So it is February and most of us have gotten used to writing 2014 instead of 2013 on our checks now. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, there will be thousands of engagements and even more wedding planning. Each year brings new trends, fun ideas and bright colors.
This year is the year of pink. Pink is back people! Not the bright annoying pepto color, but soft nude pink ranging to peachy and blush pinks. This is definitely a trend we will see catch on like wildfire and I for one am very excited!
Say goodbye to vintage themed, barns and burlap this year. This 2014 is going to be filled with Great Gatsby and 1920s themed weddings! Bring on the fancy china, old Hollywood, crystal, gold and black! This year will be the year of roaring twenties glamour. We will see art deco details galore or even bohemian-flapper! Brides this year will turn to pearls and fur for their fashion while the groom and groomsmen will adorn suspenders, pocket watches, and vests! We love this idea!
The next trend is not so new, but will definitely become bolder this year. Patterns! We will be seeing plethora of stripes, florals, chevron and polka dots. Also we will see a lot of mixed textures such as wool, fur, copper, marble and leather! Excited to see this year's wedding pictures!
As far as floral arrangements, we will be seeing many peonies, succulents and poppies. These flowers are considered "romantic" and will be in great use this year. I adore succulents, so this trend is one of my favorites!
Another very popular trend this year is letter press invitations. This has been around for sometime, but this year we will see more dainty and personalized wedding invitations. Check out this wonderful video on a local printing press in Birmingham, Alabama!
A theme this year that I am absolutely loving is the family style serving. Seated dinners, finger foods and fancy getups are out this year. The family style catering is very in. It is more personal and your guests can interact more. When guests help themselves it is more interactive! Love this!
2014 is the year of GLITTER! Glitter cakes that is! Gold, silver and colored glitter will adorn many cakes this year.
I am super excited to see these trends unfold this year and the possibility of more new trends throughout 2014! Bring it on!
