According to The Wedding Report, The holiday season is the most popular time of year for engagements. Approximately 650,000 couples become engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. The Wedding Report also reports an estimated 2.2 million weddings projected in 2010. As they plan, brides will discover their preferred style for the celebration. Getmarried.com reports, “From runway fashions and edible passions to techie automations and color saturations, the new bridal trends are all about personalization and expressing your unique bridal style.”
Wedding trends for 2010 combine the “wow” factor and unique details to show the couple’s personal style.
Some of the trends are:
1. Receptions featuring “comfort foods” like mini cheeseburgers / sliders, mashed potato bars, pizza and even pot pie. Wolfgang Puck advises, on getmarried.com, “Upgrade ingredients and prepare them with great expertise. Serve hors d’oeuvres like Kobe burgers, wild mushroom risotto, smoked salmon pizzas, slow-braised short ribs or a simple chicken pot pie with lobster.”
2. Wear-again bridesmaid dresses. In this economy, many cannot afford a dress they will never wear again. Keep this in mind and choose a bridesmaid gown to suit each bridesmaid and one she will be seriously able to wear again.
3. Men go Old Hollywood Glam. Grooms want to show their personal style, too. Let them show their charm in a dapper white tuxedo with black-rimmed lapels or a sharp-looking vest and nostalgic pocket watch.
4. Brides are blogging. “Now more than ever, Get Married is seeing brides enjoy sharing snippets of surprises, ideas and images throughout their wedding planning experience”. Everyone loves feeling clever with their details and DIY projects and reading feedback with comments from other brides. There are many formats for wedding blog, http://www.mywedding.com/, http://www.getmarried.com/, and http://www.bridaltweet.com/ are just a few that offer blogging options.
5. Chic personalized details. From monograms on the cocktail napkins to childhood photos as the table numbers, personalized details are a top trend for 2010.
This is YOUR day; let your true style and personality show.
Best Wishes,
Tiffany
