2011 Wedding Trends:
Dresses:
Dresses in 2011 are all about the detail. The simple and refined strapless column dresses that have been popular over the past few years are blooming with adornment, appliqué, beading and trims on everything from necklines, to accentuated waists and hemlines. Dresses are becoming more about romance than elegance and floral motifs will feature heavily. Fans of simple shapes need not worry, there will still be plenty of clean and graceful lines, but there are more opportunities to express your personality through detailing or adding accessories to your outfit. Brides will be bareheaded in 2011! The wedding shows have been jam packed with chic headwear. From glittering tiaras to headbands trimmed with extra large flowers in contrasting tones and sweet 50’s style half veils, the embellishment and detailing trend is finished off with headwear. Many bridal specialists are happy to sell you just accessories, so you can have fun putting your bridal outfit together.
Wedding Colors for 2011:
Flowers:
A big trend set to continue into 2011 is to use one single flower in mass. It looks incredibly distinctive and different. However, it doesn’t have to be budget busting. Choose your favorite flower for your bouquet, but then choose different types on the tables or in each vase. Adding matching candles to the bride’s bouquet and center pieces is growing in popularity and candle light gives any venue a fabulous feel.
Personalizing Your Event:
Distinguishing and making your day detailed to show who you really are is also a growing trend. It's your day...make it your own! Fun ideas would be to incorporate your wedding/special event colors in all of your events elements such as your invitations, linens, napkins, dresses, ties, flowers and so forth. Monogram your wedding cake, napkins and even the centerpiece vase. Incorporate a passion of yours. If you love growing flowers...give each guest a party favor of a package of seeds in a cute little box tied with a bow.
