Top Trends for Upcoming Summer Weddings

shutterstock_143579107As you plan for your summer wedding, are you aware of the trends for 2015? From flowers to food, this year’s brides are thinking outside of the traditional box. Consider embracing one of these top wedding trends as you plan for your upcoming event.

Food and Drink as Center Stage

The 2015 wedding reception is less about the DJ and dancing and more about the food and drink being served. You can expect to see hanging salad stations and desert walls pegged with donuts at the 2015 summer wedding. Be prepared for much of the food to be locally grown as well. If you are getting married in a big city, consider hiring some food trucks to add a unique depth to the food offerings.

Rustic, Western Weddings

Brides are embracing the Wild West, or at least a subdued version of it, in their venues and decor. Today’s brides are just as likely to choose a rustic ranch for their nuptials as a traditional church. Wildflower bouquets come alongside leather, chalkboard and unfinished wood elements in decor to capture that rustic look.

Eco-Friendly Design Trends

Rustic often includes eco-friendly designs, with decorations harvested from nature. Today’s brides are all about recycling and embracing their green side, at least when planning their weddings. From eco-friendly invitations to recycled decor at the reception, this is one of the strongest trends for 2015 summer weddings.

New Bridal Colors

Colored bridal gowns are not a new trend, but instead of adding a bold hint of color in a sash or slip, the 2015 bride may go for a completely colored gown, particularly in a blush or light pink color. Still whimsical and feminine, this option embraces just a little more color than the traditional white or cream.
