Trend Influences

Instagram has 100% influenced styling trends and I think it will only continue to do. We sadly don't get sent images from magazines anymore, or even saved photos but rather screen-shots. All screen-shots and mainly from instagram. I think because Instagram is a great tool to visually market the story of your brand, it draws you in to the aesthetics and the design that goes in to weddings and events which ultimately sell the look. Whilst we love this tool, we still always encourage our couples to inject their personality in to the day also. You can still have an insta-worthy day with heart and meaningfulness too and that's something we are really passionate about holding on to in the world of new t echnology.

The average budget we are seeing has increased to $80k and couples are continuing to be very intentional about the creatives they are adding to their wedding team. They are following wedding creatives on Instagram well before hiring to make sure they have the same values. Couples also want to be inspired by their stories (why they started their business, who they are), and want to see the diversity in their teams as well.

Celebrity weddings leading the wedding trends...

Keeping with the natural and organic vibe, we'll be seeing lots of weddings inspired by places like deserts and even jungles. Outdoor weddings are always popular, but even if that's not possible, we'll still get that feeling indoors with vibrant colors and textures being used through flowers, linens and st at ionery.

The organic and boho chic vibe is moving into 2020, and for very good reasons. First of all, the natural look is gorgeous and it doesn't matter what color you use because they all work. Secondly, it's a versatile design and you can go full on nature or you can glam it up with bling and crystals.

If this isn't the year that we see Bermuda as a trendy destination spot, then I have no idea when its going to happen. Bermuda has gotten a steady amount of press in the past two years, and given how close it is to NYC, it's an easy trip to make. Plus, there is something there for every style, and it's about as luxurious as you can imagine.
