How to be 'on trend' in 2018

With our New Years’ Resolutions sorted (or completely binned!) it is now time to look ahead at what is trending in 2018. If you need a little inspiration for your big day, look no further.

 

o     The colour to look out for this year is ultra violet. From floral displays to stationary, and even linen, purple will be the colour choice for many of our 2018 brides.

 

o      For brides who would like to make a statement, black is the new white! Monochrome details on bridal wear will be a big trend this year.

 

o     Let’s not forget the Grooms. Velvet is having a major come-back at the moment and a statement velvet jacket will go down a treat this year. Why not go completely wild and choose purple velvet to be ‘bang on trend’!

 

o      The Bridesmaid dress will soon be a thing of the past as ladies are now opting for separates. This gives your bridesmaids much more flexibility as they are able to choose a neckline that suits them best, or a skirt length that accentuates their curves. Bridesmaid strops will be a thing of the past!

 

o      The Metallic look will be staying with us in 2018, but we will be seeing a move from rose gold to copper accessories. Why not chose some beautiful copper candle holders or lanterns to decorate your table?

 

 

o      Forget about the traditional pudding, this year we will be seeing an explosion of wonderful dessert ideas from donut walls, macaroon stacks and whole desert tables filled with meringues, cookies and other sweet treats.

 

 

o     It is not only desserts that are going ‘off piste” this year. Gone are the days of the 3-course meal, now Brides and Grooms are thinking outside the box and opting for more imaginative food such as sharing platters, paellas and Pie Master! A great way to entertain your guests during your wedding breakfast.

 

 

o      Marbled wedding cakes will be huge this year, literally and metaphorically! These simple yet elegant designs are the perfect choice to fit any theme or colour scheme.

 

 

 

o    To really wow your guests this year, why not consider an animal encounter? Alpacas, peacocks and even turtles will be a fun addition to any wedding in 2018. Alternatively, if you have a special pet, bring it along to your drinks reception so they can be included in your special photos.
