Wedding Trends for the 21st Century
A posting from Emilypost.com lists the following trends as
increasing in importance for the weddings currently being planned.
·
Personalized
weddings are increasing. Brides may
follow traditional guidelines for the ceremony and reception, but they also
want their day to have elements that are unique for the couple and which make
the event memorable. Creating a monogram
that is used throughout the process or adopting a signature color or theme are
ways they are putting their individual stamp on the event. Invitations may be the first indicator of a
couple’s decision to make the wedding uniquely
theirs.
·
Cost
sharing is common. At one time the
bride’s family funded the event, but with couples being older and both
employed, wedding costs can be shared or even funded solely by the bride and
groom. What has not changed is the need
to have clarity around who is paying for what.
·
High Tech
influence is clear. The internet
plays a growing role in registries, vendor research and selection and
information sharing related to the wedding.
Maps, instructions and even invitation design are possible with the help
of electronics.
·
Color is
appearing in more and more bridal gowns.
Color themes are increasing popular and influence all aspects of the
wedding –flowers, invitations, attendant attire, reception décor and even food,
beverage and cake display.
·
Grooms
are more actively involved in wedding planning and choices. Couples often take mutual responsibility for
all aspects of wedding decision making – guest list, financing and even writing
thank you notes.
