Personalizing a wedding in an offbeat and unconventional way is becoming more popular with modern brides. Gone are the days of traditional white weddings with decor featuring bells and doves. From bohemian dresses to mustaches on sticks, creating a personal ceremony and reception is as easy as reflecting your own fashion style or interests. Here are a few of my favorite wedding trends.
Vintage themes:
Inspired by the 1920's and 1930's this couple recreated a vintage vibe by choosing a victorian venue, bohemian dresses and sepia toned photographs. No detail was left untouched including the beautiful headpiece and top hat.
Zombie wedding cakes;
This idea may not be everyone's cup of tea but done correctly can create quite a buzz and a few giggles at the reception. This bride and groom started off their zombie theme with invitations featuring green manic hands and blood splatter. Although the ceremony and reception was classy and elegant , bits of the zombie theme creeped into the décor in stylish ways.
Feather bouquets:
Feather bouquets are gaining in popularity as an alternative to fresh cut flowers. They last longer, they're easy to transport and are a great alternative if the bride is allergic to pollen. Most importantly, they are gorgeous! Ask your florist if this is a service they provide, you'll be surprised!
Wish lanterns:
Wish lanterns are a beautiful way to end an evening of celebration. Whether you choose flying lanterns or floating ones, the candle light will definitely make an impact for years to come. Guests can write their wishes for the bride and groom onto the lantern directly and copy their sentiments onto a tag that the couple can keep. The lanterns can then be let go one at a time or all at once creating a beautiful alternative to rice or birdseed. If purchasing a lantern for each guest is too expensive, have 5 guests share one or use a wish lantern in the ceremony instead of a unity candle.
