The wedding business, like any business creates its own trends and fads. Some come and go, and some make a lasting impression. Below are 4 wedding trends that we love, and with ever-growing popularity, are here to stay!
#1. Signature Drinks
I know we have mentioned these before, but we really do love the signature drink. It is a great way to add a personal touch to your event in a way that guests appreciate and are excited about. You can do a single drink that represents your newly married status, or two drinks that draw from each of your personalities. For example if the bride has a bubbly personality, try mixing her favorite juice with champagne and top it off with her favorite fruit. For a more masculine drink for the groom try his favorite whisky or liquor and top it with a simple fruit, such as a lime. Keep in mind your signature does not have contain alcohol. It could just be a refreshing delicious drink. Whatever you decide, be creative and choose fun names that really show off your personalities.
#2. Family Style Receptions
Lately we have been seeing more and more requests for family style receptions; and we think it’s great! This is more of a classic wedding style that has been re-introduced, where food is placed on the table and your guests help themselves and each other to the delicious entrees you have provided. This promotes a warm and friendly atmosphere amongst your guests. To create more of a “family” feel your guests can be seated across from each other at long banquet tables or at intimate round tables.
#3. Bird Cage Veils
With the growing popularity of outdoor weddings, long cathedral veils don’t seem to be practical (even though we do love cathedral veils!). The birdcage veil is just enough to add a little something special to your look, instantly adding a touch of elegance, sophistication, and vintage glamour to your look. If you aren’t a fan of the birdcage try a beaded or flowery headband.
#4. Midnight Snacks
In the hustle and bustle of the wedding and dancing your guests may build up an appetite. What better way to satisfy this than a delicious midnight snack at the end of the night? A midnight snack station could consist of pizza, sliders, donuts, or really any type of comfort food for your guests to revive them after a long night of dancing and maybe some cocktails. This is also a great way to send your guests home with love in their hearts and food in their bellies.
