With a new year comes new trends and traditions, here are a few of the top wedding trends that may affect your wedding planning decisions – or not!

Color: The color of the year is turqoise! It’s flair & sophistication all in one color and it’s a color that can be incorporated into many parts of the wedding. Turquoise can add a touch of color in the form of earrings, necklaces, napkins, ribbons, and even printing colors for invitations and programs.

Style: The style trends are simple and homey. In this economy, people are looking to have simple, traditional weddings in smaller locations (even at home!). This is also consistent with the other latest style trend — to be as eco-friendly as possible. Simple, fewer guests, less travel, local/in season flowers, local organic food —  incorporate however many “green” things into your wedding as you’re comfortable doing.  Be rustic, vintage, simple, and green all in one.

Location: The new location: close by! People are cutting back on traveling, both because of expense and because of aspirations of being green. (Less travel means less gasoline means less toll on the earth!)

Cake: Buttercream is the cake of the year!

Photos & video: People will incorporate more video presentations, more digital photos. This also means using online photo sharing websites so people can share photos easily, without having to print them. And online photo sharing means couples won’t have to buy anti-eco-friendly disposable cameras – which requires printing a million photos just to get one clear shot and requires disposing of the camera. Lots of waste. Go digital!)

Any other trends you see coming up? Let us know!

Happy New Year (a little late!)
