Grand Getaways
Think of the departure as a fresh take on the timeless sparkler send-off. Surprise your visitors with an unexpected escape on the rear of a bike, in a horse-drawn carriage or by helicopter. On the trend for a spin, have a very memorable entrance. Anything goes--and just think of this photo ops!
Double-Duty Escorts
Escort cards are like the save-the-dates of your wedding day--they do not need to match your theme or wedding style. They are the perfect place to be lively and infuse your celebration with things or your characters. Create a display that can double as a booth backdrop or cards that are also party favors, such as splits of a boxed edible treat or champagne.
Moving Green
Décor tendencies are going au naturel. Bring the outside in if you can not celebrate under the stars. Add some trees that are oversize into a ballroom to get an immediate forest effect. Or include elements into your table configurations such as wood and stone. Greenery (not only the colour) continues to trend--it's easy to manipulate and can present your décor an undone but gorgeous look. Bouquets are getting bigger too and some styles, like cascade and pageant, are currently making a significant comeback.
Fun Food Presentations
The new trend in food is equivalent portions yum and fun. Menus are being closely curated with favorite eats and local specialties (believe: deep-dish pizza for a Chicago after-party). However, the meals is being almost upstaged by the presentation. Food installments and pubs, such as a hanging oil shelf piled high with charcuterie and cheese, are instant wows. Set a doughnut wall up with gourmet selections or treat guests. These stations will present family and your friends a thing to do and talk about, long after the marriage.
Party Portraits
We're loving the new twist on the conventional photo booth--portrait studios. Like a photo booth, there's a distance and, sometimes, props. But instead of four rapid-fire shots, there's a photographer requesting you. You obtain a portrait that is classic that is top notch perfect for your gallery wall. Your guests will line up, trust us. Duos may opt to get an illustrator instead, who can sketch guests. Or you may even employ a painter to commemorate. This doubles as a keepsake for you along with fun entertainment for your visitors. Meanwhile, Geofilters are joining hashtags as the most popular way to be social at weddings (#duh).
Exceptional Entertainment
Give your guests a day that they won't soon forget with unparalleled amusement. Think beyond the box using a choir or an aerialist belting out your favorite song that is Beyoncé. Or go the traditional route with songs, but set it with a performance, such as ballerinas in tutus and a classical quartet. In case you have a noise ordinance at your outside locale, host a quiet disco: A DJ spins music, but instead of it blasting from speakers, then your guests don a set of headphones and dance (and sing along) in comparative silence. We are kinda.
Metallic Dresses and Breezy Silhouettes
Sparkly gowns--silver, gold and metallic beading--flooded the decorative runways. The ball dress is currently making a comeback ideal for a formal evening wedding. Also sexy? Breezy skirts and airy silhouettes. These effortless dresses (think: flowing materials like tulle and organza) possess an ethereal vibe and therefore are well suited to a destination event or even a second look. Detachable Colours, floral vases and off-the-shoulder appears are also making their way down aisles this season.
Asking for What You Really Want
From cash to mountain bikes and even museum memberships, we all adore that couples can request just about anything under the sun these days--such as nothing at all. Charity registries are on the increase with an expert mixologist, like a pottery course or a cocktail session together with adventures. Do not worry, it's still possible to enroll for wedding presents that are classic like china, cookware that is upgraded and that espresso machine you have had your eye on for years. Or do both!
Stylish Swings
The latest in lounge seating is swings. This park classic guarantees to be a big hit with wedding guests both young and older. And it is the perfect way to keep in motion when your feet need a rest. Seating in general is trending, with couples opting for "king" and "queen" seats at a love table, or mix-and-match alternatives for outside ceremonies.
Color Comeback
Neutrals and pastels have paved the way to get a complete yield to shade. Expect to see pops of color pairings and colours. Pantone termed the Year's Color--it's earthy and vibrant. This fresh hue is emblematic of "the reconnection we hunt with character, one another and a larger function," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. We hope to see this color of green in all from floral arrangements, visit our website.
The Gift Lounge
This deconstructed welcome tote is ideal for destination weddings. Instead of stuffing and bringing a gift for your guests, let them do the work (they will be glad you did). Set up a room filled with swag (snacks, drinks, local sweet treats) and guests can pick their favourite items. Best of all, you (or your family or wedding party) can greet guests in person when they arrive. Set up a table of goodies in the departure of your welcome celebration for a party favor, if your family and friends are divided between a few hotels.
Games Galore
In an effort to entertain guests, couples are turning to the tried and true: matches. From interactive Lib wedding programs to yard games at outdoor cocktail hours, games are being used as a means to break the ice between guests. This trend that is playful is a superb way to get family mingling and your friends.
A Movable Feast
With food trucks and handed multicourse meals, the sit-down dinner is being replaced with more interactive choices. Set up that feature your favorite eats, with an sommelier wine and cheese pairings or oysters such as a bar with a waiter. Host a trendy cocktail hour if you don't need to forgo a dinner and serve the principal meal family style for a twist on the expected.
Dangling Décor
Hanging beams are an instant wow factor, and they constantly get noticed. Flowers from ceiling string market lights out of barn rafters for ambience or beams. Hanging décor will get guests appearing too, if you are attempting to downplay the venue's color-clashing carpet, which can be handy. Towering candelabras and centerpieces that are natural will continue to be table décor.
Image Mapping
Turn your indoor reception space into an enchanted forest without uprooting a single tree. Picture mapping is a projection technology that allows you to change a space with moving and lighting images. Scenes are able to alter giving your ceremony and reception every its own vibe that is unique. On a budget? Utilize the technology on your wedding cake.
Furry Friends
Animal fans take note: The hottest wedding guests have four legs and supersoft coats. Couples are incorporating more than just their pets into their wedding. This is a trend to try if you're hosting a rustic soiree or celebrating in a barn that is picturesque.
