2014 BIGGEST WEDDING TRENDS PART 2

Wednesday, July 6, 2016

We've been taking a look at some of the biggest wedding trends of 2014.  For additional trends, please see the previous post.
 
Warm Shoulder 
 
Lace covered shoulders are a big bridal trend.  Whether you have cap sleeves or 3/4 length, a little more coverage can be a great thing.
 
 
Remember:  You don't have to have your shoulders covered the entire evening. Talk to your designer and create a removable accessory for the reception.

All in the Family
Try serving dinner family style for a greater variety with your menu, especially when it comes to the sides. Sharing food can also be a fun icebreaker for your guests to get to know other attendees.
 
 
Remember:  You'll need additional servers on hand if you want to offer family style for a more formal affair.  They will be available to assist in the passing of plates.

Merry Maids
 
Your bridesmaid's body types probably aren't the same it can be difficult to find a dress that looks good on everyone. No worries.   These days traditional bridesmaid dress designers are offering collections that allow for multiple variations on the same general style.
 
 
Remember:  If you want a more cohesive look, limit the number of styles your bridesmaids can select from.

In Living Color 
 
Since radiant orchid is the pantone color of the year, it might finally be time for pastels and muted tones to take a back seat to their more vibrant counterparts.
 
 
Remember:  If you favor a more subdued color pallet, you can always add a pop of color to your rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch.

2014 BIGGEST WEDDING TRENDS

Wednesday, July 6, 2016

So far, 2014 has been a big wedding year and we're not done yet.  Let's take a look at some of the hot wedding trends this year and what you can expect for the rest of 2014.

Back In Black

Formal black tie affairs never go out of style.  But this year couples are opting for all the dapper extras.  You'll see white gloves and bow ties whether they're celebrating in a ballroom or backyard.  There is a tuxedo for every occasion.

Remember:  Your guests need guidance for the dress code.  You should provide attendees with examples of fashion do's and don'ts on your wedding website.

 

 

Once Bitten

Your guests won't have to worry about balancing a signature cocktail and appetizer plate if you serve delicious selections that can be eaten with one hand. 

Remember:  Work with your caterer to customize your menu and create small, playful options.

Make it Personal

Personal touches are what make your wedding unique and showcase your personality.  Whether it's the monogram on the dance floor or guest's names on the tables, those additional details make a big difference.

Remember:  You don't need a big budget to make a big impression.  A chalkboard display with your dating history or a pictorial timeline are great and inexpensive personal additions.

Let The Flowers Flow

You can't have a wedding without flowers and bouquets are having a big moment in 2014.  Let your floral designer breath new life into your displays with more fluid, asymmetrical arrangements.

Remember:  Balance is important.  If the bridal bouquet is overflowing, you might keep your bridesmaid's flowers in a tighter bunch.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Chandelier
 
Chandeliers are big right now.  No ceiling?  No problem.  You can hang a chandelier from a tree branch or tent.
 
 
 
Remember:  Less can be more.  A single chandelier can make a big impression while creating a focal point for the I dos.
