Getting Married in 2019?

From colours to flowers, dresses with pockets to unusual entertainment - here's our favourite 2019 Wedding Trends you NEED to know if you're tying the knot this year!

Colour Schemes - 

While pastels and soft pinks are always a popular choice; experts say that bold burgundy, yellows, reds and plum will be seen a lot more this year! Bridesmaid dresses, table centre pieces and flowers will be making more of a statement than ever before with their new bright and vibrant colour schemes. Patterns are also said to be favoured amongst grooms and brides-to-be this year, with tartan, stripes and check featuring in suits, ties, bow ties and handkerchiefs!

The 'Meghan' Effect - 

2018 saw two Royal Weddings for the UK - each one beginning a trend of their very own! Meghan Markle's simple, yet stunning wedding dress may mean that we see brides opting for more classic gowns with fewer embellishments and boat necklines. Both Royal Brides also chose long sleeves which may mean we see more brides wearing gowns of this design!

'Thanks, it has pockets!' - 

'Oh my gosh, I LOVE your dress!' 'Thanks, it has pockets!' Pretty sure we can all relate to this conversation! How do you make a gorgeous dress even more gorgeous? Give it pockets! Yep, that's right, fashion catwalks have been bursting with Wedding Gowns, Bridesmaid Dresses and even Wedding JUMPSUITS that come with handy pockets to keep all those Wedding Day essentials safe! 

Peony For Your Thoughts? - 

Peony's are 2019 flower - there's no doubt about it. Due to them being incredibly versatile, peonies can be added into bouquets that suit any style of wedding, from formal affairs to rustic parties. If you have a late spring, early summer wedding and have your heart set on them then you're in luck, as Peony season runs from April/May to late June. If your wedding is later in the year, then stunning alternatives to Peonies include British Garden Roses for summer or Dahlias for later in the year.

Unusual Entertainment - 

After something a little different to a Photo Booth? From tarot readers to caricaturists, we've found so many unique ways to keep your guests entertained throughout the day! Our favourite has to be a Live Event Artist, they will capture your Wedding Day as it unfolds on canvas right before their very eyes! At the end the day you will have an incredible personalised keepsake of your special day!

Ditch the Plastic - 

After Princess Eugenie's Plastic Free Wedding back in October 2018,  the Eco-Friendly Wedding is a trend that we LOVE and thankfully, the wedding industry is taking notice. The most popular one perhaps being the demise of the plastic straw as thousands of venues, bars and restaurants across the country swap plastic straws to paper or reusable steel ones! Of course, it helps that linen napkins and paper straws look so much prettier than their plastic cousins!

We hope you're bursting with fabulous ideas! Do you have some more than we haven't though of? Why not share some ideas below - and don't forget to share with fellow Brides and Grooms-to-be!
