Awesome trends for 2014

Want That Wedding have brought two awesome trends for this year to my attention, these are sequins and bridal coverups.

I’m so taken by the trend of sequins at the moment, they’re a fabulous way to add some sparkle and glamour to your day. The example on ”4 amazing wedding prop trends for 2014” talks about table cloths, but there are so many more ways. Obviously sequin dresses look stunning. What better way to turn yourself into a A lister for the day? Other options are sequin accessories which ties perfectly into the next trend which is bridal coverups. There’s some lovely inspiration here with ”chick spring/summer cover ups”, lots of vintage inspired pretties, great for weddings in the cooler months, or for outdoor weddings going on into the evening.

The cracks between the photos.

Have a read of this lovely article in Oh Comely magazine, ”I Never Want to Forget the Moments Between the Photographs.” The article talks about the authors feelings on his sisters wedding. From my point of view I love this as it talks about the moments I’m trying to capture, the unique little things that happen to make that wedding different, and the feelings that all the friends and family feel on the day.

The most awesome bags you will ever see.

This last item isn’t strictly wedding related but has certainly caught my eye. Check out these stunning clutch bags! In complete contrast to saving money on the wedding, why not splash out on one of these as an awesome - and sensible alternative to carrying a bouquet.

Same-sex weddings

Also it was great news for same-sex couples, as they were able to sign up to be legally married in a few weeks. Hoping to hear about lots of fabulous same sex weddings soon!
