Wedding Trends 2019 – Part 2

Wedding Trends 2019, Wedding Banquet Tables

Wedding Trends 2019

This is the second part of a two part series. In the first part of Wedding Trends 2019 we discussed the fabulous Wedding Ideas that are trending this year:

  • Custom monogram Wedding stationery, handkerchiefs and cake toppers
  • Opulent cakes with personalised monograms, metallic touches and regal piping
  • How to scent your Wedding with a custom scent and scented favours

In this second part of the Wedding Trends series we are going to look at:

  • Floral Circular Arches and Installations
  • Simple Dresses, and
  • Banquet and Grazing Tables

Floral Circular Arches

This trend is huge and we expect it to continue into 2020. Floral circular arches, made from various materials, are making an appearance at many Weddings this year, from Summer to Winter.

Irish Wedding

Summer in Ireland is often unpredictable but in recent years we’ve had an improvement in weather and with the long bright summer evenings, what better a place to plan a summer Wedding, than at a beautiful location somewhere in Ireland.

Summer is a likely time to see beautiful circular arches featuring an abundance of flowers. The Caroline Wedding Stationery Collection was designed with a summer Wedding in mind. This Wedding stationery collection features a stunning floral circular arch on almost every element of the collection. You can carry the theme through your Wedding and match your stationery to your decor. Imagine, your Wedding invitations can match the backdrop of your Wedding photographs.

A Winter Wedding is more likely to feature a grass or wooden style arch. There are so many options and styles that you could spend all day dreaming about floral circular arches!

Floral Installations

Another Wedding Trend for 2019 is floral installations. You will see them hanging over tables, in the drinks reception area and outside. They can be included in your Wedding in so many ways. They make a real statement and are a great way to make an impression.

As mentioned in our previous post “Wedding Trends Part 1”, Wedding Wire have put together a wonderful list of Wedding Tips and I love how they included a section on Wedding Table Flowers. Of course they included the trend we mentioned of floral installations but some other additions that I love are:

  • Florals in teapots and teacups
  • Birdcages and lanterns overflowing with flowers and
  • Single blooms in tiny jars – I put together a range of these for the reception before my sister’s wedding and for my sister in laws wedding. They are so simple to do but make a beautiful addition to any table.

Simple Wedding Dresses – Wedding Trends

Simple dresses are on trend this year for Weddings. You will see many Irish brides wearing understated dresses. Simple Wedding dresses don’t have to mean boring though. A bride can wear a simple design that makes a beautiful impression. Check out some of these simple dress styles and start dreaming about your Wedding dress style today.

What better way to complement a simple Wedding dress than with simple Wedding Stationery. Our Petite Fleur Wedding Collection is the perfect addition to a classic style Wedding. This Wedding Invitation range is beautiful, simple and chic. Check out the full Petite Fleur stationery collection and match your Wedding dress style to your Wedding Stationery.

Wedding Grazing Tables

The Wedding menu is one of the most important aspects of your Wedding Day. The guests want to know, what they will eat and when. You know what it’s like at an Irish Wedding, sometimes you hang around waiting for dinner, having a few glasses of wine and wishing there was some food to eat beforehand. Depending on the timing of your day will depend on whether or not you need to provide food during the drinks reception.

A trending idea, instead of canapes, is a grazing table. In this way you can provide such a wide array of food that you hope to be able to cater for every guest at your Wedding, including children. To cater for guests with allergies you can provide a separate grazing table with appropriate dietary signs.

What about a dessert grazing table? Oh wow, who wouldn’t love to be able to graze through dessert, instead of receiving just one option?! My sister in law had a dessert grazing table at her Wedding and it was such a treat for all the guests.

Wedding Banquet Tables

When we talk about Wedding Trends for 2019, we have to mention Wedding banquet tables. They are so popular this year and we expect to see them at many Irish Weddings in 2020 too. The idea of having long tables at a Wedding is fantastic. People can speak to more than just those that are beside them. They also have the option to talk to the guests on the opposite side of the table too. We have attended quite a few formal and casual Weddings that had banquet tables and think it works fantastically.

Tell us what you have planned for your Wedding and contact us and let us know how we can help design your dream! Happy Wedding Planning.

Wedding Trends 2019, Part 1

Wedding Trends 2019

2019 will bring new Wedding Trends and extensions and embellishments on existing Wedding Trends from 2018.

Custom Monograms

Every couple wants to make their day unique and what better way to do so than to create your own custom monogram. You can do this by either incorporating both of your initials or by using your new family surname initial. Custom monograms will not only be spotted on top of the Wedding Cake but will be included on items like handkerchiefs, Wedding Stationery , Wedding Decor and candles.

Wedding Stationery

We have created a range of modern Wedding Stationery with an Industrial Style custom monogram. The range is called Ma Vie (My Life) and features a combination of the couples’ first initials with the year they are getting married.

  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection Save the Date Front
  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection Front of Invitation
  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection RSVP Front
  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection Envelope Seal
  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection Order of Service Front
  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection Menu Front and Back
  • Ma Vie Wedding Collection Thank You Card

Wedding Wire have put together a fabulous list of Wedding Tips. Of course, they have included a section on Invitation Stationery trends. Some of our favourites from their list are:

  • Geometric graphics
  • Wreaths and floral hoops and
  • OTT envelopes

We love these wedding stationery trends and will be delighted to work with you to incorporate them into your wedding invitation design! Contact us to discuss your Wedding Stationery.

Handkerchiefs

A beautiful keepsake for your day is an embroidered handkerchief. You could get matching ones for both you and your new husband to be. Another beautiful idea is an embroidered handkerchief for your Mum to remember your big day. My sister got one for my Mum and I know it will be treasured forever.

Cake Topper

Custom monogram cake toppers can be made to match your Wedding Stationery, there are a fantastic range available in materials from plastic to metal and wood. There are so many styles available on Etsy and Pinterest, as always though it’s nice to source locally.

Opulent Cakes

2019 will bring more and more opulent cakes including additions like:

  • personalised monograms
  • metallic touches, and
  • regal piping

Personalised Monograms

Custom monograms will be seen as cake toppers but also incorporated onto the cake itself. Sugar leaves, icing and foiling will all be very popular additions to wedding cakes this year as a way to add monograms.

Metallic Touches

Metallic touches will be seen throughout the wedding decor. We will see a move away from pretty pastels with a bigger focus on gold and silver. Rose gold was a large focus over the past few years but silver will shine in 2019.

Metallic touches will be reflected in the spaces that couples choose for their venue. Industrial spaces will be popular with a move indoors and away from the ever-popular ‘Rustic Outdoors’ which was so very popular in 2018.

In line with a move towards more industrial style spaces, our Ma Vie Wedding Stationery range ties in perfectly with this style, including a custom monogram with an edgy style.

Regal Piping

2018 was a wonderful year for a rustic style wedding but regal piping will be popular this year and feature on many opulent wedding cakes. Tall cakes with detailed icing will be on trend and spotted at many Wedding Venues throughout 2019.

Scent your Wedding

One accessory we expect to see an increase in during 2019 is candles. Scenting your wedding will be a big Wedding Trend in 2019.

A Scent to Remember

Scents evoke memories and what better way for you and your new husband to remember your special day than to have a candle scent which brings back all those special memories. You could look at creating your own wedding scent or use one that you already love. Candles can be included in your dressing area, at the Church and on the tables throughout the reception. The uniform scent will remind people of your wonderful Wedding Day.

Scented Favours

An extension of this idea is to gift your guests and bridal party a Wedding Favour of a candle with your wedding day scent. This special gift is something that will be used again and again and your Day will leave a lasting memory in their homes too.

Next up is Wedding Trends 2019, part 2. Expect part 2 to include trends such as:

  • Circular arches and floral installations
  • Simple dresses
  • Banquet and grazing tables, and
  • Bright, block colours

Until next time, Happy Wedding Planning…
