The Wedding Dash

Spring is here and love is in the air. Many men have bought a ring and are waiting for the right moment to pop the question to that much anticipating love of theirs. After the engagement, the wedding preps begin. It’s a stressful but exciting time, especially for the women. The man usually just sits back in the wings and shows up at the ceremony, not taking much of a roll in the planning! Why is it we marry them again? Oh yeah, we love them. That’s why.

There are several trends this season in the wedding arena. One I’ll start with is the gowns’. Many women are adding color to their dresses that accent the colors used in the wedding theme. One trend is putting color in the train of the dress, such as blue or silver (gunmetal grey, steel, or brushed silver, which can be carried into other aspects of the weeding such as brides maids dresses.) These are hot colors this year. Another is just adding a trim to the rim of the bottom of the skirt. Both look very nice, are fashionable and classy.

Another trend has to do with the headpieces being used this season. Birdcage veils are very popular this year, instead of using the traditional long veil. The birdcage only covers the front of your face down to about your nose area and uses heavy netting in white or heavy tulle. It’s a throwback to the fifties, and I just love this look!! Very modern and classy at the same time, absolutely beautiful!

One last trend is the colors that are popular this year. The hottest are blues, in any shade. Combining these blues in lights and darks and everything in between is just plain HOT! Blue is traditional, timeless and classic. If you would like something to complement your blue theme, neutrals’ like creams and white are a great companion. Other colors that seem to be liked this season for weddings are sherbets, such as lemons, salmons, and pale pinks.

Just remember, over all, have fun! Each has their own opinion to give you while you are trying to make decisions. Smile, listen and understand that they are recalling their own happy occasion. But do what makes you happy on your special day. You don’t have to follow the trends if it doesn’t suit you! This is your day, and the only wedding you’re going to have, so make it uniquely yours. Do what brings a smile to your face!
