Bold Beautiful Colour
Trade in the traditional whites and pastel tones on your wedding day for vivid oranges, blues, pinks and yellows. Pick a few shades that work well together or opt for a variety of shades of the same colour family – ie purples, magentas and berry tones. Incorporate everything into the wedding themes from your invitations to your linens and flowers and even your bridesmaids dresses and food and bevvies.
Naked Cakes

Mismatched Bridesmaids Dresses
Pick a colour and let your bridesmaids go shopping to their heart’s content! This is totally on trend and it will keep your bridesmaids happy too.
New Themes
Rather than having a garden setting or beach wedding the net trend is to take a personal approach. Getting married at a venue or using a theme that is reminiscent of your childhood and/or that is personal to you both, is in vogue and will make the day super meaningful and memorable.
If you holidayed in Hawaii or are having your honeymoon there, add in a Hawaiian theme. If you both grew up at the beach bring in some elements specific to the beaches you have been to.
