Four wedding trends I am loving…

Last year I did a similar post, but I thought since we are almost through our Spring wedding season, I would share a few things I have been seeing pop up over and over that we L-O-V-E!

1. LONG FLOWY BRIDESMAID DRESESS
We have seen lots of long flowy bridesmaid dresses this year and I love the trend! They photograph beautifully and flatter most figures perfectly!

2. BRIDES WEARING THEIR HAIR DOWN
A lot of our brides have chosen to wear their hair down this year and I love it! Up-dos are beautiful, but gorgeous hair wins for me any day!

3. LONG RIBBONS ON BOUQUETS!
This trend is one i hope stays! I love the long luscious ribbons on brides bouquets! Some of our favorite ribbon vendors are frou-frou chic and Honey Silks.

4. EUCALYPTUS
Eucalyptus is showing up everywhere- on table decor, in bouquets and weaved into archways at alters. This greenery is stunning and reasonably priced as well!
