Our labor of love blog
So after reviewing the past.. here are a few things that I believe will define this decade of wedding style. First off this is truly the digital age, with digital photography and Internet wedding networking. To that, one of the biggest changes I’ve seen is in wedding photography and videography. In the last decade photography for weddings, composition, lighting etc has amazing, truly an art!!! There are so many more styles.. than just photojournalism! I love the relaxed, fun look, along with more personal moments caught between family and friends.

Everything vintage is new again. From scooters to bicycles to typewriters! My Grandmother’s would laugh if they could see it now!!
There are a million things I would have never guessed would have become so popular! A decade a ago I could have never imaged all the outdoor events, unique venues, environmentally friendly weddings, cool themes, personalized touches, colors palettes, destination weddings etc. etc.
My original vision of retro yellow….
This is the decade of the strapless dress! It’s all about simple silhouettes and usually a train, but not a big one. Gone are the puffy sleeves and large headpieces.
This is also the decade of the amazing fondant cakes. Thanks to Martha Stewart for bring the shaped stacked cakes to the masses. Gone are the bubble fountains in and around the cake. Couture cake design is to die for!

Wedding jewelry before….
And after….
Square cut engagement ring with bead set diamonds is very hot right now. Bling is back and it’s all Platinum! I don’t even wear that much jewelry, but I love my wedding ring and it’s the one thing, the one part of the wedding I see and enjoy daily.
Traditional and trendy themes collide in current wedding culture…. modern, urban chic. Rustic retro country, New England Nautical, Southern Elegance, Beach Simplicity.
Think about the networking, peer review, vendor reviews, blogs, websites etc to gather inspiration and information from. It will be interesting to see what the future holds.. hope you have a wonderful weekend!
