Instead she and her groom decided to play a surprise set at their very own wedding. Wearing a lovely [tea-length dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azazie-and-christian-siriano), the rockstar bride took to the microphone and belted out a set that included some Jimi Hendrix, CCR, Spinal Tap and even Led Zeppelin. Any bride who plays Led Zeppelin at her own wedding is too bad ass for words. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Wedding Entertainment:** Opportunity for businesses to offer DIY wedding entertainment services and products. - **Personalized Wedding Experiences:** Businesses can innovate by offering customizable wedding experiences that reflect the couples' unique preferences. - **Alternative Wedding Music:** Disruptive innovation can be achieved by businesses that provide alternative music options for weddings, such as allowing couples to perform their own sets. ### Where This Applies - **Wedding Entertainment Services:** Opportunity for companies to offer unique and customizable entertainment options for weddings. - **Wedding Planning & Coordination:** Businesses can create disruptive innovation by providing services that help couples create their own personalized wedding experiences. - **Music Equipment & Instruments:** Opportunity for companies to develop and market products specifically designed for couples who want to perform at their own weddings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wedding Crasher Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-crasher-wedding.md) - [Wedding Payments Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rock-paper-coin.md) - [Unique Hotel Wedding Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karisma-hotels-resorts.md) - [Micro-Wedding Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-pop-up.md) - [Festive Bridal Accessory Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-planning1.md) - [Pop-Up Outdoor Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaco-wedding.md) - [Vegas-Themed Wedding Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegasthemed-wedding-package.md) - [Unique Wedding Bands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-wedding-bands.md) - [Hybrid Wedding Planning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-couple.md)
