Hello beautiful brides! It’s a new year and time to look at all those great trends that will make your wedding a spectacular one! After browsing through many, many sites on new wedding trends I’ve narrowed down and selected some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy!
ECO CHIC: Including country flowers, recycling small glass recipients (such as yogurt or mason jars) and tin tea cans, creating an eco-chic and rustic ambience for the wedding, is simultaneously original and elegant.
BACK TO THE PAST: The past is back and all vintage ideas as well. Incorporating modern elements that have a historical past is a growing trend, which is very appreciated by everyone that participates in weddings with these types of ideas. Presenting your guests with party favors from historical brands, building the wedding theme around this concept, recycling and wearing your mother or grandmother’s wedding dress, incorporating your parents’ or grandparents’ wedding pictures into the décor, creating an atmosphere of nostalgic romance is always nice and very, very trendy these days.
DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS: Details are hardly overlooked but now they are more important than ever! No tiny detail should go unseen and everything should be planned right down to the last feature. If you don’t have time for details, there’s NOTHING LIKE HIRING AN EVENT PLANNER to transform your wedding dreams into reality. The wedding cake table is a main focal point, the place cards should be original and personalized, the chairs should have a special touch, the wedding color palette should be very well thought out – basically, think about all the small details that will make a big difference.
PRETTY & SIMPLE: This has to be one of my favorite trends, keeping it simple! From the invitations to the floral arrangements, there is nothing more elegant and romantic than details that are simplistic in nature. For example, consider having only one or two flower varieties in your bouquet, picture a beautiful Calla Lily Bouquet with a single Rose or Peony stem. B-E-AUTIFUL!
OUTDOOR WEDDINGS: This is one of the biggest wedding trend of 2011. Outdoor weddings are a huge trend for 2011 because a party in the outdoors is different, fun and relaxing. If it’s possible to make yours an outdoor wedding, than do it! However, it’s very important that you have a plan B, just in case the rain decides to bless your big day! Also, consider having a daytime outdoor wedding. This will not only allow for a day long event and beautiful photography but will also go easy on your pockets since brunch menu items are less expensive.
“Vineyards are a trendy place to hold a wedding because it creates a setting of togetherness. It’s a place where people are breaking bread together, serving dinner on long wooden tables, having salads in the center and drinking fine wine. Sunsets on the vineyard really take people back to nature, and it’s a calmer way of doing things.” says Celebrity Event Planner Andrea Correale who planned Chelsea Clinton’s beautiful Wedding.
Another suggestion made by Andrea which I absolutely love is to seek out Realtors in your area and rent a home for the weekend. “They’ll find a fancy home on the beach or a mansion and host their weddings. But it’s not a daylong event; it becomes a weekend extravaganzas.”
