To be honest, it’s never too
early to start planning that 2019 wedding of yours. But, I get it, it can be
daunting when you aren’t sure what’ll be in or out a year from now. I mean, I
barely know what I’m wearing today!
So, that’s why I made a cheat
sheet for you, hoping to make life (and the wedding) a bit easier for you.
There are a few 2018 trends sticking around, but there are also some new and
exciting ones forecasted for the upcoming year.
Here are some of the top wedding
trends you should look out for in 2019!
Wedding Dresses: Nothing is off
limits
From ruffles, metallics,
feathers, over-sized bows, and pant suits, the options for making a
jaw-dropping entrance in 2019 are endless. Let your personality shine with
floral print, puffy sleeves, or a shade of blue, either way, you’ll be on
trend.
But if your personality is more
traditional with a modern touch, ala Meghan Markle, you’ll still be in. Simple
and clean is a timeless look!

Floral arrangements and decor
In 2018, greenery in its most
natural form has been used all over weddings. But, in 2019, look out for
tailored greenery and floral arrangements in a deeper, moodier color—think
shades of purple!
Flowers will be used for more
than just centerpieces and bouquets, they’ll be sculpted into floral arches,
hanging arrangements, and flower hoops. Really, the possibilities are endless!
Also, don’t be surprised when
you see balloons, confetti and/or personalized neon signs decorating the wedding venue.

The Foodie Experience
Couples are taking food to the
next level. Instead of a sit-down, three-course meals, they are offering small
plates, giving their guest a more personalized menu.
Food stations have become all
the rave, with a variety of options. The guests can decide which station they
prefer the most—or they can eat them all. Your imagination can run wild with
all the fun ways to play with (or display) the food too! Do whatever your
soon-to-be married heart desires!
And, although cake is always a
good idea (in my opinion), more and more couples are looking for alternatives
to cake, like, donuts, cake pops, or pies. Or again, have a whole desert table
with all of them. Having to decide which dessert you want is really the worst!

Sentiment over everything
Weddings can be a lot. And, when
trying to cater to your guest, the price tag increases. No one wants to be the
person who offended their third cousin, Mary! Well, in 2019, it’s all about the
couple and the sentiment behind each decision. Instead of having a large
bouquet for photo-ops and the like, couples are going smaller. They want an
arrangement with more meaning behind it. Just look at the Duchess’ bouquet!
Sentimentality extends to
stationary, table clothes, and even groomsmen attire as well. Who says they all
have match or follow a particular design? They can be whatever you want! So, be
creative and a personalize your wedding to symbolize you and your person—it’s
your wedding day after all.
This ties into a rise in small,
intimate and destination weddings or elopements, planning to keep the guest
list to a minimum. No offense, Mary!

Love, Meghan Markle
Her wedding dresses, the
bouquet, and even the messy up-do from Meghan and Harry’s Royal Wedding have
continued to send waves of inspiration into 2019. The overall elegance that
surrounds the day is what couples hope to emulate. And, I’m sure this will be
around for decades to come.

The Wedding Guest!
Put your checkbooks and cash
away, Venmo and digital registries are now becoming the wedding gift. There’s no need to
worry about getting a check, filling it out, and bringing it to the wedding
(while also remembering to put it on the gift table), because it’s already been
taken care of.
And if your up for it, join the
couple for a pre-wedding marathon or yoga class because who doesn’t want to
sweat before they say, ‘I do’? It’s so 2019!
