Hello all, can you believe we are nearing the end of March already?
Life has been very busy, in February I hosted my first blogger workshop entitled "Enhance What's your". Myself and Roanna, a fellow blogger and friend decided to combine both our blogs together to bring women the ultimate girls day out.
Our workshop featured fashion & bridal shows, wedding tips, dressing for your shape, makeup/ hair, skincare demo and fitness talk. With amazing goody bags and afternoon tea, sure what more could you want?
It was an amazing experience and it showed us that you don't need to be a big blogger to make an impact. After a lot of planning, support and dedication we got there, We both felt super proud of such an achievement.
Which leads me to this post at the workshop, I spoke about establishing your wedding story. Some of the elements I focused on were around wedding trends and adding details. I am going to share some of my tips with you now.
Hope you enjoy.
Greenery is the color for 2017, which is set by Pantone, who set a color each year. Greenery symbolizes "A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new " Do not think of the harsh Patricks Day green, it embodies all of the tones shown below. It is earthy, soft, clean and warm.
You can easily add a sprinkle of greenery to your wedding if you like it e.g. wedding invitations, table plan, flowers, table settings, name cards, centerpieces etc.

Dramatic entrance:
This is one trend that I am seeing more and more. It creates a beautiful frame to your ceremony or dinner entrance. Adding in draping softens an entrance and creates a sense of romance. The ivy and rose detail featurted below lift up and highlight the pathway to your story.
Signage:
Another big trend among brides and grooms is adding that pop of Hollywood to your venue. Lovin Letters supply an amazing range of letters and they kindly supplied letters for our Enhance What's yours Workshop. It felt so cool to have or name in lights.
Some couples dot signage throughout their wedding day. Signage can be used as a prop for photographs as you and your wedding party are getting ready. Used right they make for a great picture. You can also use signage on location e.g. before the ceremony and after, on your cake or feature table, entrance to the venue or in the reception of the venue. Really look at your wedding path and decide on where you add in this detail.
Below are some examples of signage.

Another trend under signage is Table Plan designs. This is an element that brides and grooms are getting more into, again they are wanting to create that eye-catching piece. Have a look at Table Plan Designs, they offer a bespoke service catering for your needs, Pauls designs are very fabulous.

Details:
Adding detail will help to make your wedding day pop, What I would say is, do not add too much detail, as it can consume your venue or ceremony location. Add enough to make a statement and be clear on what you want. The choices are huge so you need to be focused because Pinterest and Etsy are so fabulous they can add to the "I want it all syndrome".
A detail brides and grooms are loving are stations for their guests. These stations can be in place before or after the ceremony. e.g. Popcorn bar, pizza making station, candy floss, ice cream van, fish and chips, sweet station, cocktail making station or a dessert table instead of a cake. The list goes on and on having these stations is also a great way for guests to mix and they are fun.
Below are some examples

Balloons:
The are another detail that more brides & grooms are adding to their day. Fabulous for a rustic venue, garden party, barn or a festival themed wedding. These images are from Balloons for You.
Selfie Station:
We live in the era where selfies are the done thing. If you're the kinda bride or groom that love a selfie or group picture then why not add it into your wedding day.
Backdrops make a great feature for this and they are popping up a lot in weddings. In terms of design think floral, lighting, festival, draping. Here are some images below to inspire you.

There you have it, an introduction to trends and details, I really hope you enjoyed it. Starting next month I will be revisiting my wedding feature and I will be putting the spotlight on venues that I know you are going to love.
Until then you catch up on my previous wedding venue features below.

Trends:
They exist and they change every year. My advice is, do not get hung up on them. Take elements from "The Trends" if you want and if you like a color or a detail that was so last year, go with it if you like it and it fits into your wedding.Greenery is the color for 2017, which is set by Pantone, who set a color each year. Greenery symbolizes "A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new " Do not think of the harsh Patricks Day green, it embodies all of the tones shown below.
