2010 Spring Wedding Trends
There are several major changes in wedding trends this year. People are personalizing their wedding like never before. The big trend this year is to make your wedding truly your own. Couples are designing their weddings around what they truly want and not what is big this year. Being unconventional is definitely the “in thing” this year. Grooms today are taking a bigger part in planning the wedding. With the groom helping to make decisions and selections, the wedding truly becomes the wedding of the couple.
One of the biggest changes in clothing is to mix and match the bridesmaids’ dresses. Dresses are selected to flatter each individual bridesmaid in the color scheme that has been selected. Vintage has beyond a doubt made a come-back and wedding showcase the vintage look at full advantage. The retro look is very popular and can be a complete look or combined with other looks.
Bright colors are in again this year and look like jewels when combined with a black backdrop. With bright colors, black accents will make the colors stand out even more. However, if you do not like bright colors, do not feel like you have to wear them. If you prefer pastels, then plan your wedding around the softness of the pastel palette. When using pastel palettes, it is usually better to use white or cream as a backdrop to display your colors.
Another huge change in wedding trends is the decision to have a green wedding. Finding wedding gowns in consignment shops, classified ads, second-hand shops, yard sales and antique stores can not only be much less expensive, but also fun. Green weddings can feature food that is grown in the local area and is usually served buffet style. This is also a time to find wonderful recycled paper invitations to announce your special day.
Outdoor weddings are going to be popular this year. Whether you choose the forest, the beach, the park or your own backyard, it is hard to beat the natural beauty of the great outdoors. Not only does the outdoors wedding save money in wedding expenses, it gives a sense of freedom that you will not find in a building. Having a tent available is a great idea in case the weather changes and it rains.
One of the biggest wedding trends for the spring wedding season in 2010 is that the wedding couple chooses not to be separated on their wedding day. In the past the bride and groom were kept separate all day up until the wedding ceremony. Now many couples chose to send the entire day together and share every aspect of their wedding.
