May 18, 2017

Things are beginning to heat up for 2017 summer brides especially with some of this season’s most sensational trends.

1. Beauty Bars: Touch up stations are trending giving the bride and her guests a place to go and get their hair and makeup refreshed.

2. Riverboat Cruise Receptions: Couples are taking to the “high seas” for receptions that are sure to make some waves.

3. Petite Parties: Brides and grooms are going minimalist, even when it comes to their bridal party. In fact, many are choosing to have ONLY a maid of honor and a best man.

4. Tiny Treats: Skip the sensationalism and go for magnificent mini desserts in lieu of larger cakes and candy bars.

5. Fairytale Veils: Brides are choosing body veils in lieu of the traditional face-covering….allowing their veil to trail behind them….and that includes contemporary bridal capes….oh so classy and couture.

6. Organic options: From farm to table foods, vegan and gluten-free desserts and pesticide free flowers, this year’s brides are getting their inspiration from nature.

7. The Off-Beat Bride: Brides and grooms are choosing off beat locations such as old ice-cream factories, libraries, etc. and the are opting for off-beat days of the week (to tie the know) and save some money.
