What will the hot wedding trends of 2008 be?
January 12, 2008
I just came across a list of wedding trends to watch out for this coming year. The trends I liked best were:
Green Weddings
…for couples who want to do their part to help the Earth. Green weddings can incorporate such things as invitations made of recycled paper, conflict-free diamond jewelry and honeymoons to eco-resorts.
Interactive Planning
Everyone has a wedding website nowadays, so why not make your wedding planning interactive? Set up a bunch of polls and have your guests vote on various aspects of the wedding (e.g., first dance? cake flavor? favors?).
Cover Bands
How cool would it be to have a Guns N’ Roses cover band at your wedding? Or… maybe that’s just me. 
Swing orchestras, Latin ensembles, and many other types of cover/tribute bands can add a special feel to a wedding.
Sample Stations
Wine and cheese station, chocolate station, champagne bar… yum!
Vintage Visions
More couples will aim for an old-fashioned look with dresses, suits and rings that are either genuinely vintage or cleverly designed to seem that way.
Other trends included: Switching up one’s gown or hairstyle halfway through the event, ’steel gray’ as an accent color, and having weddings at home.
Nice to see that green weddings are becoming more mainstream. One way in which you can be a little greener is to source your flowers locally that way you will reduce your flower miles.
