nce an afterthought,

become a trend that cultivates a
theme, and promotes unity in appearance. The right color scheme
can even emit an aura of elegance
throughout your special day.
It may seem like a difficult job
to choose the color palette thats
right for you, but there are ways
to make it simpler.

SeekIng InSpIratIOn
Heres a few easy places to start:
Your favorite color: Identify
your favorite and then settle on
specifics? Like blue? Is that teal,
sapphire, or cornflower?
Consider the venue: What season will it be? rusts and chocolates
for fall. pastels and light colors
for spring, and bright wildflower
colors at the height of summer.
creATive inSPirATion
with all your colors chosen, then
its the time to get creative. Make a
mood board by scanning favorite
images or uploading photos of
dresses, shoes, styles, and use photoediting software to put together a
montage of your color and style
preferences.
websites like pinterest.com let
you do something similar online,
without the need of photo-editing
software.
if you prefer something more tangible, pin your inspirations to corkboard. Mood or inspiration boards
make it easier for your vendors to get
a glimpse of your wants so that they
can help you create the wedding of
your dreams.

Wedding Trends
Fifteen of the biggest trends for 2015
CoPPer
Cooper is going to make a surprising appearance as couples try
to find a way to make a pale wedding still pop. This is a trend not
seen for a long time and it works
with every style of wedding from
casual barn to upscale loft.
GLItter
The shine and sparkle factor will
be turned way up in 2015 because
there will be no competition in the
color arena.
WeDDInG GoWns
off the shoulder gowns. The
most recent bridal fashion week
showcased dozens of off the shoulder gowns, and the way they were
presented was very classic and
clean, sometimes with a whimsical
look.
rustIC ChIC
mason jars, burlap and lace are
still trendy and probably will be
thorugh 2016. But as this trend
overwhelms the wedding population, couples are trying to find
their own unique spin.
Instead of wildflowers and
wooden signs, pink colored
containers and big fluffy peonies.
Burlap is being replaced by sparkly
linens, and bistro lights are coming
down in favor of chandeliers.
FooD truCKs
Food has been very traditional
for the past several decades: sit
down or buffet. Food trucks are
now becoming a huge trend as
people realize that almost everything except food has changed at
weddings. Food trucks arent just
limited to fried goodness, they
include cupcake trucks, minieverythings from cheesecakes
to sliders, and more! There is no
wrong here and couples are even
using food trucks in place of a
formal dinner.

dIM suM
dim sum allows guests to sample
different foods without filling up. Carts
of dumplings and other small plates of
appetizers can be wheeled around so
everyone can choose what they want
and what they want to avoid.
Gourmet comfort food
People love familiar comfort foods,
but now gourmet comfort foods
are shaking up wedding receptions.
Mac-and-cheese with gouda and brie
or chicken pot pie with a puff-pastry
crust are a few offerings that can add
glamour to down-home cooking.
fOOd wItH a sHOw
Instead of passed foods or buffet stations, couples are opting to make food
an experience for guests. an oyster bar
with a chef serving fresh seafood or a
dessert master whipping up flamb is a
feast for the eyes and mouth.
InterestInG Buffet statIOns
keep guests on their toes with various meal stations. a bountiful display
of artisanal cheeses, fruits and breads
will be a cheese lovers dream. These
stations also can be appetizing focal
points around the room and ensure all
guests get a bite of what they like best.
faMIly style
rustic and informal weddings have
grown in popularity. rather than
food being brought to the guests or
participants lining up in buffet lines,
