Top 5 Wedding Trends for 2016

We are fresh into the new wedding season of 2016! The last few years have seen brides drawing inspiration direct from Pinterest or the Royal wedding, couples are now hoping to put their own personal stamp on it and for their guests to have fun!

SHINE ON
According to Harriette Rose Katz, an event planning guru from New York, metallic is big in for the 2016 wedding season. Rose gold is hot and will be seen from the wedding ring itself to table linens, florals and much more. Silver, apparently, is on the way out!

THAT HOMELY FEEL
Couples are now incorporating those special memories and trinkets from home. Even if the wedding is not local to where they grew up. For example using vintage street lamps, props from an Irish Bar and so on.

ROMANCE IS STILL ALIVE
Yes believe it or not romance is still at the forefront of wedding decor and design. Creating a soft, moody and romantic atmosphere helps guests to relax and enjoy the celebrations. Los Angeles–based event designer Trish Stevens, of Classic Party Rentals. “Wedding lighting is the best — and simplest — way to establish both.”

LESS FORMAL FLORALS
Arrangements that feature both whatever is in season and whatever is local are gaining traction. Sometimes couples request a “wild” look, say Casey Schwartz and Kit Wertz of Flower Duet in Los Angeles. “What they’re after are freshly picked blooms.” These free-form bouquets and center pieces often include a mix of big and small blossoms in more than one color, and might use spiky flowers or fruiting vines to serve as exclamation points.
