Wedding trends for 2017

SIMILARLY to fashion, wedding trends can change a few times a year. More and more people are looking to make their wedding that bit extra special and different, while keeping it traditional. Others are keen to make their wedding one to remember, full of lots of quirky additions.

Below are the top wedding trends for 2017, which you are sure to spot throughout the year.

Big flower displays – Wedding flowers that ‘ wow’ are becoming more familiar at weddings this year. Big floral installations and even backdrops are regular sightings at this year’s weddings. Flowers such as garden roses and dahlias have become more popular. Display your flowers in tall glass trumpet vases which are really making a comeback.

Unique invitations – Wedding invitations can so often follow fashion trends. That means that anything from florals, mixed patterns and even metallics can be big for invitations in any given year. Bold

and bright envelopes are popular this year, while personalised foil stamps too can give it that extra personal touch. Get your guests interested from the very beginning by adding something unique and personal to your invites with things like textured paper or plexiglas invitations.

Mix- match bridesmaid dresses – This trend has been growing for the last few years and more brdies are opting for dresses that suit each bridesmaid individually. Not all dresses will suit all bridesmaids, so dresses which are the same shade but with different styles and shapes are the perfect choice so everyone feels comfortable on the day.

Signature cocktails – Couples getting married now want to ensure their own personal touch is placed on everything, and that includes the drinks. One of the biggest trends is signature cocktails. The idea is to come up with cocktails that represent both the bride and the groom, which can be a lot of fun.
