Fall Wedding Trends | 2014

9/25/2014

0 Comments

 
Gilded Glitz
Metallic threads woven into wedding gowns, gold sequined table runners, and glamourous sparkling bridesmaids looks are taking over bridal magazines everywhere.  Using metallics instead of specific colors is an easy way to take any wedding to a higher level of class, and it can turn any room into a fantastic soiree.

Twigs and Honey
Emerald and Ivory
Green isn't often seen as the most flattering color, but this season is changing all that.  Deep emerald greens are taking over the drab olive tones of bridesmaid's nightmares, and to tone down the green's boldness, contrasting it with ivory and hints of gold is a popular route.  Ivory and green makes floral arrangements easy (and inexpensive) and the whole look gives off a sophisticated flair.

Very Berry
Gone are the days of "fall wedding" meaning "orange and brown."  This season's brides are swapping orange tones for pomegranate, raspberry, and plum shades.  From flowers to bridesmaids dresses, from berry-stained lips to the groom's tuxedo, everything these days is screaming Bordeaux.

Traveler
For the couple who has been on a journey, near or far, this is the perfect theme.  Using suitcases as centerpieces, luggage tags as escort cards/favors, and vintage maps as decor, guests will be able to travel with you into your new married life!

Mint, Peach, and Gold
This color trend has been popular the past few years during the spring and summer, but this season's brides are expanding the color scheme into the fall.  By adding deeper oranges to the peach and gold, a touch of fall is easily intermixed into the scheme, and the mint keeps the spirit light and fun.

Non-Floral Bouquets
DIY Brides everywhere are going for bouquets they can make themselves, that won't cost much, and will last forever.  Because of this, bouquets that look like flowers but are actually made of a lasting material have been at the top of the trend list.  Using colored paper, book pages, leaves, or brooches, you can create a unique bouquet that resembles flowers while reflecting your artistic creativity and personality.

Blushing Bride
Blush wedding gowns have been popular for some time, but this spring everything is blushing.  From gowns to bridesmaid dresses to flowers to decor, the whole wedding industry is going soft and serene.

Pantone Radiant Orchid
Project Runway's "Color of the Year" challenge has brought Radiant Orchid to a new level of popularity, and for the bold bride it has been a smash for spring.  A vast array of bridesmaids dresses in this purple tone have been hitting the shelves, and brides with whimsy have been sure to accessorize with orchid shoes, belts, and jewelry.  For decor, the amount of orchid touches is up to you - whether you hit it up with subtle splashes or "go big or go home," you can't go wrong!  Obviously, orchid bouquets and floral arrangements are a must.

Petal Pusher
Having a garden wedding, floral bridesmaids dresses, and floral decor is all common for spring weddings, but lately wedding gowns have taken a turn to the floral side.  Whether it's colored dresses with bright floral pops, floral lace patterns, or skirts resembling flower petals, everything's coming up roses.

Naked Cakes
This year "naked cakes" (which simply aren't frosted) have expanded from being popular only at rustic barn weddings to being popular EVERYWHERE.  Whether you decorate them simply with powdered sugar, add fruit or flowers, or include some personal wedding decor touches, it's sure to be a hit.  As an added bonus, it's significantly less expensive than a traditional fondant-covered cake, and it great for a bride on a budget.
