The bride,obsessed with a “minimalist Pinterest vibe” of beige,blush,and white,reportedly believed water bottles would ruin the look of her wedding photos. Guests were left sweltering in the heat, dressed in linen outfits, with limited access to hydration via a single, slow-moving station offering water in small glasses [1].
“she apparently thought water bottles in photos would ruin the vibe,” one Reddit user posted, adding that someone nearly fainted during the vows [1].
The situation escalated when the bride reportedly “gasped” and had a staff member confiscate a stainless steel Hydro Flask brought by the groom’s mother, deeming it “off-theme.” An elderly guest also required assistance due to heat exhaustion [1].
