Spotlight- Wedding Trends

It's been a minute I blogged ;) My appologies! I've had soo much going on and am very excited about the future for Alexis Mag-Admot. I can't burst all out to share it just yet. But definately watch out!

I know this is a little late in the year to blog about this, but I thought to share anyway. If you haven't already figured out what the trends are in 2010; do enjoy the read below!

Bird Cage Veils

The Vintage-look veils combine a jeweled clip or feathered headpiece with netting that only covers the face.Wearing one allows you to have some dramatic glamor and feel like a bride, but is a more fun look and less hassling than a long traditional veil.

Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses

Over the years, brides have been selecting a bridesmaid dress designer and a fabric, then letting their bridesmaids choose the style that works best for their bodies. But the 2010 wedding trend takes idea further. Choose only a color, then let your bridesmaids find an off-the-rack dress of any designer that they like. Not only does this take some pressure off of you, but it also ensures that women are choosing a dress they like and they'll be likely to actually wear again. If you follow this trend, be sure to tell your bridesmaids how formal the dress should be – you don't want one bridesmaid wearing a casual sundress while another has on a beaded evening gown (Matchy-matchy weddings, where the chair bows must match the favours, the save the date cards and the mother-of-the-bride’s corsage are both stressful and expensive. Luckily, with a mismatched theme to your wedding, all these problems seem to melt away)


Short Engagements
Though a year is a good amount of time for an engagment it certainly isn't obligatory. Some couples will be planning quick elopements, while others will opt for longer engagements. There are advantages to both – a quick engagement means that you don't overwhelm yourself with trying to plan the perfect wedding, and often means that you spend less money on unnecessary things. A long engagement can help relieve the stress, spreading out the tasks and the expenses, but if money isn't an issue, then why wait!

Candy Buffets

For the couple that wants to save some money on the dessert table, a candy buffet can help to offset costs with a build-your-own sundae theme around a simple wedding cake. Candy buffets are also appearing with a fondue theme where wedding guests can enjoy sample sizes of miniature cakes, brownies, and cookies and dip them in a fondue pot or a chocolate fountain.

Oversized Bows

Vera Wang is among the many designers embracing the trend of oversized bows for the 2010 wedding season, and bridal gowns are embellished with large, satin bows tied that serve as a part of the sash at the waist, or are placed directly under the bustline for romantic twist. Bows are also appearing on the shoulder, and to trim shoes and other accessories on the wedding day.
