2010 Wedding Trends

Backyard Weddings at Home
These days it is very important to my clients to cut unneccasary funds where they can. If you have a family memeber or friends with some property, why not have a smaller ceremony on their land where you don't have to follow typical rental hall rules. See my post about picnic themed weddings as well for more ideas.


Homemade Wedding Favors
This one is fun! Why not take a candel making class or find a cute how-to project at your local craft store to do with your bridesmaids. It is more meaningful to you and if you do something that represents you and your fiance, it will mean more to your guests as well.


Birdcage Veils
These are a long time love of mine! Amazing with the right dress. We did a post on them not too long ago. Etsy has some great shops with origional designs for any type of bride.


Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses
I was in a wedding a couple years ago ( our year of 15 weddings in 11 months that my family was invited too including my big bros wedding!) where the bride picked the color of the dress at David's Bridal and then we all picked a different style. I like this idea because your size 4 bridesmaid and size 14 may not look the same nor feel comfortable in the same dress.


Strapless Wedding Dresses
These have been popular for years but this 2010 they will still hold the brightest candel in brides eyes. Try David's Bridal or Wedding Bell Bride if you are in the Tacoma area..both are great!

~BRIDESMAIDS CONTINUED~

Last night I was talking with one of the brides I am working with about what look her bridesmaids dresses would have. I was talking to her about the post I did yesterday about the custom dresses and she wasn't that into it. So then I was thinking, I have been in weddings where you are one of many different shapes and personalities. How great is it to be able to pick the color(s)you want your bridal party to wear and they can pick the dress they want!

For example, I was maid of honor in my best friends wedding. She had 5 bridesmaids and one bridesman. Yes, Brian stood on the girls side! But back to the dresses.... She wanted us all to wear the Victorian lilac color but wanted us to be comfortable in what we were wearing. So we went to Davids Bridal and the two maids of honor wore tea length dresses and the others wore long dresses. It was great to feel comfortable and confident in your dress!

Now you don't have to have all your dresses be different. If you like them all the same length that is a great look too! Just add some flare to each girl so she feels just as great as she looks!

Cheers! K
