If you’re a couple planning for a wedding for late 2016 or early 2017 this article is for you.  Schwanke-Kasten invites you to consider the information below that explores the hot wedding trends!

Hot Wedding Trends

The Dress!

One of the biggest decisions for brides, pink wedding gowns are on trend.  While white is still the timeless and elegant choice for traditional looks.  Brides with modern sensibilities are choosing dresses that are a shade of pale pink or blush pink.  Dresses with texture will also take center stage in 2017.  Wispy feathers, floral embellishments, or hand-sewn beading can add a chic, modern touch to your dress.

The Wedding Party!

Matching the attire of all of your bridesmaids or groomsmen is losing favor.  Instead choose an array of shades in the same color family to complement your chosen décor, or pick a mix of textures in similar tones.  If your wedding colors don’t work for the groomsmen, have them wear various shades of a neutral color.  Think different shades of brown, grey, or white/cream.

The Cake?

One of the latest trends for the cake are animated cakes where animation sequences are projected onto an all-white wedding cake.  Other couples are choosing to forego the traditional wedding cake and instead opting for tiered displays of other delectable desserts.

The Flowers?

The next big thing in wedding florals is no florals.  In place of florals couples are choosing simple arrangements of green leaves, branches or palms.  Greens can add more elegance and nature to your wedding and typically help to make your guests feel much more fresh and comfortable.

The Rings!

In addition, stacked rings for women remain very popular.  Can’t decide on a stone, metal, setting, or style? Stacked rings are the solution.  They allow you to get a little bit of everything you like and find creative ways to place them together.  Stacked rings also allow flexibility.  You can alter the look depending on an occasion, what you’re wearing, or what becomes trendy in the years to come.  Explore our line of engagement rings and weddings rings on our Schwanke-Kasten website for some ideas.  For men, cobalt wedding bands remain popular.  In fact, they have a lightweight feel which is welcomed by men not accustomed to wearing rings.  Furthermore, they’re elegant, durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean.  Explore our Schwanke-Kasten colbat wedding bands for men.
