Wedding Guide Chicago - Summer/Fall 2013 - (Page 23C)

TOP TRENDS 2014 MATCHY-MATCHY IS OUT-OUT Personalizing your wedding has always been the goal--of course--Brides are now mixing the old with the new; classic with outrageous! Think “Enchanted meets Steam Punk” or “Gatsby meets Madonna” for a truly amazing and unique day. FORMAL IS BACK! Last year’s rustic is still going strong but it is going to be outshined by glam-glam-glam. Prepare for receptions awash in black and white, gold accents, Downton-esque table settings, and elegance at every turn. If you don’t have Lord Grantham’s budget, bulk buy white or color-pop ostrich feathers for centerpieces to give the room an over-the-top feel. GUESTS COME TO SEE YOU…SO LET THEM! Many couples are exchanging their vows facing the guests, rather than with their backs to them. It is a moving way for family and friends to really share in the personal commitment being made rather than focusing on the officiant. ALL IS NOT GOLD THAT GLITTERS Sometimes it’s sinfully delicious! Gold will be showing up in fashion, décor, and of course, cakes. Consider gold floral designs for the topper, or baroque edges and accents. Make a bold statement with all-over gold fondant and a vibrant pop of violet or pink for your topper. Blue represents depth and stability, a perfect metaphor for your wedding. Photography courtesy (from left to right): Andre Blais/shutterstock.com, Jasmine Couture, r3mg creative group BLUE-RIBBON WEDDING Blue has always represented depth and stability--a perfect metaphor for your nuptials and one of the major color shifts this year. Pantone is seeing Monaco Blue, which will make your groom happy; blend with mid-tones of aqua, teal, peacock, or turquoise. If you really want to light up your theme, use an opposing color; barely-there yellow, for instance, for accents. 23 WEDDING GUIDE I WeddingGuideChicago.com C FASHION FORWARD? THINK RETRO.
