Well the verdicts in and 2008 is gearing up to be a very exciting year in Wedding Trends! For those of you planning and looking to customize, personalize and best accessorize your wedding here are the trendiest ways to stay HOT in 2008!
It’s All In The Details.
Gone are the days of balloon skirts and Grecian-goddess empire dresses! This year the focus is back on the waist. Bold embellishments of lace and beading to accessories including belts will be all the rage! Want to make a splash coming and going – focus on dresses that nip in the waist while accentuating your back – think criss-cross straps, deep v-backed gowns and any embellishments!
Personalization is STILL Key!
Unique and quirky? Not down with traditional? Personalization is STILL key this year in making your wedding day POP! Love peacocks? Use it as your theme? Wild about daisies - use them in everything! Personalization doesn't have to end in a monogram - express yourself through custom invites, altern-cakes [see below] or a unique/funky first dance!
Eco-friendly and organic weddings.
Now’s the time to do right by our planet and go Green for your wedding! Organic florals, food and invites start the trend but for those more passionate about the cause natural fabric gowns, carbon offsetting and donations to charities top the list of ways to NOT leave your mark [on the environment] this wedding season!
Go LOCAL!
Want a unique wedding full of pizzazz and personality? Think local! Amusement parks, zoo’s, botanical gardens – get out of the banquet hall funk and think outside the box for a unique take on your love!
Jeweled Affairs.
Couples looking for the hot and trendy colours this year will feature royal purples, emerald greens, ruby reds, sunshine yellow and peacock blues! The bolder the better as the trend for colour is HOT!
Accent with Silver!
Silver's not just for jewelry anymore! Be trendy in choosing silver as accent pieces, vases, jewelry, dresses and more!
Alterna-Cakes!
Favourite dessert not chocolate cake? Wild and trendy couples are bucking tradition and serving
”alterna-cakes” in flavours of cheesecake, tiramisu, and even crème brulee! Enjoy pastries? Pies? Cupcakes or even chocolate fountains? Be bold, personalize and make a Cake To Remember from you and your honey’s favourite treats!
