These are some of our ideas for 2006 through our research and findings in current magazines and other sources.
1. Monograms
As wreaths on the front door, over the altar, as favors, on cakes like jewelry, on programs and menus. The joining of the letters represents the joining of your two lives.
2. Still Bright Colors
This year Chartreuse and Caramel
3. Signature Cocktails and Juices
Not necessarily drinks with alcohol but choosing one cocktail to be offered upon arrival or butlered during the reception. This can be a great way to cut costs and not show it.
4. Intimate and Powerful Ceremonies
Couples are choosing to have their families sit around them in a circle or semi-circle to enclose the ceremony. This gives family and guests that they truly are a part of your vows not just as onlookers.
5. Theme Weddings
Luau, Garden Party, Wine Festival, or Carribean
6. Receptions with Station Style Buffets
Sushi Stations with hand-rolled sushi, Pasta sauteed with fresh vegetables
7. Jewels in bridal bouquets, decorating the cake and in gowns and dresses
8. "The Dewey Look" for makeup
No more shimmer or color, but a natural look like you were walking in a rainforest
9. Nature's Influence
Lots of butterflies, Fresh fruits (Christmas ornaments as favors), Lady Bugs, Butterfly or Dove Releases
10. Different Throws Anything but rice
From fresh herbs, large colorful confetti, lavendar from sachet's
