Steal Inspiration from Pinterest for Your 2018 Wedding

Undoubtedly, Pinterest is one of the main sources of inspiration for brides-to-be everywhere. With so many ideas flowing and connecting to each other, though, it can be quite difficult to spot the ones that are really noteworthy.

So, what are some of the most popular Pinterest ideas for your 2018 wedding? We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

•        Mixing metals. Gold, silver, and copper have been around for quite a while in the wedding décor landscape – but most of the times, they just get combined with other (usually neutral) colors. This year, though, metallic colors are getting mixed among each other – and it looks so much better than you could ever imagine!
•        Mixing seasons. A spring wedding in December? A fall wedding in March? Yes, this is all really trendy right now – and it can be pulled off with plenty of imagination and creativity. You just need to bring in classic “seasonal” pieces of décor and re-adapt them to the season you’re actually having your wedding in (e.g. using pink pumpkins instead of their natural colors).
•      Mocktails. There are a thousand reasons to love a good mocktail – so why not incorporate it into your wedding? You could make this a replacement for cocktails, or a compliment (for guests who don’t drink alcohol, or are too young to do so, for example). Either way, we guarantee a lot of your guests will be delighted with the idea!

Traditional Wedding Cakes With a Twist

Many brides and grooms believe “traditional” is the equivalent of “boring”, but that needn’t be the case. As a matter of fact, traditional wedding elements are still highly appreciated for a reason: they are timeless, and they are constantly adapted to the new trends.

Take the classic white wedding cake, for example. Classy and timeless, this cake can be adjusted to fit any type of wedding, and any type of couple. Here are some ideas to inspire you as well:

•        Round and square. For a modern white cake that will look just as elegant in 2018 as it will 40 years from now, ask your confectioner to create a multiple-tier white cake covered in classic fondant. The twist? Ask for two square tiers (at the bottom) and three round tiers (towards the top). The combination will add so much charm to your wedding cake!
•        Playfully white. A small, two-tier wedding cake can be instantly turned into a playful, sweet, and modern piece if you ask your confectioner to add sugar balls on the brims of each of the tiers. They will look absolutely adorable, especially when paired with a cute cake topper!
•        Rivets of white. Ask your wedding cake designer to create icing rivets on your tall, tiered, white wedding cake. If you add a couple of small bouquets of blooms on the cake (at the bottom and on the brim of the bottom tier, for example), it will look ultra-beautiful and elegant. The rivets, the blooms, the height of the cake – everything about it will scream “refined elegance”!

Your Bridesmaids Don’t Have to Spend a Fortune on Their Dresses

You want your bridesmaids to look excellent on the Big Day – but more than anything, you want to make sure they feel really great. Of course, their attires should look good and they should be coordinated with the entire wedding style – but that doesn’t mean they have to spend a fortune on these dresses.

How much should they spend, more exactly? Here are some tips you might want to keep in mind:

• Our advice is to be considerate with your bridesmaids’ financial needs. They usually spend a lot on the wedding and on the pre-wedding events as well – and the last thing you want is to lose friends on account of money. The more considerate you are, the happier they will be.
• To make sure you don’t offend anyone and still offer everyone options that suit them, come up with three versions, from three different price ranges. Offer them something on the higher range of prices (such as a dress that costs more than $350), something that falls in the medium range (such as a dress that costs somewhere between $200 and $350) and something that’s inexpensive (such as a dress that costs between $100 and $200).
• If you want to make your dress choice feel even more considerate, focus on designs your bridesmaids won’t wear just at your wedding. Choose something they can wear at other events as well! This way, they will not spend a lot of money on something they only wear once.

A Few Drops of Rain Won’t Ruin Your Big Day

For many brides, rain is one of the absolute worst things that could happen on their Big Day. When you look at this situation through pink-colored glasses, though, you will find that things are not as bad as they seem.

What is there to know about coping with rain on your wedding day? Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• You cannot control it – so why stress over it? Summer, fall, winter or spring – rain could pop up as an uninvited guest at any point during the year. Take it as it is – this may actually be the only thing you cannot plan months in advance.
• Be ready. Planning an outdoor event? Have a plan B in store, just in case rain decides to pour down on your guests. A wedding tent is a really great solution for outdoor weddings on a damp day – so make sure to have one prepared.
• Make guests feel cozy. Rain has started? Make guests forget about it! Provide them with excellent foods, hot chocolate to warm up and a huge smile every time you see someone joining in on the dance floor – they will completely forget about the rain.
• Make yourself feel great. Put on a pair of colored, fun wellington boots and take out your chic umbrella – it’s time to shoot some fun rainy wedding pictures! The right photographer can turn these into works of art, so don’t be afraid to have some real fun with this shooting!

Allow These 2018 Wedding Food Trends into Your Big Day

Wedding food trends come and go – but the experience you offer at your wedding will remain in your guests’ memories forever.

So, which of the 2018 wedding food trends are worth considering for the most amazing day of your life? We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

•        Flower-power. If you thought flowers would only make an appearance on wedding cakes, you were wrong. In 2018, dried and fresh flowers make their way into actual wedding foods – and oh, how stunning they look! Plus, when chosen the right way, these little natural beauties can also add an amazing taste as well!
•        Black foods are welcome. You may not consider an all-black wedding menu – but incorporating naturally-dark foods is a really amazing idea if you want to add a touch of refinement, elegance, and uniqueness to your wedding food. Black beans, blackberries, blueberries, black rice – the list of options is pretty generous, so don’t be afraid to get creative with it!
•       Herbal cocktails make an entrance. Want to serve a truly special signature cocktail at your wedding? Consider incorporating herbs in your special cocktail – not only will they add a really fresh flavor, but they will look quite impressive as well!
•         Drip cakes are here to stay. If you don’t want to serve the traditional white tiered cake, you should definitely consider multiple, smaller drip cakes. They look absolutely fantastic and they can taste equally amazing – so you really have all the reasons to love them.

Your Out of Town Guests Will Be So Happy If You Do These Things!

Inviting out of town guests is a great thing to do if you want these people to be by your side on your Big Day. However, it comes with a certain kind of responsibility – especially if you know these people haven’t visited your wedding location before.

How to make your out of town guests feel really happy with your wedding day? We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

•      Arrange their transportation. A shuttle bus to take your guests to and from the airport, as well as to and from the wedding ceremony and reception – now, that’s something your guests will definitely appreciate! Moreover, you will also make sure they aren’t late for the wedding – so it’s a win-win situation, really.
•      Offer them accommodation options. You are not obliged to pay for your out of town guests’ accommodation. However, you should do everything in your power to make this trip feel as smooth as possible for them. Offer them a list of accommodation options, so that they can choose whatever suits their style and budget.
•      Welcome them with a pretty gift. A welcome bag or box can really put a smile on your guests’ faces! You don’t even have to go overboard with this: a basket filled with delicious local goodies (such as a special type of honey you can only find in that area) will definitely satisfy your out of town friends and relatives!

Why Plan a Daytime Wedding – and How?

Most weddings end late in the evening and even late at night. But what if we told you this “classic” wedding timeline can be adjusted into a daytime event as well?

Why plan a daytime wedding – and how to do it perfectly? We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

•        One of the main reasons to love a daytime wedding idea is that you will spend less than you would otherwise do with an evening event. Also, a daytime wedding gives you the rest of the day “off”, meaning you can spend it in true bliss with your loved one.
•        In terms of food, alcohol and entertainment, daytime weddings are only slightly different than evening weddings. For instance, you could serve a brunch buffet or even a seated luncheon, all paired with light wines. And yes, you should definitely include entertainment, music, and games as well!
•        Since you will most likely wrap your wedding before 4 pm, you should also make sure to wake up earlier (your ceremony will most likely start at 11 am). Also, you will most probably have to skip the cocktail hour as well – so talk to your photographer and schedule your photo session for another date or time (e.g. after the reception, the second day after the wedding, etc.).
•        Last, but not least, remember that you can make your daytime wedding feel really elegant and formal too. However, keep in mind that a formal daytime attire will never look as glamorous as a formal evening attire (but, as the bride, you are still more than allowed to wear a very stunning wedding dress!).
