Wedding Trends

The economy has become more consistent lately, and you can see the difference in the wedding world. Everyone is finding a new way to customize everything, and adding elements to the theme of their overall design of the wedding. Anytime you are creating a wedding, you are creating an experience, something people will remember. Even if you want a small intimate wedding, which we see more now as well, a smaller wedding does not mean less is more. Creating that intimate setting, you have the chance to have a more personalized wedding, which for some brides and grooms that can mean more. Even the bridal showers are becoming a little more non-traditional as well.

If you are looking for something new to shock your guest, here are some great ideas:

- carved ice sculpture to hold oysters, shrimp, and mussels

- mini food, everyone loves some mini portions

- a "midnight snack" this is a great idea to end the night with

- Something "to-go" as guest are leaving the party. Things like to go cupcakes, fresh cookies, coffee, beignets... etc.

- Ice sculpture bar... yes the actual bar is ice

- A non traditional cake - like cupcakes in the shape of a cake

- Glitter table cloths

- Cigar Bar

- Candy Bar
- Ice Cream/Sundae/Brownie Bar
- Flowers- the things you can do with flowers are endless! Between the altar, to the centerpieces. Flowers have become a very important part of every event, but buying flowers that are in season is much less expensive
- Providing games for those who don't like to dance
- Brooch Bouquets- this is such an adorable look if it is executed well

Themed Bridal Showers
- A couples shower- some grooms love to be involved, so don't forget about your men

- "Stock the Bar" they have cocktail style food and alcohol, and the gifts purchased are to "stock the bar"

- A monogram party- all the gifts to the bride have her new initials on the item
- A honeymoon themed shower
