Trending In 2015: What This Year’s Brides and Grooms Are Falling In Love With

April 22, 2015

The 2015 couple takes great pride in being both traditional and conventional…and when it comes to styling their wedding, for the modern soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Individuality and self-expression is key. While couples are still taking their cues from the timeless and traditional they are also infusing their very own touches of personal and distinct nuances to make their milestone moment uniquely distinctive and memorable. Here’s just some of what’s trending those who are planning their 2015 “I Do’s”. English Elegance: From Garden Soirees to Afternoon tea parties, it’s all about the romance. Think vintage with a modern twist. Topping the trend chart for luxe looks everything from bold color palettes; bare table with only lace or geometric place settings; monogramed linens; “ghost” chairs”; and al fresco dining to ornate events replete with all the extras including ornate cakes; candelabras; elaborate tablescapes, and butler service with the added eclectic accents such as an “impromptu” outdoor twilight party, a beer station, or the arrival of an goodie or ice cream truck to “greet” guests as  they go…after the party is over.

You can also expect to see more opulent and eclectic invites with choices ranging from laser cut-outs to handmade paper with silk threads, embroidery, and stitched paper. ThinkstockPhotos-86491778 Diversity in Dining: Gone are the days of either traditional white glove service or bountiful buffets. Today’s couples are opting for much more “risqué” options. So, what’s on the menu for 2015 weddings…everything from Family style dining and food truck buffets, to farm to table culinary creations, tasting stations, late night snack trucks, trays or stations and contemporary classics with a healthy twist, couples are ensuring their guests have a truly and uniquely delicious experience. ThinkstockPhotos-167120491 Vintage Vibes: When it comes to music what’s old is new again. From more contemporary versions of the classics to childhood favorites and what respectfully known as “yacht rock” featuring band that play old time favorites like The BGs, Hall and Oats, or Tom Jones…are gaining favor with today’s young and trendy wedding crowd. dv287037a
