2015 is upon us and while weddings have begun, wedding season is fast approaching. Unity Wedding Boutique has found the top 5 trends you may want to use for your big day!

Formal & Themes

Formal weddings are in again along with themed events. Show off your style by choosing a theme

Surprising Venues

Traditional ceremonies in a church followed by traditional receptions in catering halls and hotels are no longer the hype. Traditions change so be adventuresome with your venue. Want a classic? Try your local library. Want romantic? Go for an art gallery or botanical garden. Need something a little more eccentric? Try an Aquarium, Zoo, or even a sports facility like a baseball or football stadium!

Mix Up the Colors

Clean palettes are soft, elegant, romantic, and classic. They make for beautiful weddings, but why stop there? Mix them with a bold color like the 2015 color of the year, Marsala, from Pantone. Mixing clean and bold colors makes for an eccentric but still elegant palette to set your wedding apart!

What’s Old is New Again

Re-vamp your music! Everyone loves classic music at a wedding, you can’t go wrong with Etta James singing At Last or any of your other favorites from other artists. Instead of just using the classic – old version though, vamp it up by using the new version of the old. Jason Mraz has re-recorded At Last or you can even make it more fun by choosing other songs you love that new artists have made their own. Example: Grease – You’re the one that I want try the slower more intimate version by The Lennings.

Unconventional Foods

Food stations are all the rage at weddings these days but so are serving new foods. You can serve fresh from the garden by bringing the farm to table aspect to your reception or use international cuisine. Make your wedding really interesting by changing the flavors of your wedding cake! Couples these days are choosing to be bold by selecting flavors such as Aztec Hot Chocolate or Honey Lavender.

What do these trends all have in common?  Weddings are about the couple and these trends focus on letting your personalities shine through!
