Top 10 Trends:
1. Shorter, Tea Length Dresses
(For the winter, use a heavy silk dress and throw over a bolero or even an overcoat.
2. Comfort in your Reception Site
(Make people feel comfortable at your reception. Instead of pews, hardback chairs or just standing; consider hay bales with big quilts or even blankets on the ground. Indoors, try some couches, large pillows and comfy chairs. Your guests will appreciate the vibe of being in a living room hanging with their friends.)
3. Dinner Focused Reception
(Instead of a huge dancefloor, loud music and a buffet consider an intimate dinner. Think "dinner party" To achieve this level of comfort, order starter plates to get guests munching and chatting from the get-go and choose a dinner menu of the meat-and-potatoes variety. Have the meal served family-style so that all the food, wine, and iced tea or lemonade is set in the middle of the table for guests to help themselves, just like they’d do at their own homes. Do it this way and you’ll encourage conversation and create a more intimate atmosphere.)
4. Classic White Cakes
(Forget cupcakes wedding cakes and candy bars the classic tiered wedding cake is back. Also, forget the oh so perfected fondant.....Classic BUTTERCREAM is also back!
5. Textural Centerpieces
(Your very tall, smooth centerpieces haven fallen to low-textured centerpieces. Instead of roses and calla lilies try crisp autums foliage or snow covered evergreen. To add extra texture, wrap your bouquets with lace.)
6. Turn-Table DJ's
(And I'm not talking about the old ipod with speakers. Let an authentic turn-table Dj mix music specifically tailored to the liking of your guests.)
7. Souped up Photo Booth
(OH yeah, the photo booth isn't going anywhere just add some props. Line your background with fabric that matches your color scheme and throw some hats, sunglasses and boas for fun photo.)
8 Themed Engagement Photo Shoots
(From Mad Men to Breakfast at Tiffany's, figure out your personality and make sure it shows in your photos.)
9. Wedding Videos
(Talk to your videographer about using short wedding Super 8 wedding videos for that grainy, vintage look.)
10. A Grand Exit
(So, let's not have a firework show but something other than birdseed is always a fun alternative. Think: paper airplanes, ticker tape, sparklers.)
