Succlents have appeared adding bold texture to arrangements and they are very durable.

Lots of engagement ring trends have been surfacing lately. Simple, clean and unique looks are gaining popularity. Rose Gold rings exude romance, while coloured gemstones are definitely making their way back with brighter hues - from spinels to sapphires the

sky is the limit. Personalize rings by creating a custom ring stack. Some engagement rings are designed with coordinating wedding bands, but mixing and matching is becoming a popular option too.

Dresses

Capes are in for wedding dresses. A diaphanous cape in a light fabric can help any bride feel like a princess. Some women are using capes in place of a long veil, they are the ideal add on for winter and summer weddings. Fun Bell sleeves are right in style now. Bell sleeves help show off delicate wrists and well tone arms. Think about sleeves that create a flower like effect just right for any bride. Bell sleeves accentuate every womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best feature. Another popular trend is the hint of colour. Just a hint of color is in style. Subtle shades of pink are wonderful along with other pastels. If you want to add color to your look without getting a coloured dress, colourful shoes, belts and veils are a great alternative option.

Food

Every year, new trends surface when it comes to what food to serve at a wedding. In 2018 couples will be getting even more creative with how they feed their guests. More weddings will use “interactive appetizer stations”, like a make-your-own sushi table. For dinner you may see more “comfort food” dishes, with a decadent twist. Also more tropical twists will come into play such as grilled fruit, or alcohol-infused fruit. The dessert choice is becoming more adventurous with a “make it mini” trend which skips the wedding cake altogether and opts for a dessert table decked out with bitesize doughnuts or s’mores. To go along with the “woodsy and whimsical” themes, adding flowers to food not only looks beautiful, but it creates flavours that add to the wedding cuisine. Lavender, orange blossom and elderflower are one of the biggest food trends, and require minimal effort with maximum impact.

Decor Bohemian is the the New Rustic: Move over rustic barn weddings. Bohemian weddings are trending with whimsical details like quartz crystals. Create an artistic and relaxed look and incorporate crystal accents in table settings as well as bridesmaids’ jewellery. Balloons: Lots of couples are choosing balloons as an affordable alternative that add loads of colour and dimension to a room or gathering. From super-large to custom designs that are used in portrait shots, and as reception decor, balloons add a whimsical vibe. Don’t call it “rustic”, it’s the all-out “Woodsy” look. This includes a lot of greenery in the florals and green as the wedding’s main colour. There will be more wood details on invitations, table numbers, seating cards, tags, signage, tables and chairs.
