What’s New for Weddings?
While traditional wedding touches remain an important part of every bride’s planning, many choices are more contemporary and reflect a couple’s desire to make their ceremony and celebration as unique as they are. Here are some of the trends we are seeing for this year. Weddings today are both mixing and matching. An invitation may combine ribbons of paisley and stripes while bridesmaids can often be seen in similar colors but different styles. Reception seating may include round tables mixed with square or oblong ones. Centerpieces may be a combination of both tall and low arrangements. Unconventional colors are in. Brown is a big color now, paired with creamy shades of white or ivory or pastels in pink or blue. Imagine a cake iced in chocolate fondant with ivory and pink sugar blossoms. Fruit is frequently used when decorating for weddings. Pineapples, a symbol of hospitality, are being used in many destination weddings. Pears- the perfect “pair”- make an obvious choice for cake toppers. Bowls of cherries add color to table settings and marzipan fruits elegantly packaged in glassine bags make wonderful guest gifts. Stop in and talk with us about other new ideas to help make your wedding unique.
