Trends for 2011

As I sit here and look at all the weddings I have helped to create it has left me thinking about which new and exciting wedding trends will be coming our way in 2011.

I think that wedding colours will be bright with a hint of tropical fun such as oranges, emeralds, reds, violets and midnight/navy blues, but we will see slate greys and mochas to offset this for those a little nervous of a colour explosion.

Vintage themes will be big once again but perhaps less floral and more Hollywood glamour, with the vibrancies taken from the peacock feather and the exuberance of the art deco lines.

Something different for wedding cakes I think will be pop cakes. They can be used as after diner treats instead of mints or even easy take home pick me ups.

Moving on to wedding dresses, I think the romantic in us all will continue with organza paired with tulle and lace and textures that include crystals, layers and flowers. Also coming through are tea lengths and clean chic lines.

One thing's for sure, weddings later this year will be influenced by the important wedding we are celebrating on the 29th April. Yes Kate and her prince will map out what we will see for 2011/2012.
