The Year Top 9 Wedding Trends
If you're planning a wedding chances are you're keeping your ears and eyes wide open
to find out what the prevailing wedding trends for the year are so that you can plan accordingly and below I present you with the top 10 most popular trends for 2010.
Tapas or Small Plates
Spanish tapas are particularly if you are looking to have a sophisticated evening wedding, or you don't quite have room to have a sit-down dinner. Alternatively, you can serve tapas at your cocktail hour, creating an urban lounge atmosphere for a sophisticated touch.
Faux Fur
The ready-to-wear look of fur and faux-fur caplets will make its way to the wedding ceremony world with brides adding fur shrugs, or fur trim to their dresses. Don't take this trend too far, or you'll look like you've been attacked by the gigantic snowman. But done right and you've got an stylish cold weather look.
Hair Add-ons - Rhinestone or Diamond
Celebrity brides in 2005 forgo their traditional tiara by pinning diamond bracelets and earrings into their hair. All brides can easily adopt this trend in a simple and elegant way. You can add a twist by using beaded or rhinestone accessories in your bridal bouquet for shimmering beauty.
Personal and capricious Touches
We live in an increasingly personalized world, and weddings are no exceptions to this trend. This trend can be found in everything from your grandmother's best recipe as part of your menu, to names and places being used instead of numbers on the table assignments., to even whimsical and unique objects as wedding favors.
Metallic Adornments and Fabrics
Metallic's have been trendy in fashion recently, as has embroidery and embellishment. In 2010, the two trends will come together with metallic threads being woven into wedding dresses or used in elaborate and simple embroideries.
Creative use of color
The trend of having colored trim on a wedding dress will continue, but brides will find new ways of adding color into their look. Perhaps it will be the blue or bright red bottoms of their shoes, or a colored crinoline underskirt.
Hot Colors
The two most popular wedding colors will be chocolate brown and a rich orange, although usually not together.
Disposable Video Cameras
CVS introduced these one-time-use cameras this summer, and I think they'll be a big hit for weddings. As editing your own home movies is easier than ever, these will allow you to skip the videographer, and instead use the cute amateur recordings of your guests.
Wedding Logos
Contemporary couples are creating wedding logos. These graphic elements create a unified look for your wedding stationery, and can be anything from a flower to a bird, to a non-representational graphical element.
Benefiting a charity
From tsunamis to hurricanes to earthquakes, the world has been hit hard. People have been incredibly kind in giving to relief efforts, but the cleanup is far from over. Simultaneously, because people are donating to these causes, arts groups and other charities are seeing deep decreases in donations that they count on. So it's easy to understand that people want to use their weddings to give back.
