I keep harping on this one because it is SO COOL, but Pinterest says a popular pin is this bowl full of Jenga pieces, which guests are instructed to sign in lieu of a guest book. Two architects used the idea at their wedding a few years ago, and it looks like the idea's taking off now. I love it.

Pinterest is littered with pictures of these lovely, Grecian hair combs, and I am HERE for it. Hair combs work for brides (they hold veils!) but they're also perfect for adding a little pop to a bridesmaid updo, plus the leaflike ones look like little crowns.

Pinterest points to single bouquets — i.e., one single flower, instead of an arranged bunch — making a big splash in 2018. It makes sense: first, it cuts down on costs, since you only need to purchase single flowers for your bride and bridesmaids, but also it streamlines the whole look, which makes wedding photos look a lot less busy, though equally lovely.

Pinterest says searches for fig cakes have skyrocketed of late, and indeed, the fun dessert made the wedding report this year. Though figs might not seem like the festive fruit of your wedded dreams, they look incredibly cool when halved into a cake like the one pictured above, plus they're not too sweet and add a subtle kick to your treat.

One thing that's always bothered me about weddings is the multi-course sit down dinner, particularly when it's preceded by a generous cocktail and appetizer hour. Like, why do I need to cut into my dancing with a salad course? How many filet mignons can a person eat in a tight, fancy dress? And do you really need 50 bread rolls? Well, to that last point, YES, but you can achieve this with DIY pretzels bars instead of a bread basket, and Pinterest says you can expect to see plenty of those in this year's festivities.

Another hot cake concept is a metallic cake — i.e., a regular wedding cake with a bespoke piece of metallic foil transforming it into a futuristic centerpiece. It does not appear that you can eat the metal, but bonus points if you find a baker who can make edible gold.

I believe my grandmother wore a high-necked wedding dress at her religious Jewish ceremony, but the high-necked stuff sported on Pinterest now is way sexier than the modest clothes brides used to cover themselves with in the 1950s. Full lace and low backs also look like they're making a comeback this year.

I genuinely think you have to be a superhero to plan a wedding without suffering a nervous breakdown, so it makes sense that 2018's brides are digging these sexy wedding capes, which transform plain wedding dresses into something befitting Superwoman.

The whole point of going to a wedding is to stuff your face with free food and alcohol (and I guess to celebrate in the joyous union of two people in love, WHATEVER). Edible flowers, which Pinterest says will be big in 2018, are great, because they are both decorative and aid in my personal wedding quest to eat literally everything in sight. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
