More brides are engaged in the winter months from Christmas to Valentine’s Day than any other time of the year. This makes way for a wonderful spring season filled with weddings. To stay ahead of the wedding planning curve I have created a useful list of the 5 hottest trends for weddings in 2010:

Blogging Brides

Whether they are written to make wedding announcements or document the brides planning progress, now more than ever brides are starting their own blogs. When properly directed by the wedding invitation, they can also serve as a useful addition to the wedding guest’s knowledge about the bride, groom or details about the celebration.

Textured Invitations

Choosing flat, solid wedding invitations is a thing of the past. Couples to be are picking invitation sets that include everything from extra fabrics, letterpress and embossing. Texture adds character and emotion to your invitation set, something that guests will appreciate.

Wear-it-Again Bridesmaids Dresses

The myth that it is bad luck to wear the bridesmaid dress after the wedding is dying. Brides and the bridal party have started to pick dresses that can be worn for more than one occasion (after the wedding though, of course).

Personalize Everything

Brides are taking matters into their own hands. From DIY décor to handmade favors, this year weddings are going to be full of personalized additions. Ceremonies and celebrations are a perfect place for your creative inner self to express themselves. It is your day, create it how you want it.

Non-Linear Aisles

Part of a growing non-traditional trend is cutting out the customarily rigid lines that separate his family and hers. Couples are getting married in locations that can accommodate semi circles and other floor plans that break from the straight lines of the past. This does a great job of mixing up the wedding guests and at the very least, everyone gets a better view of the bride and groom.
