Double-Duty Escorts
Escort cards are like the save-the-dates of the wedding day--they do not have to match your theme or wedding style. They're an ideal place infuse your celebration with items or your characters and to be lively. Create a stunning display that can double as cards which are also party favors, like splits of champagne or a edible treat or a picture booth backdrop.
Unique Invitations
Get your guests eager to observe from the very beginning--today's wedding correspondence actually stands out. Plexiglas invites, ink and foil stamping are a few of the stationery trends catching our eye. Illustrations and envelopes that are bold (shocking fuchsia with white ink) are other ways.
Going Green
Décor tendencies are going au naturel. Bring the outdoors in, if you can not celebrate under the stars. Add some trees that are oversize to a ballroom to get an instant forest effect. Or incorporate natural elements such as wood and stone in your table settings. Greenery (not only the colour) continues to fad--it's easy to control and can present your décor an undone but beautiful look. Bouquets are becoming larger too and some designs that are old-school, such as pageant and cascade, are currently making a serious comeback.
Asking for What You Really Want
From cash to mountain bikes as well as museum memberships, we adore that couples can request just about anything under the sun these days--including nothing in any way. Registries are on the increase using a specialist mixologist, like a pottery course or a cocktail session together with adventures. Do not worry, you can enroll for classic wedding presents such as china, cookware that is updated and that espresso machine. Or do both!
The Present Lounge
This deconstructed welcome tote is perfect for destination weddings. Instead of stuffing and delivering a gift for your guests, allow them to perform the work (they'll be pleased you did). Set up a room full of swag (snacks, beverages, local sweet snacks) and guests may choose their favorite things. Best of all, you (or your loved ones or wedding party) can greet guests in person when they arrive. If your family and friends are split between a couple of resorts, set up of snacks in the exit of your welcome celebration for a really unforgettable party favor.
Translucent Cakes
Not quite frosted, not very bare, but the almost-naked cake is an ideal blend of 2 styles, and perfect for a less formal party. These confections are often lightly iced in buttercream and topped with in-season fruits that hint at the flavors of their cake filling or fresh blossoms.
Furry Friends
Animal lovers take note: The most popular wedding guests have four legs and supersoft coats. From bunnies into donkeys, couples are currently integrating more than simply their pets into their wedding. This is a trend to test if youobserving in a barn or're hosting a soiree.
Dangling Décor
Hanging beams are an immediate wow factor, and they constantly get noticed. Flowers from ceiling beams or series market lights from barn rafters for ambience. Hanging décor will get guests appearing also, if you're trying to downplay the venue carpet, which can be handy. Candelabras and centerpieces that are natural will continue to be table décor, look more national.
Grand Getaways
Think about this departure as a fresh take on the timeless sparkler send-off. Surprise your visitors with an getaway on the rear of a motorcycle, at a horse-drawn carriage or by helicopter. For a twist on the fashion, have a very memorable entrance. Anything goes--and think of the photo ops!
Exceptional Entertainment
Give your visitors an evening they will not soon forget with unparalleled entertainment. Think outside the box using a choir or an aerialist belting out your favourite song. Or go the more traditional route such as ballerinas in tutus and a classical quartet, but set it with a performance, with songs. If you've got a noise ordinance at your outdoor locale, host a quiet disco: A DJ spins music, but instead of it blasting from speakers, then your guests don a pair of headphones and dancing (and sing along) in relative silence. We're kinda obsessed with this particular trend.
Games Galore
In a bid to entertain guests, couples are turning to the tried and true: games. From Mad Lib wedding apps to lawn games at outdoor cocktail hours, games are being used as a way to break the ice between guests. This trend that is playful is a superb way to get your family and friends mingling.
