Well the first quarter of 2011 has come and gone, but boy did it leave its mark on wedding trends! So in these past 3 months, what trends have been popping up in weddings?

 

1)      Mason Jars – a funky centerpiece alternative to traditional clear vases. These jars have also been seen in colored glass for a pop of color. I also have to add that mason jars are being used as fun glasses for a signature cocktail or for lemonade before the ceremony. Here is a beautiful idea from a wedding featured in Martha Stewart Weddings.

2)      Lanterns – what a great way to create a romantic ambiance for your big day. Lanterns are a nice alternative to the traditional floral centerpiece on a table. TheKnot.com featured this striking image of a lantern centerpiece with bright accents for a nice budget friendly idea.

3)     Personalization – Ok, so obviously this isn’t a new trend but it’s still hot in 2011. There are millions and millions of different opportunities to leave a personal touch in your wedding design.

Keep your eyes on Black Chandeliers. This trend is quickly making its mark and will definitely be seen a lot in the future as a posh addition to wedding design. Check out www.black-chandelier.com/ for more ideas!

Looking forward through 2011 and into 2012, the Royal Wedding on April 29 is sure to create lots of new and exciting trends. So excited to see Kate Middleton’s dress (and train)!
