2007 Wedding Trends
Are you getting married in 2007? If so, you may want to check out
some of the hottest wedding trends for the year. In this article,
you'll learn about the best trends for every aspect of your big day,
from the location to the wedding cake.
Wedding Location
Speaking of location, anything goes this year. Some couples stick
with a traditional church wedding, but others are getting married in
sunny parks, rustic lodges or even medieval castles. The destination
wedding is also popular, with locales like Aruba and Hawaii topping
the list.
Theme Weddings
Theme weddings are another popular trend. Themes can celebrate your
various preferences while making your wedding easier to plan and
coordinate. Examples of themes include beach, tropical, English
garden, gothic,
Victorian,
and
Christmas. You can reflect your theme in every aspect of your
wedding. Your decorations, colors, apparel and menu can all have
something to do with the theme you choose. For example, a
beach theme wedding
might feature colors like sand and turquoise, and decorations like
seashells. An
English
garden theme would of course have lots of flowers and delicate
tea china.
Food is an important aspect of any wedding and reception, with the
centerpiece being your wedding cake. The traditional multi-tiered
white wedding cake is still a popular choice, but there are some new
trends that couples are choosing. One is the
cupcake wedding
cake. Individual cupcakes are decorated to match your theme or
color scheme and stacked on tiers to resemble a traditional wedding
cake. Another hot trend is the colorful wedding cake, adorned with
everything from bright rainbow colored frosting to fresh, edible
flowers. Or, go for a wedding cake that features a different flavor
for each layer.
Wedding favors are also
crucial for your big day. People used to throw rice at the bride and
groom until it was discovered that rice is harmful for birds to eat.
New trends in wedding favors include tulle-wrapped bundles of
birdseed. This preserves the tradition of throwing grain yet is safe
for feathered friends. Another trend in the wedding favor department
is the disposable camera. By giving each guest a disposable camera,
they can capture their own version of your big day. Miniature
bottles of bubbles are also a hot idea, as they add a whimsical and
romantic touch to the environment.
Your wedding is a very special day that transcends what is trendy
and what is not. Each couple has their own likes and dislikes. When
planning your big day, every aspect you choose should celebrate your
own vision of what the perfect wedding should be like. If you stay
true to your own dreams and ideas, you're sure to plan a wedding
that is a memorable celebration of love and commitment.
