With summer wedding season in full effect, many couples are looking to make a break with tradition and have a wedding theme that is both trendy and timeless. At Nanina’s In The Park, we’re always looking to help couples stay up to date with the latest wedding trends and themes that mesh perfectly with our classically modern facilities. For those in the process of planning a modern and stylish wedding, here are some themes and trends that are currently all the rage this year.
- Glitz and Glamour: From Downtown Abbey to The Great Gatsby, popular culture has been influencing many nuptials this year to have a sophisticated and elegant feel. Whether you decide to go for a vintage feel or a more contemporary look, having crystal on the table, full-length gowns and black tie dress will add a glitzy, yet refined feeling to your ceremony. Paired with neutral tones like grey and taupe, the new formal wedding is one trend that will not fade away any time soon.
- Lounging: Another trend that continues to be big in 2013 is to have a lounge area for guests to put their feet up at the reception. If you’re having your reception in our ballroom, consider creating a tented area outside with couches and a table where guests can take a breather in style.
- Whimsical Watercolors: If you prefer a more colorful palette instead of a neutral one, consider using watercolor tones in your wedding details. These work great year-round and can be added to everything from your bridesmaid dresses to the cake and floral arrangements. If you are considering a pastel palette for your wedding, watercolors can truly add a unique touch.
- Fun & Games: Finally, one trend that has been seriously catching on this year is to have games at the reception. After all, weddings are all about celebrating your union, and outdoor games like bocce ball to indoor ones like Jenga are quickly catching on as a way to add a bit more fun to any wedding reception. And if you plan on having younger guests in attendance, this is a perfect way to keep them entertained.
Whether you are looking for an on-trend wedding or something a bit more timeless, carefully incorporating current trends into your wedding are ideal for adding a modern touch to your festivities. After all, trends come and go, but a well-planned wedding with a combination of classic and current elements is a surefire way to make your wedding one for the ages. And as always, we at Nanina’s In The Park are here to make sure you find the perfect balance.
