be like, oh, I'm just gonna go scroll and you know, make a board inspiration for this, inspiration for that, yeah tablescape inspo, arch inspo, like I'll dive really really deep and get really specific. Yeah, and now.
Speaker 1:I love pinterest because it just speaks my language yeah, um so, yeah, we're excited for the 2025 season and we hope you guys enjoyed this episode and we'll see you next time.
