There have been some gorgeous trends for weddings this year; from hay bales to marble, the rustic and the luxurious have all played a part in this years wedding looks. We’ve had a look back at what’s been hot and what’s to come for 2018.
Prosecco and cocktail stations
Creative and make your own drinks style stations have been popular this year, with pimp your prosecco bars and gin caravans all making an appearance.
Alternative wedding cakes
A wedding cake is no longer just a white tier fruit cake. 2017 has seen a whole new range of cake styles, including drip cakes, nearly naked cakes, colourful sweet inspired cakes and the use of cheese wheels for a savoury style centrepiece.
Custom wedding hashtags
With the prominence of social media in our lives, it is only fitting that people have started to include it within their big day. Using your own hashtag is a great way to collate photos and share them with any friends and family that can’t make it on the day.
Luxury
This year luxury has been a big trend with colour schemes including gold and marble and opulent styles and indulgent décor.
Natural flowers
Wild flower and natural greenery add a rustic look to any wedding and can really add depth to a venue.
