1. Spring Wedding Theme Trends: While previous year’s spring wedding themes are not going right out of fashion, some of the latest and most edgy spring wedding themes for 2014 are going to be:
- Bling and Brightness: Bling has finally walked off the catwalk into wedding themes. Crystal, glimmer and shine are the hottest themes for this year’s spring weddings. If you are wondering how carrying off such a wedding would be possible then consider weddings where crystals and shiny objects have been incorporated into wedding bouquets, flower arrangements, centerpieces, table and chair covers, wedding favors and light arrangements. The key here is to do it classily without getting tacky and without going over the top with the bling. Wedding gowns in metallic shades of gold and silver or silk, brocade and chiffon gowns embellished with shiny beads, sequins and crystals, that are really really hot this season, perfectly complement this décor. Crystal charms for glasses or crystal embellished flower stems make for apt wedding favors in such a setting. Giving away wedding favors in golden and silver colors also goes well with the theme.
- Flowers: Flowers are always a perfect theme for spring weddings and 2014 is no exception. Flower themed weddings are in this season, where not only does the bride sport flower patterned or embroidered wedding gowns, but where invitation cards, placeholders and crockery all have flowers printed on them. Flower themed save the date cards, candy jars and candle stands are perfect wedding favors for such weddings. And of course, flowers are used everywhere on the venue, ranging from being table centerpieces to wall decorations and everything else in between.
- Stripes: Another edgy theme for spring weddings in 2014 is stripes. Stripes in spring colors are everywhere in stripe themed weddings, ranging from invitations and save the date wedding favors to cakes and floral arrangements. The key to pulling off a striped wedding is not to overdo it. Striped areas should be complemented with solid colors or stripe combinations in different colors and sizes should be used to avoid a stripe overload.
- Other Significant Trends: Some other themes and ideas that are going to be hot in spring 2014 are red and black themes, ranging from all red and all black to combination weddings. Wedding designers are also experimenting with asymmetrical styles and using table arrangements with different size and shape tables instead of using traditional table arrangements. The cupcake trend has now extended towards all kinds of wedding food like mini sandwiches, ice creams and fries and mini food serving at weddings is going to be quite popular this spring. However, make sure that you use mini foods only as snacks if you do not want to send your guests home hungry. Another food trend that is in vogue for spring 2014 weddings is the serving of signature cocktails named after the bride or groom, the place they met or the wedding theme.
2. 2014 Spring Wedding Color Trends : While the traditional black and white weddings that were in last season still manage to hold their own even in spring 2014, the main focus this spring are going to be colors- fresh, bright and bold colors. Blossoming flowers and sprouting shoots are the inspirations for 2014 spring wedding colors as a number of lively, bold and bright colors become favorites for weddings this season. However, these bright shades are tempered with slightly toned down neutral and deep shades. If the current trends are anything to go by, 2014 spring weddings are going to see a lot of bright blues, fuchsias, vibrant greens and tangy lemon.
Neutralizing these shades are subtle tones of beige, rose, lavender, aquamarine, gray and citron. The overall look this season is going to be fresh, bright and summery without too many bright shades overpowering the atmosphere. But in spite of this, all red weddings are going to be hot this spring. So are fuchsia ones but the key to having these brightly colored themes is tempering them with other shades like greens, beige and black. Flowers in all hues, shapes and sizes are going to play an extremely important part in spring weddings this season. And considering that shades of green are going to be in, foliage is also going to get more than its due in the limelight.
3. Spring Wedding Flower Trends: As mentioned earlier, flowers are going to be blooming in full glory this spring both outside and inside of weddings. With a number of floral shades like purple, fuchsia, lavender, blue and rose being in this season, don’t be surprised if you see these flowers ruling the wedding décor roost in 2014. Orchids, carnations, lavender and roses are going to be teamed with spring flowers and daisies in bright colors to decorate spring weddings this year. With all shades of green being very popular on the palette this season, don’t be surprised if you find ferns and foliage getting great glory this season.
