Wedding Trends: REVAMP

Below is my list of the hottest wedding trends now. Perhaps you have seen these at a wedding this year.
Want to take it one step above the "trend"... see my suggestions for revamps!


TREND 1: BEACH THEMED WEDDINGS

Especially being in New England, beach themed weddings are the go-to element! Beachy themed cakes, starfish and sand dollars place cards, etc.

REVAMP: Take it up a notch, use the same color scheme (blues and greens) in a new way. Peacock!

TREND 2: CHUCKS

You have seen tons of photos with brides wearing the chucks down the altar and hanging out in them during the reception.

REVAMP: Sure, you've seen chucks-- but be the first bride to wear TOMS. Super cute and sparkly too!

TREND 3: Submerged Flowers with Candles. These are a popular and low-cost alternative to floral centerpieces....and have a real eye catching look. But why not try something new...

REVAMP: Keep up the charm with a different type of centerpiece- Succulents. These are starting to pop up and they are great as favors, place card holders, or centerpieces. Plus, they are pretty unexpected.

Color Inspiration: Pinks!

The ever popular wedding color: PINK! See these photos for some pink inspiration

Not only cute but a nice DIY centerpiece. And the napking are just fabric cut and stiched quick on the edges

I love the glamour of these. Use them in a grouping as a centerpiece, or on cocktail tables

Blush pink- check! Cute Bow- Check! Comfy Shape- Check! A perfect bridesmaid dress

Brooch bouquets are all the rage- this one is available online: Etsy shop: SolBijuo, ($350.00)

It's pink! It's ombre! And it has a cute flower. How super modern and chic

Florals Galore

Hello Wedding Season! Boy did you sneak up fast....

Looking ahead to all the beautiful colors, and flowers of the season

Wondering what flowers work great for your summer wedding? Consider these

June Wedding: Lucky you! Peonies are in season (such a short season, such a pretty flower!), daisies, anemones (a personal fav.), freesia, gerbera daises, roses, dahlias

July Wedding: Go tropical: flowers like Birds of Paradise abound. Or try: orchids, calla lilies, freesia, garden roses (see: David Austin), bulk it up with greens

August wedding: Be wary of delicate blooms that will wilt quickly this month. Try hardy flowers like dahlias, lilies, babys breath, chrysanthemum. Hydrangeas work too, just be sure they are kept in water so they don't wilt.
