I have only a couple months left for my
wedding 2017. There must be lots of couples like me are still planning their 2017
weddings. Our wedding planner predicts the hottest trends for the coming year.
And I would be love to share some of our favorite upcoming wedding trends in
decor, fashion, food, and honeymoons.
Victorian styles are an inspiration for the
2017 bridal season. Long, full skirts paired with corsets, chokers and high
necklines are going to be all over the bridal runways. Also, look out for lots
of lace, even in the form of long sleeves. We’ll also see Victorian-style
booties as a new trend in bridal shoes.
The trend of having a separate reception
dress shows no sign of stopping. Many brides will choose to have a fuller, more
ornate dress for their ceremony, and a shorter or more casual dress. It is
clear that the latter should be much more relaxed and fun. They say the rumors
that Kate Middleton will do so. We’ll have to wait and see…
Ultra-romantic wedding bouquets will pair
beautifully with classically-inspired wedding dresses. Soft colors such as
ivory or light pink, and big, plush blooms like peonies, will be adorned with
details like pearls.
There are lots of diverse options here. The
bold color pairing of 2017 continue here, such deep pink and sunny yellow.
Neutrals will make a comeback this season, however, with choices that convey
tranquility, such as beige and pale blue.
Grooms cakes are becoming an essential part
of the dessert course, going beyond sports-themed treats and becoming nearly as
elaborate as the primary wedding cake. Full-on dessert tables will be a trend
this year, with smatterings of pies, cupcakes, and other, often homemade,
treats.
Having an overarching theme to your wedding
was passé for a little while there, but all-out themes are coming back. You’ll
see wine lovers with cork & bottle décor and even wine tastings at the
reception; seaside-themes with everything from shell decor to a seafood dinner.
Embrace your theme and incorporate it into everything from your wedding
invitations to your wedding favors.
Forget the same old destinations! No more
generic all-inclusive resorts for couples getting married in 2017. Today’s
newlyweds are saving up and heading to distant exotic locales. Bali, Morocco
and Nepal will start to win out over traditional places like Jamaica and
Mexico. Adventurous couples will be doing more than just lying on the beach –
we are seeing 2017 couples register for outgoing activities, such as kite
surfing, scuba diving, horseback riding and more!
