Issue 01. South Wales Times. Page 11 The 2015 Wedding Organiser Wedding trends for 2015 Whether you’ve begun your wedding preparations, or just don’t really know where to start, if 2015 is the year you’re getting married, here’s a roundup of everything you need to know in terms of trends... so nothing is missing from your big day! Themes & Décor The biggest trend in décor and themes for 2015 weddings is undoubtedly the bohemian-chic or rustic style – informal and unconventional weddings are trending. The idea is to create a very personal and intimate atmosphere, almost homey, as if we had brought together our family and friends at home. In this theme, the focus is on long wooden tables instead of round ones and wooden chairs or benches, as well as white twinkly lights as a key element in decorating and creating this cosy environment. Colours Used together or separately, these are the main trending colours for 2015 weddings: blue (navy, baby); pink (pastel, coral); red (sangria, burgundy); brown (beige, sandalwood); neutral (cream, grey); green (aqua green, sage green); purple (lilac, lavender); luxurious (gold, silver, copper). Flowers According to the 2015 trends, the flowers used in weddings are also going to be of rustic and country inspiration – with floral arrangements and bridal bouquets composed of flowers that seem freshly picked right off the field. Using seasonal flowers remains a huge trend, as well as incorporating the season’s elements in the arrangements themselves. Catering & Cake Depending on the wedding theme (and the available budget!), there are two options for wedding catering in 2015: a tasting menu with several small dose and impeccably presented dishes, in the style of true Michelin star restaurants. On the other hand, there is also emphasis on home cooked and lovingly served meals, based on local and organic products. Regarding the wedding cake, the classic tiered cake is back with a trend of serving the wedding cake as dessert. Wedding dress 2015 brides will have many and gorgeous trends to choose from when it comes to wedding dresses: it is going to be the year of vintage dresses, with defined silhouettes, but also models with off-the-shoulder tops, either on one side or both. In terms of necklines, we highlight two trends: higher necklines with embroidered details, and deep V necklines. Claire Hamilton Beautiful music for your wedding, celebration or special occasion.
