New trends are something to get excited about and add a pop of wow to your wedding. Make your “I do” one to remember with floral displays that capture the imagination, vibrant colours to add a bold splash, and creative place-cards that get everyone talking… At Burnham Beeches Hotel, we love a wedding, and no-one more so than Sarah, our fantastic wedding co-ordinator. After nearly a year and a half of making couples’ dreams a reality at Burnham Beeches, she’s in the know when it comes to the art of the happily-ever-after. With peak wedding season about to kick off, she’s been taking a look at what’s hot for this year and is sharing her best trend tips for the most stylish wedding of 2018 (after Harry and Meghan’s, of course). Sarah says… 1. Go Ultra-Violet OK, maybe not ultra-violet everything, but this amazing colour can be incorporated into your wedding theme if you want to have Pantone’s Colour of the Year make an appearance at your big day. Last year it was all about shades of green, which made for some beautifully fresh looks, but in 2018 we’re loving pops of purple. Think shining agate place cards that add a natural vibe to your tables, bouquets of iris and orchids, and purple embellishments on your wedding cake. 2. Food for Thought The 2018 wedding is centred around being bold and doing what you love, and that includes the food you serve at your wedding breakfast. This year is all about going a little bit out-there. Experiment with exotic cuisine, surprise your guests with tacos, sushi or a banquet of curry. In the evening, go for gourmet crowd pleasers, get quirky with a food van or set up a create-your-own gin bar. If you prefer to keep the main courses traditional, go wild with your cake and introduce metallic effects and fantastic flavours such as chocolate mocha or cookies & cream (so long, vanilla). More of a savoury kinda couple? Why not opt for a cake made of layered cheese, adorned with cascading grapes and ripe figs – following the rules is so last year. 3. Bright & Bold
Bouquets are expected to be bold, dazzling and beautiful this year. Single stem bouquets are striking and elegant – think a statement tropical stem for a summer wedding, or a large-headed bloom such as a peony. Go dark, moody and dramatic with vintage purples and burgundy. When it comes to decoration, play with height and create space on your tables with hanging displays and clouds of baby’s breath. The popular greenery theme from 2017 continues, with couples opting for rustic-looking potted plants lining the aisle and bohemian wedding wreaths made from wild flowers and sweet-smelling woods to symbolise eternity.
