American Wedding Style in 2013

Colorado weddings, elegant, romantic, vintage themes
Elegant                     Romantic                             Vintage
So many times brides will call me and say that they want soft, romantic and vintage style, or they say I want modern lines.  These types of descriptions are so vague because they mean different things to different people.  How do we get around the vague description.  Bring your inspiration pictures to your appointment with the planner and other vendors such as florist, dress.

Soft pink, white and candlelight formal wedding
Elegant
Brides usually desire to have sophisticated I do's - so there is nothing new there.  Its not everyday you get to throw a glamorous gala for 100+ guests. For those who fantasize about having a formal fanfare... this years is going back to black and white with crystals and pops of diamond bling with lots of candle light.

The new formal allows for more personalization i.e. chic and not stuffy.

Romantic
No surprise here, what bride doesn't think of her day as romantic, after-all, shot gun weddings are a thing of the past. The day should be a reflection of the couple and their love for each other. Its usually intimate, The rose is the flower of love, however, depending upon the time of year can be expensive ... talk to your planner and florist about other options to save you money.


Vintage
Has made a huge comeback for 2013, mason jars, apothecary bottles are here to stay.  However, burlap and lace is huge too.  Additional good 'ol day items, bird cages, bird cage veils with feather facinators, 1940's hair styles, photo booths with flapper headbands, displaying black and white photos in antique frames of loved ones in the cocktail area.
