We are fresh into the new wedding season
of 2016! The last few years have seen brides drawing inspiration direct from
Pinterest or the Royal wedding, couples are now hoping to put their own
personal stamp on it and for their guests to have fun!
SHINE ON
According to Harriette Rose Katz, an
event planning guru from New York, metallic is big in for the 2016 wedding
season. Rose gold is hot and will be seen from the wedding ring itself to table
linens, florals and much more. Silver, apparently, is on the way out!

THAT HOMELY FEEL
Couples are now
incorporating those special memories and trinkets from home. Even if
the wedding is not local to where they grew up. For example using vintage
street lamps, props from an Irish Bar and so on.

ROMANCE IS STILL ALIVE
Yes believe it or not
romance is still at the forefront of wedding decor and design. Creating a soft,
moody and romantic atmosphere helps guests
to relax and enjoy the celebrations. Los Angeles–based
event designer Trish Stevens, of Classic Party Rentals. “Wedding
lighting is the best — and
simplest — way to establish both.”

LESS FORMAL FLORALS
Arrangements that feature both whatever
is in season and whatever is
local are gaining traction. Sometimes couples request a “wild” look, say Casey
Schwartz and Kit Wertz of Flower Duet in Los Angeles. “What they’re after are
freshly picked blooms.” These free-form
bouquets and center pieces
often include a mix of big and small blossoms in more than one color, and might
use spiky
flowers or fruiting vines to serve as
exclamation points.

THE BRIDAL ATTIRE
Feathers!
Plunging necklines! 3D florals! The Spring 2016 bridal runways were rife with
trendy details that all brides will adore. It all comes down to personal choice
but there are so many differing trends for 2016 it even has me confused!
