February Look We Love

Ah February, the month of love! And we're pretty dang in love with the wedding trends we've noticed thus far in 2014. Instead of sharing just one for February, we wanted to go over a few that have caught our eye over the past month. Prepare yourselves because this is going to be a feast for the eyes!

Colored Vintage Glassware
After spotting this in countless weddings and shoots this has become my newest personal obsession. As of late, I can be found scouring local antique stores expanding BDE's collection. There are so many fun colors, shapes and patterns to mix and match. If you want to incorporate this into your bridal shower or rehearsal dinner, BDE can help you out. And if you're looking for colored glassware for your wedding or a whole lot of inspiration, the mecca is Casa De Perrin, a rental company based out of California (but ships!). Isn't this ombre glassware on the bar amazing!

Backdrops
Backdrops, whether they be for the ceremony or reception, can make a huge impact. That's why architectural elements are always something that we like to incorporate into our designs, despite the amount of time it usually means my husband and I spend at Home Depot. It's always worth it to add a creative punch and really make the whole scene pop.

Bold Colors
2013 was the year of soft romantic blush and gold weddings. 2014 is starting with a bang! There are bright colors to be found in every real wedding and styled shoot now and we love it! Being unafraid of color opens so many design doors.

Ribbons
Has anyone else noticed this? If I could go back in time I would add ribbon to everything in my own wedding. Invitation, chairs, bouquets, tables, bars... the possibilities are endless and it makes for a sweet touch.

Mix & Match Seating
Did you watch Sean + Catherine's wedding? If so, you probably noticed this trend was on display in full force. Whether it's ceremony or reception seating, mixing and matching chairs that are different shapes, colors or materials will add instant visual interest and is a super fun and quirky detail.   

So be bold and don't be afraid to think out of the box! Are you planning to use any of these in your upcoming wedding? Check out our Pinterest board for more inspiration!
