Current trends & your wedding

So, you're in love with the Boho trend.  You like macrame, large floral crowns, barn wood tables and tapered candles.  You're not alone.  But what happens when you look back on your wedding photos in 30 years?  Will you cringe at what you thought was once beautiful?  Think of the wedding dresses that were so popular in the 80's.  And the tulle.  Oh, the tulle.  That was the trend in those days.

Weddings are a lot like fashion trends - you'll be completely in love with something one day, and then years down the road, wonder why you thought that ever looked good.  Keep that in mind when designing your wedding.  If you're into fashion or current trends, then embrace it!  But if fashion isn't your thing, and you rock a style of your own, show it.  Either way, your wedding is an event that should reflect YOUR style.  Personalize it however you see fit.

Not everyone wants, or can afford the most popular wedding styles.  But you can certainly pick and choose what elements reflect you as a couple.  Just because blogs publish photo after photo of magazine quality weddings, you shouldn't add details just because a blog told you it was cool.  Make sure you're adding elements because they make sense to your style and your budget.  Happy planning!
