Are you planning a summer wedding this year? Now is the time to start finalizing your plans. Here are some trends for the year that you will want to keep in mind as you make your plans!

Bold bouquets

Bold Colors

While pastels may be the trend of choice for bridal gowns and bridesmaid gowns, bold colors are popping up in floral arrangements and decor. Teal, orange and deep pink are popular choices for the coming wedding season.

Adding Gems to Bouquets

Nothing has replaced the traditional floral bouquet, but some brides this year are adding a little glam with sparkling gems added to their bouquet selection. Adding a brooch or a few faux white diamonds to the bouquet adds a sense of elegance and a touch of sparkle to the overall look.

A Rustic Touch

Rustic weddings can be quite beautiful, appealing to a number of brides. Having the ceremony and reception at a local farm, using wood tables and dining on local food an add the rustic feel to the elegant affair. Summer is the ideal time for this type of wedding, too, because the warmer temperatures allow for receptions outdoors or in the local barn.

Boho Style

Cascading bouquet

Long, flowing gowns, natural hair with cascading curls and hand-tied bouquets are the signature designs of the boho glam style. This style seems effortless, yet is overwhelmingly elegant. Ah Sam Flowers can help with simple, yet cascading bouquets and flower wreaths for the hair of the bride, bridesmaids and flower girls.

Unique Reception Food

Reception food is changing from the tried and true catered meal to something a little different. Modern brides are choosing to bring in local faire from a favorite local eatery, and some are even hiring food trucks to add some fun to the festivities. Some brides are choosing a desert bar over a traditional wedding cake, or opting for pie instead of cake altogether. Along the same lines as the reception food, more and more brides are choosing edible favors for their guests, such as gourmet coffee beans and even locally baked pastries.
