Planning the perfect day doesn't come without months of preparation and many thousands of dollars spent on the dress, the venue, catering and entertainment.

And while the happy couple may adore every single aspect of their celebration, it's entirely possible their invitees may not.

A group of disgruntled wedding guests have recently come forward to confess the wedding-related trends others love, but they secretly hate.

From fashion faux pas including why the classic strapless dress gets the thumbs down, to how rustic touches are ruinous, here, FEMAIL takes a look at what they despise.

The thread, shared on Facebook, started with guests discussing 'boring wedding gowns that show no personality'. One woman wrote;

Maybe it's because I love fashion but I can't stand the strapless white A-line look.

'I dispise (sic) strapless white satin A-line gowns...,' another added. 'Everyone has one and they are all the same.

'I hear the term "traditional" but they are just dated but they are just 90s/00s. Look back through history and there are fantastic styles and none are strapless A-lines.'

Others spoke openly about their negative feelings regarding rustic weddings, which currently seem to be all the rage.

One woman wrote: 'Rustic weddings with burlap and mason jars and weddings in barns when the couple isn't from the country and has no connections with rural life.'

'Those massive light-up letters that spell out "love" or the couple's names,' another chimed in.

A third also said she considered barn weddings a no go, writing 'Unless you grew up on a farm, don't do it!'

Despite the fact it's not uncommon to see children attend a wedding, some disgruntled guests thought this was poor form.

'My ceremony will not have any screaming kids ruining it,' one woman wrote.

Another said she wondered if children being allowed to attend a wedding was dependent on a culture's values.

'Where I grew up, it was very uncommon for children to attend weddings. Some allowed the flower girl and ring bearer to attend the reception, but it wasn't out of the ordinary for parents to bring them a sitter between events, either.'

Other gripes wedding attendees touched on included 'signs for the obvious', the cake smash and trash the dress photo shoots.

'Signs in general,' one woman wrote. 'A sign next to the cake reading "Cake". Thanks, I never would have figured that out.

"Pick a seat, not a side", ah, so original. "Cards and gifts". Gosh, I thought the empty box with a slot was where we put our raffle tickets to win the sign that reads "This wedding has alcohol and is being recorded".'

The cake smash, while seen as a trendy thing to do by some couples, was viewed by one guest as not only being out of fashion but also as 'so lame'.

Brides with a fondness for destroying their dresses after the big day were also given short shrift by one guest who simply couldn't see the point.

'Those photoshoots where the bride ruins her dress. Like, seriously, donate it! Some people want a nice dress and maybe can't afford it,' she wrote.
