Weddings: The New Frontier

Over the last decade weddings have been on the shift. Couples have been finding ways to stray away from the traditional wedding and incorporate more originality in their weddings. New ideas, new location, new fashion trends, new technology. The following will show you weddings are moving into the new frontier.

Weddings Abroad:

The faux pas associated with eloping has changed. More and more couples have taken their weddings away from home. Some couples embark on an island adventure and incorporate there wedding and honeymoon all in one. Others refer back to their culture and take a journey through their history. Financially destination weddings are less expensive than a traditional wedding, it usually incorporates a smaller amount of guests and a smaller wedding party. The beauty of the destination wedding is that itself, beauty. Your backdrop can be anything from the ocean on a beach, a large majestic castle, to a vast view of rolling hills and mountains. Your decor is the place you choose, and that significantly cuts back on costs. Destination weddings are a great idea for couples that seek a little adventure, and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Dance Your Way Down The Isle:

Couples have been really shaking it up. First dances aren't the only way bride and groom show their moves. Couples have now been incorporating choreographed dances into there march up the isle. Wedding parties do music video inspired dancing to some of their favourite songs, many of the classics. A great way to add some spunk and charisma to your wedding. It also sets the tone to a fun and festive event.

Trashing The Dress:

A popular trend in wedding photography is getting down and dirty in just your wedding dress and suit. Couples have been taking the plunge off the cliff, literally, into the ocean. Trash the dress photography is a very creative way of thinking outside the box. Rolling around in the sand, grass, and mud gives fantastic and unique photos, allowing the couple to get comfortable, romantic, and at one with nature.

Colour Me Wild:

Colourful wedding dresses is the new trend. The stigma of wearing white has been lifting. Pastels, fluorescents, floral patterns are just some of the colours being used in wedding dresses. It allows a bride and groom to incorporate their favourite colour and style into their wedding. It also allows for new inspiration in themed weddings.

Live at Your Wedding:

A great technological advancement in weddings is incorporating live web stream so family and friends across the world can be apart of a couple’s special day. Large screens are set up and monitored at the reception so guests who could not make it can posts live text or video messages for the bride and groom. They can also watch all that is happening at the reception from the comfort of their homes. Great for the bride and groom who live away from their family.

These are some of the great things happening in the wedding industry. Weddings can be as uniquely creative as a couple desires. Being more creative allows guests to get to know the couple more and allows them to feel more involved in a wonderful moment in the couple’s life.
