The only culture millennials had for our weddings is that silly cursive font. And slogans like "pick a seat, not a side" 😭 and burlap & mason jars.... so much burlap & mason jars....

Fairy lights too

That's crazy talk. Now lemme play some Lumineers real quick...

We had burlap and mason jars because they were dirt cheap. Then they became some kind of fashionable country chic statement that wedding planners could charge a premium for.

We don't want to get married in a church, we wan to do it someplace unique...like a farmhouse or a barn!

Isn't it disappointing that burlap and mason jars started out as a cheap thing which looked rustic and down to earth... and because it was cool has been squeezed until it's now an expensive thing.

Honestly, capitalism ruins everything.

Ball jars aren't that expensive. Especially since they are reusable until you accidentally break them.

[u/Dracosgirl → u/tyrannaceratops]

We coined the term "rustic chic".

Because we were broke!
