If you're engaged - or about to be engaged! - and are planning a wedding for the summer of 2011, be prepared for some adorable details and wild colours. As with many weddings, lots of the details are going to actually come down to the colours, and the 2011 wedding trends for colours are hot, hot, hot.
Right now, it looks like many of the colours for summertime weddings are going to be in jewel tones, building on the recent trends for deep, luscious shades. Wine colours like deep red and purple are in, as are deep orange, bright yellow, and even hot pink and lime green. These bright colours can impart a sense of fun to an otherwise formal occasion.
Of course, we've got to have other colours to tone down our brightness. Following on the trends of the last year or so, black is in right now. In fact, many bridesmaids are ending up with black dresses and different coloured bouquets, which can be very visually striking, especially if the bouquets are particularly bright colours. Other tone-down colours include chocolate brown, which has become ubiquitous in wedding ideas for now, and dove grey, which is a new colour coming out particularly in Vera Wang wedding dresses.
Wedding invitation trends for summer weddings are ranging from the traditional white and ivory invitations to those with interesting ink colours and the bright colours of the season. One of the interesting things that's happening with wedding invites right now is that many of them are becoming more eco-friendly. If you want to give your wedding a 'green' feel, start by ordering post-consumer recycled paper for your invitations and by using eco-friendly soy inks, both hot trends for the summer of 2011.
Wedding dresses with 2011 wedding trends are featuring lots of tulle overlays, which can be elegantly summery. Rather than the simple, clean lines of the past, today's dresses are getting all sorts of interesting cuts and details. For a summer wedding, select a light dress that has beautiful details like corsages of flowers at the waist or neckline. Gathered and overlaid bodices are still very popular, and they can be completely flattering for many brides who want to cover up figure flaws.
As in the past few years, simple weddings and destination weddings are becoming more and more popular. People are trying to add romance to their wedding days without worrying too much about the details. Weddings in 2011 are going to be focused less on traditional items and more on personalised details for the bride and groom and their guests. If you're planning a wedding for next summer, why not see how you can shake up tradition and have a more interesting wedding day by changing around traditional times, themes, and meals?
