The Color: Radiant Orchid

When picking a color scheme start with the most profound color. “Radiant Orchid” was named the 2014 color of the year by Pantone.

Many weddings this year will be designed around this hue. Tip: Once you have chosen this dramatic color, select lighter shades and tones to complement it, such as nudes, blushes and peach.

The Flower: Orchids

Orchids are my personal favorite when it comes to wedding flowers. The radiant color and silhouette of an orchid is pure elegance and, with its rich undertones, it easily transforms any bouquet and table arrangement.

Get Creative: Ombré Desserts

Utilizing your color palette in different forms will add depth and creative cohesion. Ombré was a big hit in 2013, from hair color and clothing to décor and more. Why not transform your dessert, such as these macarons and mini-cakes, into an ombré-pattern dream? It’s the perfect way to incorporate your color scheme and get creative.

Ambience: Candles & Lights

Lighting and candles are wonderful additions to create drama and a memorable atmosphere.

Outdoor weddings offer great lighting options; your guests will love the magical effect of outlining pathways with lights in the evening.

Adding chandeliers is another chic way to enhance and highlight the natural beauty of the venue and create a cozy ambience.

KISS: Keep It Simple, Sweetheart

DIY is a fantastic way to save money and add personal touches. You can still go for the ultra-luxe soirée without being ultra-expensive. This aisle décor is a perfect example of a pretty and tasteful DIY touch.

“Handmade” weddings have become extremely popular and provide the opportunity to personalize every detail. This personalized chalkboard, for example, adds a rustic and welcoming feel for guests.

Wedding Trends 2014

The past few years we've done weddings, we don't see a drastic change in terms of themes and colours. Most couples are still choosing to go for rustic and vintage themes while a few others choose to go more dramatic with a bit more sparkle or popping colours.

Wedding Trends 2011

Yes, the new year's coming and despite us being busy preparing for the year end parties, we have not forgotten that some of you are already planning your wedding in 2011!

So here are Mandi de Lude's predictions for the new year:

The Dress

Everyone’s favorite part of a wedding is seeing what the bride wore as she walked down the aisle. 2010 paved the way for more and more ruffles, as we saw elegantly structured, layered, avant-garde tiers.

In 2011, you can expect feminine romance to continue, but in softer, more subtle ways. Expect more floral appliqué, sequins, and beading on thinly streamed trumpet and mermaid gowns.

Expect fuller-length gowns to have demure chiffon layers, with the flower appliqué and sequins.

The Invitations

In 2011, expect more contemporary and personalized wedding invitations-Mod, Nature, Vegas!-nothing is off limits. Expect the couple’s personality to really shine through.

OUT: Boring white

STILL IN: Damask (try paisley for a new-but-old twist)

IN: Go green with soy ink, recycled paper, and online save-the-dates!

The Cake

Like invitations, expect cakes to be brightly colored, lots of fondant, and lots of flowers! Goodbye traditional white butter cream. Also look for more creative wedding toppers.

The Colors

Expect lots of reds and yellows. Gray is the hottest new “color” and a nice alternative to brown. Try gray and blush or gray and yellow.

OUT: Brown and pink ,Most Pastels

STILL IN: Black and white (And always will be.) Add a nice pop of unexpected color to a B &W wedding like teal or yellow (no more red with this color combo, please!). Light green with any color, also not going anywhere.

IN: red, yellow, teal.

The Decor

Wedding centerpieces will continue to be more contemporary than traditional bouquet centerpieces. Anticipate fish and floating flowers and candles and branches. Think outside the box to make your wedding centerpiece one-of-a-kind.

Also look for other pops of color in hanging lanterns, table covers, and clothing accents (sashes, flowers pins, shoes, etc.)

SUMMARY: This is not your mother’s wedding. Out with everything white; in with bright, unexpected pops of color, modern cakes, invitations, and centerpieces. Be creative and have fun!

These are just speculations from a 2011 Bride and Maid of Honor, who has done her fair share of wedding research and planning. Of course, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself and your tastes. If you like a nice, old fashioned sort of wedding, don’t create a brightly colored circus wedding theme because those colors are in! Go with white if you want –it's YOUR wedding day!
