Another year, 2017 has its set of trends bound to kick off as early as January! In terms of fashion and beauty trends, we usually go with the flow as it happens. But, as for those who are planning to tie the knot this year, grand (and very advanced) preparations need to done as early as possible! With this being mentioned, we thank reputable bridal magazines and online wedding portals which have already tapped us on what the latest trends are going to be this year. It’s quite exciting for there are a lot of new trends bound to raise its flags this year! From traditional all-white wedding ensembles to something that embraces a pop of color – we all know it’s going to be much fun this year!
If you are going to be a 2017 bride, then here are the list of hottest bridal trends you can start putting on your “Dream Wedding” scrapbook!
Colorful Motif (Pastel or Bright Rainbow Hues)
The past few years have only been quite limited to either whites or a mono-colored motif. On the contrary, 2017 is all about embracing more colors by going for either stark shades or soft pastels. From the dress code to the wedding cake – being quite experimental with colors are very much welcome this year. In addition to that, even wedding gowns can have a bit of more color going on!
Cream-Colored Suits for Men
Alright, so we can’t really deny that black and white suits are iconic and they are definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. But when we speak about what’s trendy this year, cream-colored suits for the groom are very much anticipated. To match the colorful motif, a cream or tan-colored suit makes a perfect pair. It’s definitely not any less classy that the conventional ones. In fact, it’s deemed really elegant and fashionable this year.
Ethereal Bridal Dress Silhouettes (Lace, Capes and Breezy Chiffon Fabric)
A lot of fashion designers have already given us a glimpse of what they have in mind for the brides of 2017. Away from the simple plain silk gowns last year, 2017 is all about looking ethereal. In terms of fabric material, design and detail, looking quite magical is what these bridal gown designers have in common. Chiffon capes are also a huge thing for bridal dresses this year rather than long veils.
Faraway Wedding Destinations
Without a doubt, travelling has become such a common hobby the past few years. As we scroll down on our Instagram’s “Explore” page, we see tons of people hopping from one country to another. The wanderlust trend has made its way to weddings and more and more couples are going to consider getting married somewhere far from home. It can be an intimate wedding and honeymoon getaway in one! No to mention taking amazing wedding shots with breathtaking views! We bet Santorini is going to be quite busy this year.
Cinderella-inspired Bridal Glass Shoes
To match up with this year’s trend of going for ethereal, fairy tale-inspired bridal gowns, fashion forecast also tells us about how glass bridal shoes are going to make its waves this year. Dolce & Gabbana already gave everyone a good look on how Cinderella’s iconic glass shoes would look like as a designer brand, so now, it’s time to put it on real life princesses! It is going to be moire than just a transparent pair of shoes for it will feature crystals and other intricate lace details.
All About Nature
Lots of flowers, wooden accents, hanging gardens and basically everything that involves nature! Incorporating a forest-y nature theme is still in this year, only on a larger scale. The key to nature-inspired accents this year is to have them in dramatic weights and numbers to have them really stand out.
Metallic Wedding Cake
Don’t we all look forward to the wedding cake?! Apart from anticipating what the bride will look like on her big day, the wedding cake is also one of the main attractions during weddings. For 2017, you can ditch that plain white cake and let go of those cupcake towers because this time, it’s all about metallics! Yes, you read it right – a golden metallic cake! Sounds lavish? Well, it pretty is lavish for custom metallic cakes involve edible gold films!
Minimalist Wedding Souvenirs
No more glass figurines or souvenirs that has the couple’s name on it. This time, it’s all about keeping it simple and minimal when it comes to souvenirs. Succulents are going to be immensely popular in weddings this year and no, they won’t come merely as table decor. Succulent plants would also make a great and fancy giveaway to the guests. Have them in creative jars and pots and we’re pretty sure your guests will love it a 100%.
Pastel Flower Bouquet
Because colorful pastel wedding themes are in, it only goes fitting to say that bridal flower bouquets that come in pastel colors will also be 2017’s biggest hit. Enough of the white or red roses and add more color to your bouquet. It is also a great way to balance the bridal look out as most of the time, bridal gowns come in white.
Colorful Invitations
To join the color trend bandwagon this year, we also have to talk about invitations! It’s also a great way to give your guests an idea of what type of colors are you going for, and therefore incorporate them in their clothing.
Unique Wedding Rings
We often see traditional silver or gold wedding rings, but wedding experts say that this year gives more space to exploring more unique wedding ring choices. The possibilites are endless – it can be made of wood, gold coils, etc!
Vintage Wedding Themes
Wedding experts say that if you are not a big fan of colors (which is quite what explains this year’s bridal trends), you can still go for minimalist and classic hues. This is something that fits a classic vintage wedding! Give your big day a twist of the 20’s or 30’s and still look fad for this year!
