Altared Events on Wedding Trends

Every year, practically every season, bridal magazines and wedding websites print or post an article on THE trends. It usually involves the latest hottest color combination, the newest "experience" for your guests (candy bar, photo booth, karaoke, etc.) and maybe even the newest icon to use on your invitations and programs...birds seem to be hot for spring this year.

Altared Events totally understands the desire to be current and modern and feel like your wedding is the freshest, newest, best wedding out there. There are brides who are trendy in life and therefore trendy on their wedding day. There are another group of brides, one might dare say majority of brides out there to whom violet and terra-cotta just seem odd, the wedding guests are health nuts, and birds only remind of Hitchcock.

To that bride we say IT IS OKAY. You don't have to pull your wedding straight from page 250 of a magazine in order for it to be current, beautiful, and personal. In seven, twenty, fifty years you are going to look back and wonder why there are teal and pink petals scattered down your aisle or why you ever thought hearing Uncle Doug sing Karma Chameleon would be cool. Instead of thinking, "What a beautiful day we had. I wouldn't change a thing."

You will however want to have memories of the way the person you married looked at you, the moments that you shared together and the love that you felt on that day and every day after. This day should be all about love and not about trends. If you love the color pink don't be afraid to use it in your October wedding. If you love red roses and green hydrangea use it...even in July. If you love Owls or Finches or Canaries then feel free to have those little birds all over the room (on paper rather than in the flesh or feather) but do it because you love it, because you have always loved it, because it makes you happy just like the person you are marrying does, NOT because the Knot or Martha Stewart says you should.

This day should be about your love not color scheme and theme. The details of your wedding celebrate that Life is in the details and your wedding celebrates that you are in Love and always will be.
