Modern Wedding Trends We Love

A huge theme of modern wedding trends is making each detail personal. Your bridesmaids shouldn’t be an exception - so instead of grouping them together in the same style dress and colour, allow their personalities to show in mismatched dresses. Whether you choose variations of a dress in the same colour, define a palette to stick to or leave it all up to each bridesmaid, the mismatched theme in on. Plus, you’ll get major props for allowing each of your bridesmaids to dress in a way that makes them feel truly comfortable.

.. or blush, or beige. Parting with traditional dress codes, more and more brides are option for alternative wedding dress colours to cut a casual shape. Keep it light and ethereal with champagne tones, tulle or silk and minimalist designs - this way you won’t stray too far from tradition, but you’ll nail an on-trend look that is sure to impress for decades to come. Elle note that the queen of tulle, Molly Goddard is worth checking out for inspiration, while Harper’s Bazaar encourage brides to find their gown in ‘buff’ - ‘the happy medium between blush and champagne’.

If this is your kind of colour palette, you might want to consider choosing rose gold wedding rings, for an extra flash of warming, neutral colour.
