The art of telling your story
WEDDING ESSENTIALS
here is no better occasion to display all the forms of trends than in a wedding. From picking your gown to choosing your charger plates, every element must be cohesive. Every single element should go together until the whole celebration becomes a work of art, a masterpiece that can send a message and take your audience to worlds unimaginable. But most of all, it should be a work of art that tells the story of you.
With that in mind, WE gathered some of the trends to guide you on your journey to your big day:
The colors of nature are the way to go this 2017. For the eco bride try the elegant Greenery theme. Add some Eucalyptus and small twigs into your bridal bouquet or use simple white flowers for your chair accents and bridesmaid’s hair accessory. The Purple and mixed Berry hues on the other hand is also a hit for brides who want a more regal look to that “greenery” themed wedding. Add some berries on your cake topper or integrate purple into your wedding invitations and décor. For the modern bride, try the Navy Blue and Gold palette. The mix of these colors will make any wedding more glamorous. It would be a nice tweak also to the usual “winter wedding” theme. If these colors still don’t work for you, try the Soft Neutrals this young and elegant mix of neutral tones should work for weddings all year round. You can include touches of gray and off-whites to your décor or even your gown. The food always takes a big role in every wedding. This year it’s good to give your guests a taste of culture. Instead of the usual banquet menu, you may opt to serve a special plate that tells a story of you and your husband’s hometown or make your reception dinner special by pairing your dishes with wine. Of course, anything prepared fresh is always IN!
In 2015, dessert bars invaded the wedding industry. This year creative stations like mobile bars, gourmet coffee stations, food carts are still going to be a good addition to your wedding reception.
