Spring Wedding Trends 2021!

Without question, the wedding trends for 2021 are going to be influenced by the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020. Weddings are now adopting a ‘go big or go home’ mentality for postponed weddings, this period of time we’ve been stuck in our homes – not able to hug our loved ones – will have a profound effect on how we choose to celebrate. You’ll see on this list both a trend for intimate micro weddings and maxi-weddings where everything from your outfits to your music is oversized and extravagant. That’s because we’ll see two clear paths emerging out of 2020: those who feel the need to scale back and focus on a tight-knit group of nearest and dearest, and those whose passion to celebrate with everyone they care for means a BIG guest list. Expect 2021 to be a bumper year for weddings, thanks to postponed dates from this year. And with each of those couples putting their own personality and flavour on their day, we predict a really surge in creative and unique weddings.   Acts of Gratitude- as a whole, weddings will have an even deeper meaning; an extra layer to the day where there is a moment to stop and reflect on the events of the past 12 months and be grateful for good health and safety, to honour the opportunity of being finally able to celebrate with loved ones. Though time-consuming, a personal note on each guest place setting is a hugely meaningful gesture. Choose special guests, such as grandparents or close friends, to take home one of the flower arrangements at the end of the night. Smaller things include baking special ‘thank you’ treats for each guest, or hiring one or two babysitters [...]

Acceptable & Exceptional Bridal Party Gifts

You are planning a wedding, it is getting costly and the dough is running low. However, you still want to thank your bridal party and parents for being involved. Ultimately, this is a decision that shouldn't be made lightly but your wallet shouldn't be emptied out either. If you have a large bridal party and two or more sets of parents, getting everyone gifts can add up quick. There are plenty of meaningful and cost effective presents that show gratitude for the help your bridal party is giving. The average cost for a gift through polls and other sources have been found to be around $75-$100. If your budget is on the lower scale of those costs, that is ok!  No matter what, I'm sure your bridesmaids and groomsmen will love anything you give them! Here are some options that may be best for you and your bridal party. Jewelry A sparkly thank you can make any one feel special, your bridesmaids especially. If you plan on having them wear your gift on your wedding day, be sure to tell them, or hint to them ahead of time. Moms and bridesmaids may already be spending quite a bit to take part. So a little something shiny to wear, can go a long way! Especially with photos! On Etsy, you can find any item similar to these from $5-$30 each. Fashion & Accessories Most of the time, the ladies will be getting ready in the same room at the same time. Possibly sharing laughs, music, and mimosas as well. While getting ready, something comfy to wear like a robe or t-shirt with a special custom title can be the perfect thing. Matching gear is [...]

Top Wedding Trends for 2017 Continued!

Thought we were done?? We were just getting started! Let’s keep things rolling with more of the top trends for the upcoming year!!  Macramé  Now is the time to wish you had paid closer attention to your grandmother while she knit you a scarf! 1970 might have had its highlighting moments with macramé, but it has been making its way into more and more weddings in renewed and unexpected ways! It is a perfect accent for the bride who is looking to keep a boho flare to their special day!    Rompers In our last blog, we talked about floral bridesmaid dresses- well the fun doesn’t stop there! Everyone knows that the bride tribe is the best possible team of ladies you could ask for. So, here’s a new flare to keep your ladies comfortable and ready to party all night long- ROMPERS! I’d have to say my favorite part about romps is the ability to wear normal bras! Everyone hates having to tug up a strapless or worry if the sticky part on your sticky bra will make it through the night! The only ‘bad’ part about the one piece is a little added effort in going to the ladies’ room, but it’s well worth the cute and versatile look!  Geodes & Agates Weddings Rock! Literally. Yes, rocks…but not the dirty ones in your backyard. Geodes, rocks with sparkling crystals on the inside; and Agate slices, which have a unique pattern of vibrant and soft colors and a rich tone and texture to any wedding. From table numbers to place cards to cake toppers, these gems have been found at elegant ballrooms to rustic barns!  Stained Glass Cakes Stained [...]
