Engagement season is upon us and if you are reading this then you are likely a bride, wedding professional or someone who adores weddings!  Here at Always Planned, we suggest that you create a wedding that is all your own.  Trends are great to keep up with and there are some lovely ideas – but it is your wedding and it should reflect your style and personality.

Color! The hottest color this year will be Honeysuckle – we adore taking when colors have real names instead of pink, blue, etc.

First, I have to say that I LOVE the description of this color.  Courageous, confident and vital.  Perfection.  Pair this color with shimmery nudes, bronze and grass greens.

Intimate Guest Count? In 2010 we did weddings with well over 500 guests, 30 attendants and were full productions.  In 2011 we are predicting that your guest count will be smaller.  We have already met with 2 brides this year who plan to invite less than 75 guests!  130-170 guests  is the average in Kentucky.

Personal! Each year we predict this and each year we see more and more of it.  You get one day to really show off your chic style, quirky personality and touch on the many reasons why you fell in love in the first place.  If you are not crafty- that’s totally ok!  Get the help of your friends, family, etc.
