With thanks to The Knot and all their wonderful photographers and designers i present to you:
TOP 11 Trends for 2011!
1. Prohibition-Era Style
Hello 1920's! Get out the Moonshine and hed down to the local speak-easy! This hot trend is perfect for all ages. Think lace and pearls!
2. Refined Princess Wedding Dress
Why stop at the dress? Every bride should feel and look like a princess on her wedding day!
Why not be just like Kate? Add statement-making headwear like tasteful tiaras (seriously!) and cathedral-length veils. And don't be afraid of sophisticated sequins and beading showing up on everything from the wedding dress to the floral arrangements and the wedding cake.
3.Sultry Ballerina Styled Weddings
Get out the twinkling lights and fairy dust! This fun and whimsical style can transform any venue. From feathered headpieces and shredded fabrics to airy plumes and pale pinks paired with black, the look of the season is all about ambient romance.
4. Ivy League Chic Weddings
From Fair Isle sweaters to Vineyard Vines ties and Tommy Hilfiger blazers, preppy chic is back in a big way, and weddings aren't immune. Channel your inner Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl or Ali MacGraw from Love Story and incorporate Ivy League-chic details like plaids and stripes for the perfect remix of retro, preppy sensibility. This style wedding is fabulous and can be pulled off no matter where you may be.
5. Exotic Indian Inspiration
What Bride doesnt want to feel like Katy Perry with her so trendy Indian Wedding?
Throw a little spice into your wedding with this look, by adding vibrant color palets, hot foods, and delicious desserts.
6. Wedding Man Caves
Now ladies, remember the Groom in all of this. He needs something too! Create a "Groom's Corner for your man and his boys! Throw in a little space for a whiskey bar, cigars, and maybe even a little blackjack.
7. Pre-Wedding PJ Parties
Now ladies, leave yourself some recovery time from the Bachelorette party. Leave the night before the wedding for some true girl time. With popcorn, movies, and pjs! The perfect way to unwind before the big day!
8. Food Truck Fun
Mobile Food Trucks are the new, hot thing and I don't see this trend fading at all!
Waffles, tacos and dumplings -- oh yes! If you have a hunger for gourmet food trucks, embrace it wholeheartedly by requesting makeshift sidewalk carts during the cocktail hour or food trucks for the wedding after-party.
9. Haute Desserts
Blame it on the popularity of Top Chef: Just Desserts, Amazing Cakes and Cake Boss, but cake bakers and pastry chefs are churning out incredible desserts and wedding cakes with gourmet flavors and haute style. Chocolate tart with a dash of sea salt, anyone?
10. Video Guests Books
Building off of the amazing PhotoBooth idea, step it up and use your Ipad or Flip to capture your guests and have them say a couple of sweet words. You can even upload it straight to Facebook or YouTube for easy post-wedding sharing.
11. Surprise Honeymoons
Ladies, its time to let the men do the planning! Take a breather and relax, let your groom plan out the entire honeymoon as a surprise for you!
