Weddings Windsor, Ontario, Unique is In!

I have been reading about 2013 Wedding trends and the trend is continuing with unique, signature-style weddings . With the influence of year’s gone by, the style is moving toward varied venues,  which are not necessarily less expensive, but certainly are more intimate and personal. A back yard tented affair is more easy-going for everyone. Your guests are more relaxed and it can be a great and moderately priced entertaining choice,  or you can go all-out.

Perhaps decorating is the bride’s hot button and she goes all out to create their own space, unique to both her and her fiancé. Everyone has their own style.

We previewed covers for our current Wedding Guide over 6 months ago and agreed unanimously that the classic/elegant wedding was going to continue to emerge strong for 2013.

Veils of all lengths with embellished lace trim or a feather, jewel-clip or headband is the favourite choice for brides. No bride will be caught without something on her head as the choices are varied  for her.  Head pieces and Fascinators will also continue to be strong as  they makes a statement and are more fun to wear and look at than the long veils of your mother’s day.

Looking ahead to bridesmaids dresses, and we have all been there; there’s more freedom to having the bride pick her colour and letting the attendants buy their own styles, and meld the look together as one.  The only key is to make certain that the styles are all either formal or informal. The two looks together won’t  work!

There are more emerging trends that deserve to be watched. Ball gowns that flow like Scarlet’s wardrobe in Gone With the Wind, outdoor weddings on farms, vineyards, zoos, old train stations and local white sandy beaches.  We are seeing balloons come back strong as well as paper lanterns.  Gloves which we haven’t seen in 15 years are staring to appear in all styles and lengths.

Bright colours are in – rich hues in gem colours such as a the colour of the year Emerald promises to be popular. Royal purple continues its luxe feeling for the many wedding themes.

To everyone planning a wedding; there has been no time as exciting as right now for your wedding day. The sky’s the limit, the mood is fun and friendly, and you have every option in the world to say ” I do” your way.

Wedding Perceptions- AP Poll, Ceremony is favourite

A quick note about the perception of weddings by men and women.

loniceremony

In order of preferences: Watching the ceremony, the music and dancing, the food, brides gown, toasts and speeches, cutting the cake, seeing the bridesmaids’ dresses, throwing the bouquet, throwing the garter and, lastly the receiving line. Women loved the ceremony best, followed by seeing the bride’s gown. Men loved the food at the reception. The least favourite part of wedding for women was the receiving line. The least favourite for men was seeing the bridesmaids’ dresses.

The Wedding Guide Windsor/Essex County, There’s No Better Time to Marry! Couples Have more Choices!

I’ve been reading about 2010 Wedding trends. It is pointing to a more unique, signature-style wedding . With the influence of year’s gone by, the style is moving toward home weddings, which aren’t necessarily less expensive, but certainly are more intimate and personal. A back yard is more easy-going for everyone. Your guests are more relaxed and it can be a great and moderately priced entertaining choice,  or you can go all-out.

Perhaps decorating is the bride’s hot button and she goes all out to create their own space, unique to both her and her fiancé. She may then decide to cut back on favours completely. Everyone has their own style.We previewed covers for our current Wedding Guide over 6 months ago and go and agreed unanimously that the Hollywood look was going to continue to emerge as a  strong trend.

The consensus was a very glam, opulent and vintage cover. We have since learned that our cover girl, Brooke Boyle is vying for The Miss Universe Canada Contest in Toronto this week. And, the best of the best is that she is also a local Windsor/Essex native and she is engaged! All the best tomorrow, Brooke. 2

Veils with a feather or a jewel-clip and netting is the favourite choice for brides and they cover only the face. This is going to continue to be the head-piece rage well into 2010. It makes a statement and is more fun to wear and look at than the long trains of your mother’s day.

Looking ahead to bridesmaids dresses, and we’ve all been there; there’s more freedom to having the bride pick her colour and letting the gals buy their own styles, and meld the look together as one. The only key is too make certain that the styles are all either formal or informal. The two looks together won’t do it!

There are more emerging trends that deserve to be watched. Wedding pies, for- rent commercial aircrafts for ceremonys, ball gowns that flow like Scarlet’s wardrobe in Gone With the Wind, and outdoor weddings on farms, vineyards, zoos, old train stations and local, white sandy beaches.

Special decorating touches like your mother’s roses in antique vases will grace the guests’ tables.

Bright colours are in – rich hues in gem colours such as amber, plum and navy are coming into vogue. Copper, buttercream and black are also on the horizon.

To everyone planning a wedding; there has been no time as exciting as right now for your wedding day. The sky’s the limit, the mood is fun and friendly, and you have every option in the world to say ” I do” your way.

Until later,
