Finally spring is here, we can’t help but get crazy excited with the DC wedding season getting ready to begin, and with spring weddings
at that! There’s always something special to say about the spring wedding season. As a wedding planner
majority of our industry has been in hibernation for 3-4 months so it’s a restoration of their business getting back to the grind, and what better way to start the season off than with traditionally the whimsical and vibrant time of the year. This is the time when flowers are in peak blooms, and greens are as green as they’ll be all year! Fun Fact about me: I absolutely love all weddings but if I had to choose I would have to say spring weddings are my favorite! With that being said, we’ve rounded up our top 3 Spring 2018 Wedding Trends we can’t wait to dive head first into!
Wedding Flowers of Course – But in New Ways!
Couples are finding new ways to capture the “WoW factor into their weddings with their florals. See you later, pastels and neutrals. One of the 2018 wedding flower trends that we're most excited about is the return of color. Pantone's color of the year for 2018 is Ultra Violet, so naturally, we're expecting to see a lot of flowers in deep purple tones , like burgundy and plum. We especially love how these darker colors look when paired with abundant greenery and nature-inspired accents, like succulents, pampas grass, curly willow, and even feathers. Add flowers in lighter purple and pink shades, such as mauve and nostalgia rose , to create an arrangement that feels dramatic, edgy and a little bit mysterious.
Couples are breaking all the rules in 2018!
Wedding menus have come a long way since the days of overcooked chicken and white sheet cake. With foodie culture on the rise , 2018 wedding food trends include emphasis on the quality of their food, treating guests to mouth-watering menus featuring the freshest ingredients and trendiest displays. So what’s trending right now? Well, it’s all about creating an incredible dining experience with a menu that’s reflective of the couple themselves.This is one of the spring 2017 wedding trends we’re most excited about!
Behold the wedding cake 2018 trends!
Get your sweet tooth ready, because the 2018 wedding cake trends are here. In recent years, we’ve experienced the traditional wedding cakes (naked cakes, drip cakes, geode cakes), and it looks like 2018 is living up to the hype. Artistic elements, such as brushstroke confections and hand-painted floral details, are a major wedding trend for 2018 if you’re looking to make a statement at your dessert table. We also expect to see the return of simple buttercream wedding cakes with one very specific garnish (and no, it’s not greenery!).
