2009 Wedding Trends

As the old year departs and the new year begins, it’s time to check in on what wedding experts think will be hot this year. We’ve compiled some of the more interesting ones along with a link to their respective prognosticators:

Hot Color: Mimosa - according to Nina Calloway of About.com, Pantone 14-0848 TCX, or Mimosa, will be the bright, optimistic color of the year. While she does NOT recommend you use the color for an obnoxiously bright bridesmaid dress, she does offer other recommendations, Click HERE to see her blog post. 

Hot Wedding Dress Trend: A little leg and fashion-forward style: According to Bride.com and several other online resources, showing a little leg is in this year. While this may be too risque for the more conservative bunch, keeping an eye on fashion forward styles should not deter anyone. A comprehensive slideshow of styles is presented HERE.

Hot Photo Trend: The updated Photo Booth - according to The Knot, having your photographer provide you with options for renting a photo booth - complete with backdrops and props - is an up and coming trend. Click HERE to read more tips from The knot.

Hot “Green” Trend: Going Green and staying Green - This one is according to us. Although green wedding options have steadily grown in popularity over the last couple of years, the current economic downturn may seem like an easy time to “cop-out” on going green. It may seem that eco-friendly options are more expensive than conventional ones, but it’s been our experience that this is not true. Be it a green alternative to conventional items such as invitations, albums, flowers or dresses, prices are, many times, comparable.

So, remember to stay informed and stay green. Good luck.
