For the last several years, we've seen an increase in "themed" weddings. Some Brides will describe their wedding day as "Classic", "Rustic", "Hollywood Glam" or other popular themes. With the increased use in
Pinterest,
Instagram and other social media, Brides are now having a harder time choosing between all the different ideas that they see.
We've searched the web over, and found the 5 most popular wedding themes that we anticipate will be showing up in your news feed through 2015:
Rustic/Barn: Being from Central Illinois it's natural to see a lot of farm and barn style weddings. The beautiful surroundings our our area make for the perfect country themed weddings.
Mason jars, burlap, and wildflowers will still be the most popular decor this year, along with straw bale seating, campfires and the always favorite s'mores bar.
For your attire choose lace and softer fabrics to offset the wood and burlap decor. Short gowns, cowboy boots and tuxedos without coats are among the most popular trends.
Beach: If the cornfields of Illinois are not your style, maybe you'll appreciate a destination wedding with sun and sand. According to The Knot, destination weddings make up approximately 24% of weddings annually.
Not able to get away? You can bring your fun and sun anywhere. Consider hosting a nautical or beach themed wedding with seashells and sandcastles for your own destination wedding fun right here in Illinois.
Why not go barefoot? Whether you're on the beach in Hawaii or in your own backyard, a soft flowing gown and bare feet is a popular way to bring the beach right to your door.
Hollywood Glam: With the popularity of the Great Gatsby movie a few years ago, weddings starting looking more and more like old Hollywood movies. The 20's are still alive and well in 2015 with the glitz and glam of this popular wedding theme.
If elaborate is your thing, then gold and pearls, and bigger than life decor with feathers may be just what you need to pull off a Hollywood style wedding.
Slinky gowns and dapper men in top hats will also certainly set the tone for your "roaring" wedding. Don't forget to complete your look with glamorous headdress made of the finest gems and more feathers, of course!
Winter Wonderland: Brrrrrrr....Central Illinois Winters are nothing short of a disaster sometimes. But many Brides in 2015 will choose to embrace the beauty of the cold and snow.
You can use beautiful crystals and sparkle as the theme and create an icy winter wonderland fit for a Disney Princess. From delicate snowflake decor to warm cocoa bars and blankets for your guests, Winter wonderland wedding are
hot.
For your attire, wrap yourself and your wedding party in luxurious fur, shawls or Pashmina and step out into the fresh fallen snow with your furry snow boots on. Have a little fun, and make a snow angel if you want!
Woodland: The outdoors continues to be an ever present theme nationally. An outdoor or all natural wedding in a park, or remote wooded setting is a popular way to bring the idea of "green" into your wedding theme.
Try choosing natural or recycled decor as part of your wedding. The living things in the forest or park, such as plants, trees and ferns that are already found there will often make for stunning backdrops that are beautiful, natural and cost effective.
Keep your attire simple, and remember that you are surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors. Delicate flowers in your hair, and fresh picked wildflowers for your bridesmaids will round out the simplicity of this fairy tale woodland theme.
