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.
