Top 5 Wedding Trends for 2015

And so a new year begins! Happy New Year to all our couples past, present and future from everyone at Powerscourt Estate and Feast Catering.

2014 was a phenomenal year for Weddings at Powerscourt! We had a great start to the year with an early spring wedding and then went on to have some terrific summer, autumn and winter weddings too..... So a new year and to get planning for the year ahead I have put together the top 5 wedding trends for 2015. I hope you will be inspired!

GLAM IS BACK

Yes the glitz and glam style in wedding dresses is back in 2015. Off the shoulder, long sleeves and lace are making a come back this year. Soft flowing fabrics make for that glamorous look and intimate lace adds an element of romance.

TEXTURED WEDDING CAKES

The naked wedding cake trend has by no means gone away for 2015 but we are now seeing an emerging trend for textured cakes such a ruffles and textured designs.

AFTERNOON TEA

Downton Abbey is still popular and it is certainly inspiring wedding planners and stylists. China is still very much in for the coming year. Garden party style weddings are very much in trend and creates a lovely relaxed and homely ambiance.

PHOTO FRENZY

Professional engagement shoots are all the rage and couples are starting to use these photos in their 'save the date' and wedding stationery. It's a nice personalised touch!

Save The Date
FLORAL GREENERY

Yes you read it right leafy bouquets and table centre pieces is the trend for wedding flowers in 2015. There are so many options so ask your florist to do up some examples for you. Personally I like the unstructured, less formal look of using lots of greenery!

The Naked Truth

about the Naked Wedding Cake

Responding to requests for more seasonal and visually appetizing cakes, bakeries across the country have taken to producing custom creations that they've christened 'naked' cakes. Like traditional wedding showpieces, these confections sandwich creamy buttercream frosting between tiers of tender layer cake. But the similarities end there. Because of their exposed-crumb finish, these cakes prove that it's what's on the outside that counts.

The traditional wedding cake is typically frosted with white icing, but if a new trend takes hold, it's about to get a serious make-under.

More and more brides are opting to serve 'naked cakes' - pared-down creations that forgo an outer layer of buttercream so that the texture of the cake and the colors inside are put on show.

Some of the flavors include a dulce de leche cake with milk crumbs, a mixed flavor cake with chocolate malt, pistachio, salted pretzel and strawberry lemon, and a rainbow 'birthday cake' with vanilla frosting inside.

So it's a make under rather than a makeover! They certainly look just as delicious!
