::Vintage, Tattoos, Cakes, Colors & Details::

Although the weather may not feel like it, it is Spring and weddings are happening every weekend!! As I notice all the beautiful weddings and read through several wedding groups that I am apart of I noticed a few wedding trends that are quite charming! The following wedding trends have been spotted to be some of the most popular for the Spring and Summer Weddings!!

Vintage Dresses Are In!

Over the past couple of months you have seen Brides showcasing gorgeous lace wedding dresses and birdcage veils! The old Hollywood look has captured the hearts of many couples and have been expressed beautifully through many great photographers. The Red lip also gives off a sultry, sexy look that is worn in quite a few different shades!

Expressing Personality Through Tattoos!

A lot of brides are no longer hiding their tattoos, instead they are happily showing them off! This trend of tattoos may not be approved by all, but it doesn't matter since weddings are fabulous because it is the time to express your personality! Tattoos are worn or covered also depending on the style of the wedding. Tattoos can be covered up with makeup and should be done at least one time before the wedding day to know how long it will take and what make-up will work best with your skin tone.

Mini Cakes are cute and unique!

Cake is a big feature of the wedding that many guests look forward too! Although you still have your beautiful 5 & 6 tier wedding cakes, I am seeing a lot more cute, personalized wedding cakes that may or may not be set-up with cupcakes. You will see 2 to 4 mini cakes depending on the guests and style of the wedding. These cakes come in so many different forms, each one is truly unique!!

Neutral Tones on the Groom's Side!

Spring is here and aside from the light colors of the season, in weddings neutral colors are seen a lot more during this time of the year. The Groomsmen are being seen in a lot of Khaki, Light Blue, and Grey tuxes and are using accent colors of yellow, green, light purple, peaches, and soft pinks!

Personalization!

Couples getting married are loving the trend of personalized items. From the aisle runner, to the favors, hangers, chair covers, and even refrigerators (yup!), you can easily tell who's wedding your at. Wedding Pro's are making it affordable for couples to get the look they want and truly make it their own! It's no longer just {Mr. & Mrs. Jones July 3, 2002}...now you can have your very own logo or tag line created along with pictures and more!!

Whatever trend you may be following or not following, be sure that your wedding expresses who you are as a couple! After all, the key is to only get married once and you want that day to be special and unique!! 

:::Convertible Wedding Dresses:::

The wedding industry is always changing and one of the newest trends that has captured the hearts of many are Convertible or 2-in-1 Wedding Dresses!! A Convertiable wedding dress is a dress that starts out long (typically worn for the ceremony) and becomes shorter (to be worn during the reception). 

The fashion of wearing two dresses has been around for some time now. The choice of buying one dress and wearing it two ways is a fashion that has gained attention and a love from many brides to be. Convertible Wedding Dresses come in many different styles as well: Ball gown, Sheath, A-line and more; to fit the many different styles of Brides. 

Below are a few Convertible dresses that I love!

The second David's Bridal:

HE said Yes!

There's a new trend beginning to pop up and it involves Popping the Question! I've heard about women asking their significant others to marry them and honestly I've thought about doing it myself (Just Thoughts, lol) and while many women seem to think it's a great idea, I don't know if I agree?

Marriage is about a union between a guy and a girl and proposing in the traditional days were left to the guy to take care of. The guys role in introducing the idea of marriage is to first ask the girls parents permission and then romantically ask his one true love to marry him. The element of surprise is what makes the proposal so memorable. Besides are woman really going to start buying their own wedding rings and after he says yes ask him to put it on her finger. He should have the enjoyment of finding the ring that he feels is most complimentary of his love, Right? Right!

It is very clear that when it comes to marriage and planning the wedding tradition is not the number one factor. However, I feel that the surprise of the proposal should be one tradition to be kept the same. WeTV has a new show called "Jilted?" and it's all about the woman giving him the ultimatum: Marry me...or lose me forever! It comes on Sundays at 10/9c 

Honestly, I still have mixed feelings towards the show none the less i am still going to watch it and so should you. I do understand that deep desire to become married to the one you love, yet as much as a dream about the way he will propose {I want HIM to propose, not me!} I mean a girl does dream and I have even thought about proposing to him using the Taco Bell Sauce Packets, since they have one that says, Will You Marry Me? lol.  But it is only a thought, besides I think he will be sad if I took that job away from him. Like I said a girl can dream..lol. And I will dream on until he pops the question!

I want to know what you think:  

Would you propose to your man if you felt he was taking to long? Ladies I want to know how you feel about this! Guys your welcome to comment too.  

Sincerely,
