My Wedding Trend Favorites of 2009

As you know, 2009 is about to come to a close but I think there are a few trends from 2009 that just may travel into the new year. You know the saying, "Everything old is new again." I also like the old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Some of my favorite trends from 2009 that I hope to see in 2010 -

* Bird Cage Veils - Talk about chic and trendy. I just can't say enough about this beautiful headpiece, and BirdcageVeils.com has some of the best I have seen. Melody Ginn has done a great job with these beautiful veils. You can find her at BridalVeils.com

* Backyard Weddings - Interested in this trend, check out our previous posts, here.

* Landscape Decor - A woodsy topiary used as centerpiece, tree bark or greenery used as centerpieces or place setting decor, vases filled with simple blooms and greenery.

* Groom's Cake - Remember the gray armadillo from Steel Magnolias? This southern tradition has evolved into a way for the bride to do something special for her groom.

* The Dress - Ultimately, you are who people came to see, not the dress. Pick the dress you feel best in, the one that makes you shine even more.

* Favors with Meaning - There is nothing worse than spending money on favors and finding that most of your guests won't enjoy them, let alone remember your wedding when they look at it.

* Dances that Wow- the popularity of all the dancing shows and dance studios have prompted brides and grooms to create their perfect first dance as a married couple.

*Hire a Day of Coordinator - Hire a professional wedding coordinator for the final weeks before the wedding. They are the experts at making sure those last-minute details get done, and you can't beat the great pair of extra hands that come with a wealth of knowledge and "quick-fixes" to boot.
