Do You Watch Wedding Trends? |
Did you know these trends for 2009?
Designers are pushing wedding dresses with alternative styles and necklines, but brides still favor the strapless gown. The biggest trend for bridesmaids' attire is the wear-again dress. Couples still prefer traditional white wedding cakes, but custom-designed cakes are becoming popular. Consistently designed invitations, save-the-date cards, programs, escort/place cards, menus, and thank-you cards are becoming trendy. Photographs of the bride and groom are being taken before the ceremony in contradiction to the old tradition of the groom not seeing the bride in her dress before the ceremony. This is due to the trend of holding ceremony and reception at the same venue and reduces the waiting time of guests. Cinematic videography is a new and exciting alternative to standard video services. On-line photo showcasing, which allows couples, their family and friends to view, share and purchase wedding photographs is a rising trend. Extravagant weddings that include big gowns, multiple wardrobe changes, towering lush floral centerpieces, gilded place settings, seven course meals, and elaborate desert displays are expected for 2009. 1980's fashion styles are popular, including textured dresses, bright colors, wide belts or sashes, big jewelry, and cover bands. White gold and platinum wedding rings continue to outpace yellow gold. Currently in style are antique wedding rings for men and women, as well as exaggerated, big, bold jewelry. Destination weddings are growing in popularity due to all-inclusive packages offered by resorts and easy planning through their websites. High-end kitchen gear and practical cooking items are currently popular wedding gifts. Engagement photo session slide-shows are becoming popular wedding invitations. "Trash-the-dress" photo sessions are becoming the latest thing with some brides purchasing a used dress at bargain prices for the session.
