Whats hot for floral wedding trends in 2014

The Origin of Wedding Trends

What’s new and hot in the wedding industry takes cues from a few sources:

•  Pop culture.  Think about the influence of shows like Mad Men and the Royal Wedding had on wedding fashion and style.

•  High art.  Popular museum exhibits and art inspire new trends.

• Haute couture.  The hottest styles on the runway are adapted to influence wedding gown design and popular wedding themes.

1) Refined Woodland – This trend is inspired by Sean Parker’s whimsical wedding in the redwoods.  You’ll see this reflected in 2014 weddings with gowns containing floral accents and vines, flower crowns for the bride, and natural fiber, wood and ferns in the décor.

2) Old World Opulence – The upcoming tribute to 19th century fashion icon Charles James and shows like NBC’s Dracula are sure to inspire a return to the elegant ballroom.  Look for ball gowns and full skirts, gloves and pearls, and formal dining.

3) Pop Art Graphics – This trend draws its inspiration from pop art “cartoons.”  This will be reflected in gown choices that have shorter hemlines and a modern look.  Pop are graphics will make an appearance on invitations and paper.

4) Geometric – This trend evolves from the geometric patterns appearing on the runways.  You’ll see modern, clean lines in dresses and décor.

5) Grecian – For couples who want the elegance of Old World design delivered with more simplicity, they’ll take their cues from the streamlined, modern Grecian looks appearing on the Red Carpet.

6) Marbleized – The marbleized style will appear in invitations, décor and even on the cake.  It suits creative hipster couples planning weddings with a hand-crafted touch.  (Think tie-dye, with oodles more class.)

7) High Tech Receptions – Young couples are increasingly enamored with technology, and they’re going to use this as a theme for the wedding.  Wedding apps, mobile devices, and technology will be encouraged and featured.
