As you plan your trip to the Southern Kentucky Bridal Expo, here are some of the 2019 wedding trends you can look forward to learning more about.
1. Rethinking Barn Weddings – Burlap, baby’s breath and Mason jars are out but you can create a more refined look in a rustic setting. Terrariums with vibrant colored flowers, greenery or herbs or modern vessels made of pewter or ceramics create a more contemporary look overall. You can literally take any space, whether it’s a barn or warehouse setting, and create the look you want.
2. Bridal Bouquets – Greenery is still on the rise, but brides want quality over quantity, often choosing to add only a few (two or three) statement flowers in bouquets such as peonies, dahlias or proteas with an abundance of lush greenery. This is a budget friendly choice as well.
3. Silver and Gold accents are making a comeback over metallics. Imagine a long beautiful harvest table lined with gold candlesticks from end to end with lush green garland flanking the tables. This is a great alternative in a rustic setting. Pictured here are harvest tables provided by A Family Affair Rentals and gold candlesticks by Dafnel Wedding Designs, both vendors in the SOKY Bridal Expo.
4. Late night snacks – Instead of providing favors at a wedding reception, couples are opting for late night snacks such as hot pretzels with delicious sauces, doughnuts displayed creatively, mini taco stations or a charcuterie board. The one pictured here is by Mission Catering, a vendor in the SOKY Bridal Expo.
5. Lounge Areas at Receptions – Couples today want to make their guests as comfortable as possible by providing a lounge area for their wedding guests. Pictured here is a vintage blue sofa provided by Blue Grass Gatherings, a vendor in the SOKY Bridal Expo.
