As 2019 is now well under way, those who are getting married this year will be considering how to style their wedding to make it stand out from the crowd. There are a few unique wedding trends around this year that are so easy to incorporate into the big day, so consider one or two of these.
Podcast Planning
These days everything you need to plan a wedding can be found online, from suppliers to venues. Trawling through it all though can be a bit time-consuming and many have been looking for a different approach. Wedding podcasts are becoming very popular and a quick search online will find more than a few that you can try. You can listen and pick up a few hints and tips at any time and you can keep up with the podcast no matter where you are.
Dried Flowers
Fresh flowers are no longer the most popular option for those who are planning a bouquet. This year’s trend is dried flowers. Some floral artists are incorporating them into bouquets of fresh flowers and foliage but others are using them for whole bouquets and displays. They have the advantage of looking unusual and rustic, and they are also a sustainable option that will last – no watching the bridal bouquet dying in the days following the wedding. Dried flowers are also a good option if you want specific blooms but at the wrong time of the year. Rather than take the step of buying imported blooms, you can buy locally grown flowers at the right time of the year and dry them yourself.
Gospel choirs
If you want to add a royal touch to your wedding, then follow in the footsteps of Harry and Meghan and opt for a gospel choir to entertain your guests. Anyone who watched the royal wedding will know how wonderful the choir sounded and if this is the type of music that you would like to have at your ceremony then it is relatively easy to find a choir locally who can be hired for events such as weddings. A quick look on the internet will help you to find exactly what you are looking for.
Entertainment for the reception
This is about more than a live band or DJ. A wedding artist is a new trend that will be very personal to your day. Why not opt for a caricaturist who can highlight all the funniest aspects of your guests and the day? A silhouette artist will create classic images of your guests and all they need is some black paper and card to sit the image on. For something that the bride and groom can keep for a long time, a water color artist can work on images of the venue, the ceremony and the reception.
Most of these trends can be personalized to suit your own tastes, allowing you to create completely unique features for your wedding.
