Latest Trends in Wedding Decorations and Accessoreis

In the 80s blue suits and fishtail dresses were all the rage, in 2016 weddings are going to be even more exciting and stylish than a sequined fishtail ever could be!  Traditional dresses, ceremonies and locations are all being replaced by new and exciting options or even paired with parts of the traditional. When planning your big day why not consider some of the latest trends in wedding décor and entertainment.

All of your wedding accessories play an important role in your wedding and have a special meaning for you, below we will give you help with your accessories

 

Guest books are boring, photobooks and thumb print trees are not

Photo booths have become one of the most popular ways to entertain at your wedding, whilst still serving a purpose. Guests can line up, take photos and then stick them into a book where they can write a personalised message for you. Rather than the traditional, stuffy guest book, these photo books can help you remember the fun you had and let your friends and family let loose with jokes, smiles and whacky wigs.

Why not turn your guest book into an artwork? Have an outline of a tree on a canvas and ask your guests to all place a thumb or finger print on it as the leaves. Not only will you receive a beautiful artwork at the end, but you will always have a reminder of the people who you shared that day with.

 

Party receptions

The traditional reception of a multi-course meal spread over hours and interrupted with speeches is a thing of the past. More and more couples are turning their reception into an all-out party! This trend has developed from simple backyard weddings to even larger outdoor ceremonies. Set up some outdoor games and challenges and let your guests mingle and party how they wish.

 

Chalkboard signs

A trend from 2015 that is sure to carry on is the chalkboard sign. Stunning chalk designs and beautiful fonts welcoming guests into your reception or ceremony area are a beautiful way to decorate. You can even extend these chalk board beauties to be a part of the table decorations. Smaller versions can replace your standard centrepieces and are a great backdrop for countless selfies.

 

Alphabet lights

Taking the first initial of both the bride and groom and lighting them up with beautiful lighting is a great way to decorate your reception space. Place them on the wedding party table as the centrepiece that faces the crowd or have small ones on each table as alternatives to candles. These lighting options are becoming more and more affordable so adding them to your party won’t break the bank.
