For my first “real” post, I thought I’d start off by highlighting some of the popular wedding trends for the year. Some of these are brilliant, fun, and even romantic ideas. You can choose (or have chosen), to plan your wedding using one of these trends or let them just give you a little push in the right direction. Maybe one of these wedding trends will inspire you in the flower category or even a detail on your wedding dress!
Go BOLD!
This year, instead of choosing flowers and decor that have a traditional feel — go bold! Use vibrant pinks, yellows, oranges, and teals in centerpieces and bouquets for that bright eye-catching effect. Wrap bouquet stems or even add a colorful ribbon to your wedding gown for an even more dazzling look.
Think Square
“Step out of the box” — or into it — by using square shaped tables for your guests at the reception. Square tables are not only different, but they also add a modern look to any room.
Lace & Embroidery
Less isn’t always more as this wedding trend will prove! Glamour up your wedding gown with embellishments! Add lace, embroidery, beads, and pearls. Carry the embellished look into the reception by jazzing up table covers, invitations, and even floral arrangements with the fancy adornments.
Cocktail/Happy Hour
What a better way to keep your wedding guests occupied during the beginning of the reception?! While you are off, probably getting your photos taken, allow the party to start with a little cocktail! This provides a comfortable atmosphere for everyone to get to know each other while they wait for your big entrance! Take it a step further by having the band or dj play bar room tunes to complete the feel! What a fabulous wedding trend.
Unconventional Locations
Can’t think of that perfect place to have your ceremony? A new wedding trend is choosing a location that is special and unique to your relationship, even if it is a little out of the ordinary! Maybe your first date was at an aquarium, or your favorite place to visit is the zoo. Have the ceremony there! This will make your reception memorable for all involved!
More Than Just Flowers
Why not try adding a little something extra to your wedding floral arrangements? What’s becoming popular in wedding trends is mixing in different items such as fruits, feathers, jewels, and even shells or colored stones. Not only does this make your flowers stand out, but it adds color and sparkle as well.
Add a Little “Belleza“
Italian for beauty of course! This year, what’s hot, or “caldo“, is having your fairy tale wedding in Italy! Italy is well known for their romantic cities and settings, not to mention their cuisine! Tight budget? Opt for an Italian themed wedding instead.
CIAO!
