With the start of the New Year, comes a fresh season of wedding trends; mywedding today announced their predictions for 2011.
Blog Manager Kara Kull said, ?2011 is all about creating a unique wedding atmosphere that really reflects the couple?s tastes, whether that be throwing a romantic garden party, bringing in food trucks or going all eco-friendly.?
The Top Trends for 2011 are:
1. Gowns that make a statement: Nicole Richie got the ball rolling on this one late last year with her Marchesa gown, which featured long sleeves, exquisite lace, and lots and lots of tulle. Detailing is in - think ruffles, flowers, feathers - so even dresses with simple lines will have a touch of flair.
2. The Return of Romance: Wedding dresses have soft, flowing lines with a distinct 20s and 30s feel and are showing up in pale pink, which pairs perfectly with this season's pale yellows and Pantone's Honeysuckle. For men, seersucker and linen have never looked better or more timely.
3. Fusion weddings: Embracing and celebrating culture is definitely in. It is using bold colors, rich tones, and vibrant designs for a nod to East Asian roots while handing out leis to celebrate the husband's.
4. Dessert bars: Featuring down-home favorites like brownies, bars and different types of pies, and also often feature a modern twist on the wedding cake - several varieties of homemade cakes rather than just one large one.
5. Preppy chic: With the blazer taking over the cardigan's throne, preppy is officially back. Look for the continued use of navy and yellows with the introduction of plaid in table settings, bridesmaid accessories and, of course, cool bow ties.
6. Keeping it Green: As eco-friendly goods become more mainstream and easy to buy, couples continue to make Green a wedding priority. In fact, young adults are more likely than any other group to pay more for green products, which doesn't surprise us a bit.
7. Making it yours: Whether using terrariums as the centerpiece, hiring food trucks to cater the event, or hosting the wedding at the local diner, it's still all about making the wedding day your own.
8. Luxe items: Rather than spending money willy-nilly, couples are responsibly spending money on one item that lends an air of luxury to the event - a fur stole, a jeweled bracelet, a pair of designer shoes...And with the royal wedding fast approaching; imagine that tiaras might make their way onto the list.
9. Alternative registries: Registering for help with the honeymoon, a down payment on a house, or even for a charity that's close to the heart continues to gain in popularity. And more and more registry options that let couples register online or on a phone at traditional stores, as well as local mom-and-pops.
10. Outdoor weddings: Nature is this year's most popular wedding d?cor. Couples are taking the ceremonies and receptions outside with garden weddings, wooded fairylands, and barnyard chic. Posing with the local goats and horses has never looked more in style.
