Wedding Trends for 2011

WooHoo!! Its another year and the thought of weddings taking place just sets off all kinds of excitement!! We know that every year offers something different and this year is no exception.

The 2011 wedding year is going to include a lot of Rustic Chic Concepts, they are taking on more of a classic feeling.  Outdoor weddings will be a major contender as soon as the weather breaks this will be the hottest trend of the season.  If you think about it why wouldn't an outdoor wedding be the next must have?  We have been trapped indoors for months now and we just want to see beauty and nature! 

Outdoor Weddings- It is really all about location, location, location! You want the right feeling, maybe its over looking the city or the mountains you want to take into consideration the theme of your wedding as well.  One very important thing you also need to remember when it comes to outdoor weddings is you cannot predict the weather so, make sure you always have a Plan B!  We have a couple who really captured the feeling of the great outdoors when they got married in October 2010 the backdrop was over looking the mountains of Arizona:

Pretty and Simplistic- This is the next big ticket after this year of seeing huge and opulent flower arrangements, comes a more simple and small arrangements-from beautiful garlands, lovely table runners, floating arrangements and simple table settings is the hottest trend this wedding season.  Tables will be long and elegant with a little air of mystery and romance.  Brides and Grooms are looking to be Eco-friendly, and they want the feeling to be more inviting and feelings of home and comfort. The table scape's are more of a center piece and allow guest to really be able to mingale with each other:

Taking things back- Meaning couples are opting to go more vintage which has become such a hot trend at the end of the 2010 wedding season but, it making a huge apperance in the 2011 wedding season.  Many couples are opting for the classic lines and feelings even to the old vintage Rolls to have the bride arrive at the wedding venue.  Many couples are even taking clues from ventage brands to give their guest a lovely favor that is simplistic and very romatic.  The hair and makeup are soft and swooping and the color pallets are soft, rustic and very romatic:

Details- The most important part of this year are the attention to small details.  If you are having that romatic rustic wedding think about the details of the venue, invitation, flowers and menue.  Things may be a little more simplistic but they aren't skimpping on any of the details. They have even thought about how the cake should be presented for this type of setting and many couples are going with a vintage cake stand or a more none-traditional wedding cake (make sure you read February issues when we will spotlight none-traditionl wedding cakes):

Photographs- Go old school have a little fun and don't make things so poisey, poisey! Ask your photographer to catch your bridal party being natural having fun and laughing and joking.  Get a few black and white photos and make it feel somewhat home made:

Menus and Food- Simple but Quality is very important! This is one area where you Do Not want to skimp or be cheap at.  The food and menu can make or break a wonderful wedding and most people will have much to say over your menu.. Have more traditional dishes but present the food in very modern ways make sure that your Caterer is able to deliver all of what you are looking to do and give them a little room with their creativity.  Most Caterers love to have somewhat of and edge when it comes to prepairing and presenting:

Weddings for the 2011 season are celebrating all things that are romatic and just a little out of the box.  We know whatever style you choose will be just breathtaking and fabulous!
