New for 2011!

What is in store for weddings in 2011?
Every year, every one of us is looking around to see what the next Big thing is going to be; whether it is in fashion, cars, home décor, or wedding trends. We have been watching wedding trends over the last few years, it is always interesting to see what the new hot ticket item is.
We have been asked what does 2011 look like for Treasure Valley Brides.. Honestly, we don’t know- there isn’t a crystal ball here! We can tell you what we think…
• DIY – we are going to see a lot more Do it Yourself Brides. I think DIY is fantastic, as a bride you will save yourself a lot of money. Plus, it gets your more involved in creating your special day!
• Small, intimate affairs- this year we are going to see smaller guest lists. The days of 300+ guests are gone. I think ceremonies are going to get a lot smaller, 20-30 guests’ tops.
• The “go green” theme is going to subside, however I do see a lot more brides going to the farmers market for their flowers! The Treasure Valley is unique; if we can help support local markets and businesses we are going to do it.
• Bright & Bold- This year wedding colors are going to get even brighter! More colors, brides aren’t scared of color!
• Less is more- I believe that brides aren’t going to go over the top with every detail. I think they are going to be way more focused on the little things, details that themselves and their guests are going to remember.
• Random- Brides are going to get away from the symmetrical theme. Not every table and every detail has to be the same. Brides are going to start shaking things up, have a few 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft round tables. Centerpieces used to all be exactly the same – not anymore!
• Honeymoons- Here in the Treasure Valley it is pretty common for newlyweds to skip the honeymoon, we are going to see a lot more of weekend getaways. Whether that is to McCall, getting a cabin in Cascade or heading to Sun Valley; couples are going to be going away at least for the weekend.
Again, these are just our predictions.

Feel free to comment if you think we are going to be seeing something different this year!
