Wedding trends will forever be a hot topic. Brides, wedding professionals and outside vendors have a real need to be aware of the very latest in all things bridal.
Fortunately for you, 2016 will not disappoint.
Venues
In planning a wedding, the venue is clearly one of the most important factors. A chosen venue means a scheduled date, time, actual location and backdrop. You can basically work with any location and transform it. It simply depends on your imagination…and budget.
When planning your wedding, there are so many details involved. While it may be difficult to agree on every aspect, the venue is of great importance. Be sure to involve your partner in this big decision.
Two-‐‑in-‐‑one Locations. You can get the most bang for your buck with a venue that features the facilities to
cater both your ceremony and reception. If two venues are a must, you may wish to consider looking into
transportation for your guests.
Simple doesn’t necessarily mean easy.
When done right, industrial and rustic destinations deceptively look simple. Keep in mind that these types of places are typically blank canvases. Typically, you should expect renting everything necessary to facilitate a reception (e.g. tables, chairs, linens, catering). Event designers are ideal in this type of situation.
Technology.
Social interaction has transformed the way you communicate with the world; you shouldn’t be surprised that it has also impacted weddings. By now, hash tags have become commonplace. For the tech-‐‑friendly couple, there are many options to consider.
Drones. Yes, you read it right. With today’s wide range of unique venues, it only makes sense to try and preserve the memory. For years, photographers and videographers have done their part. However, drones offer views that really cannot be matched.
GoPro. As the bride makes her way down the aisle,
guests and photographers are zeroed in on her.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a unique perspective of the entire bridal party (and
guests)? GoPro cameras allow just that. The cameras can be placed strategically throughout the venue; you are going to love the candid
shots that may be enjoyed for years to come.
3D Printers. These high-‐‑tech printers create jaw-‐‑dropping, detailed cakes that are designed to impress. Really want to ‘wow’ your guests? Hire a 3D printing vendor for your actual reception. Guests will be thrilled watching their custom treats being made-‐‑to-‐‑order. (It may even rival
actually enjoying the unique delicacies!)
For the super modern bride, you can actually have your wedding gown ‘printed’. Yes, your dream dress can be fully printed to perfectly match your measurements.
Not ready to take the plunge? That’s ok. When it comes to technology, it is
sometimes about baby steps. Embrace the 3D
trend by sewing specially made appliques to your original gown’s design.
Shades of Color
The modern couple seems to be moving
towards a more uniform color palebe.
What is the best way to choose your shades?
Choose your main color and then pair
with complimentary shades.
Bridal Party A:ire. Like you, your bridal party also appreciates the idea of having options. It is not unusual to see complimentary bridesmaid dresses; they can either be shades of one hue or complimentary colors. And for the gents… they are having fun by making some bold moves with their socks, ties and sneakers (preferably, Converse).
Linen Rental. Your wedding design may require linen selections that are not available at your venue. Specialty linens are an easy way to make a big impact. You may keep it simple with colored tablecloths and napkins. Or you can add a hint of drama with overlays, chair covers and sashes. (If possible, test out a few looks so there are no surprises.)

Hearty but Healthy
Savvy brides, like you, are choosing healthier menu options. While there are often the typical entrees, caterers are incorporating more natural-‐‑based items. Colorful plates are all the rage. Vegetables are a clear winner here. They naturally are visually appealing and often bold in flavor.
Don’t Underestimate the Appetizers. Canapés are always a welcomed delight. Make modifications. Modify comfort foods to support your specific theme (and perhaps, be a lible healthier) Just A Sip. Many couples demand an open bar. After all, guests love them. With today’s stronger drinks, you may wish to offer transportation and sleep accommodations. For the non-‐‑drinkers, think ‘smart’ drinks like coconut and vitamin water. They will revitalize guests and keep them energized throughout your entire celebration.
A Sweet Farewell
Send your guests off with a special memory of their own. Beber yet, send them off with a sinful treat. You may keep it simple with some milk and cookies. Or step it up a notch with one of the 3-‐‑D ‘print-‐‑outs’ mentioned earlier.
Designing a wedding can be quite overwhelming. Between all the wedding planning sites, articles, social media…..shall we go on?
While it is great to have options, it sometimes can be a bit too much. We hope that you have enjoyed a quick look at some current and
upcoming bridal trends. Happy planning!
