Here's What Wedding Experts Have To Say!

Weddings today are more elaborate, more artisan, and more creative than ever before! That's because couples today not only tailor the wedding to fit their needs, they're more focused on expressing themselves to their guests and their experience. With that said, here are the some of the hottest trends we expect to continue in 2018!

1. Lots of silver and chrome - “Now that we’re seeing so much of the 1970’s influencing home décor lately, silver and chrome are making a comeback,” says Melissa McNeely of Events by Melissa McNeely in New York City.

2. Navy is the new black - “Instead of a classic black and white engraved invitation, couple’s are opting for a deep midnight blue letterpressed invitation,” she explains. “And we’re seeing a lot of navy blue bridesmaid dresses too, " adds Beth Bernstein of SQN Events in Chicago.

3. Weddings are becoming more formal - Nora Sheils of Bridal Bliss Event Planning in the Pacific Northwest says “We are seeing cleaner florals, classic tuxedos, and a hint of sparkle.” 

4. Unique food - “Something we have been hearing more and more from our couples is how important food is to them,” Shells says. “They want to present their guests with a new food experience, or one that resonates with their personal style.” 

5. They're getting sweeter - Among creative desserts such as ice cream sandwiches and popsicles, Bernstein adds that “Wedding cakes are back, and the cake cutting ceremony is coming back. Couples want that photo in their album, the same one their parents have in theirs."

6. New ways to entertain - “For 2018 wedding trends, it's very much about creating an incredible experience for guests,” says Emily Sullivan of Emily Sullivan Events in New Orleans. Think the photo-booth re-imagined.
