Hot Summer Wedding Trends For 2011

Summer is here and we've seen a lot of fun and fabulous trends starting to emerge!

Trend 1: Color Theme
                When people think of summer they think of bright colors, such as orange, pink, teal, and purple. Make sure you aren’t doing too many colors because then your wedding day may look like a carnival. You want to stick with no more than two primary colors. For example you can do a natural color with a bright pink which will make the pink pop.  



Trend 2: Personalized Theme
                Is there a special memory you'd like to incorporate into the wedding?  For example, maybe on your first date you went apple picking.  To incorporate the special memory, give apple seeds as favors or have your actual wedding at an apple orchard.


Trend 3: Beyond Wedding Cakes
                Why do that boring old white wedding cake?  Instead of a cake do a tower of cupcakes or petite desserts.  Dessert bars are all the rage - cookie bar, ice cream sundae bar or pie bar - your guests will love the variety.  Add a candy bar and you've got all areas covered.  Don't forget the goody bags so guests can take some home!
 

 Trend 4: Bright Colors = Bright Wedding Accessories
                It's all about color, so why not the shoes?  Add a little color and sparkle that gives a fun, unexpected element. 


Trend 5: Eco-Friendly Favors
                We are all thinking about the environment these days, so why not use your wedding to give back.  Some fun favors are local herb in a tint can or a jar of honey. Something guests will use rather than tossing into that “everything” drawer.  Selecting a charity you feel passionate about is also a great way to give back.
