2017 Wedding Planning

By now we have all celebrated our holiday & the new year so now we can focus on the big stuff. If you are planning a wedding this year what are the trends? What is the look and feel? Pantone has given us the color of the year and it is greenery. Greenery is a pretty yellowish green-think of the first greens you see when everything is blooming and coming back to life in the springtime. It plays well with all other colors -think of Mother nature and how well green works with everything!

The next detail following color is look and feel. Today's bride wants natural elements for her big day. Branches, wood slices, pine cones, starfish, seashells, leaves all will create beautiful accents to your ceremony & reception. Ceremonies & receptions that are more organic can still be quite elegant. You can add the sparkle with runners, lighting, accents and venue selection. Color can be added here and there with flowers, runners, napkins, cake and of course bridal party attire. Don't forget uplighting it can change the feel of a room instantly.

Another popular trend is flower walls and large flower accents. A flower wall can be real (pricey) or foam flowers that look real or even paper flowers. They can be used as a complete wall, a runner across the top of pipe and drape or an arbor, across the front of a head table or dripping down the table cloth. There are many places to source these items ask your planner they usually have reliable contacts for specialty items.
