Top Wedding Trends for 2014

As we head into 2014, I thought I would take the time to look at the past year's trends and where things are going this year.  Couples are always looking for ways to be a part of the current trend while including their own personal flair and that is why we have compiled this list. Some are continued trends from last year that are carrying over, while others are new, fun, and fresh.

1. Purple is still in!: The Pantone Color of 2014 will continue with lots of deep purples and plums.  Whether it's bridesmaid dresses, table linens or flowers...purple is in.  Here is a centerpiece we did for the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show. http://www.cecedesignsllc.com/portfolio/pwg-bridal-show/
   
2. Rustic: While many of us have had enough of this trend with the mason jars and burlap, rustic has proven to be a top runner in trends we will continue to see in 2014.  Couples are mixing barn weddings with touches of lace and romantic florals.  For more on this trend, see our gallery at http://www.cecedesignsllc.com/portfolio/shellb-acres-open-house-event/
   
3. Vintage: A return to romance ushers in a new love for the formality of days gone by.  Many brides will be taking inspiration from the 1920's with dramatic veils, cap sleeve gowns, fur wraps, hair embellishments, crystal candlesticks, and gold-rimmed china.  One major bridal inspiration for the return to tradition comes from Hollywood with "The Great Gatsby."  We are proud to share some pictures of our "Gatsby" inspired design from the Second Annual P.E.W.S Decorating Competition.  We were honored to be selected first in our category and Overall Bride's Choice. http://www.cecedesignsllc.com/portfolio/second-annual-pew-decorating-competition-pews/ 
   
4. The flower garland is also back in a big way in 2014: Garlands can be used to make a beautiful look over doorways, bars, or fireplaces.  Fern garlands can also be used to make a statement when used down the center of a long table.  Here is one example of this popular trend and please click on the link for additional inspiring ideas. http://www.cecedesignsllc.com/portfolio/ivy-wedding/
   
    
5. And the most exciting trend for 2014 is PINK!!  My favorite color since I was a little girl and now I get to help make dreams come true with a current trend.  Carry your sweet love over to your color scheme with blushes, peaches, and muted pinks.
