If you received an engagement ring over the holidays, it is never too early to start planning. While you may have some ideas about what a traditional wedding looks like, in 2016 the trend is towards expressing your own personality throughout the planning process. From dresses to backdrop, brides and grooms are getting creative and exploring innovative ways to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From city skylines to century old barns, couples continue to choose venues that are meaningful to them, rather than opting for more traditional or formal settings. Increasingly, weddings incorporate elements of a far off city or dream location, perhaps even to reflect where the couple met, or where they are headed for their honeymoon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rather than an open bar, many couples are offering waiters circulating their favorite drinks; which can be colorful, exotic or whimsical. A tropical wedding may include umbrella drinks, while a southern wedding may circulate mint juleps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brushed metallics join softer versions of our favorite colors to create romantic settings and classic d\u00e9cor. Brides are opting for duskier hues such as 2016 top trending Quartz Rose over hot pinks; and soft ambient bulbs and lanterns over harsh lights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ahsam.com\/events\/gallery.cfm?catID=10&amp;galID=53\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-127\" src=\"https:\/\/flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2015\/12\/CenterpieceDSC0099-14090372724-1024x687.jpg\" alt=\"wedding trends\" width=\"625\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahsamwedding.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2015\/12\/CenterpieceDSC0099-14090372724-1024x687.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ahsamwedding.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2015\/12\/CenterpieceDSC0099-14090372724-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ahsamwedding.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2015\/12\/CenterpieceDSC0099-14090372724-624x419.jpg 624w, https:\/\/ahsamwedding.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2015\/12\/CenterpieceDSC0099-14090372724.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mismatched bouquets, dresses, centerpieces and even seating make for a more natural and cozy event that reflects your personal style.
