Wedding trends for 2007

Every year tried and true wedding methods and techniques seep into weddings, and every year new trends emerge to test the waters. But what does 2007 hold for brides in America? A lot of style and moving away from tradition. Brides are stepping out of the so-called box and making their day unique and memorable not only for themselves but also for the guests.

your dress like a work of art!

Giving a voice to the bridesmaids

The wedding dress is not the only attraction that attracts some changes. Bridesmaids’ dresses will no longer make your best bridesmaids flinch or your guests laugh; Empowering bridesmaids is what many brides have started to do this year. If you want to set a color scheme and let the bridesmaids go wild, go for it! After all, they are the ones who spend the mullah and the ones who keep the dress in the end.

occasion, so celebrate with as many treats as possible.

Give guests a show

Many brides are so preoccupied with planning their wedding day logistics that they completely forget about the guests. Of course, this is the bride’s day and no one else needs to worry, but in 2007 couples are creating more than the traditional ceremony and reception for the guests. Known as “downtime,” the pause when photos consume the couple’s attention can often create an unsettling moment for guests. During this time period, couples begin to give the guests something to talk about. Showing a slideshow, hiring a band, even hiring an entertainer are some of the new features on the reception menu. Perhaps setting up a photo booth for your guests, providing a scrapbook page to decorate, or simply providing disposable cameras can make a big difference in how guests remember your wedding day.

Today, brides and grooms want to show their own style and taste throughout their wedding. Personal touches will be seen around every corner, showing guests the true nature of the couple. Customizing the menus, chocolate gifts, cameras, attire, and wedding decorations will help create a consistent theme throughout the wedding. Consider using the same border or theme that was featured on your invitations on your wedding menus, place cards, or programs.

A great outlet

Along with the traditional white limousine, modes of transportation are evolving in 2007. Vintage cars, stretch SUVs, horse-drawn carriages, hot air balloons, and even boats take couples away after the celebrations are over. Think about how you want to make your big outing and go for it! Remember that this is the last impression you will make on your guests.

Where to get wed

Getting married in the chapel is not the only place to get married today. The trend towards destination weddings and weddings in various venues such as country clubs, resorts, spas, public gardens, yachts, B & Bs, hotels and more, expand wedding ideas / themes to limitless possibilities. Venues have started to take notice and have even started offering special wedding packages that give you the complete kit and caboodle for a set price.
