Bucks County Wedding Receptions: Fit 2008 Trends to Your Style

Let’s face it. If you’re female, you probably have some sort of interest in fashion. Do you follow trends religiously? Yeah, me neither. But to be truly in touch with your own inner fashionsta, you can find a balance between style and trend. Style is about personal expression and being creative, rather than trying to fit a mold. Trends, while they can make you feel like part of a school of fish, following the same path as everyone else, can be viewed as inspiration, rather than instructions, on style. Here are some ways to adapt some of the 2008 wedding trends to your own style and wedding vision.

Yellow was all over the Spring 2008 runways. If you’re feeling bold, go for bridesmaid dresses in bright yellow. If you’re looking for subtlety, go for yellow trim such as yellow ribbons around the waist, or yellow daisies in the hair. Pairing yellow and chocolate brown is great for a romantic evening wedding.

Silver and jewel tones for a wedding are trendy, as well as romantic. Jewel tones are in style, such as royal purple, green, and shocking pink, for sashes, ribbons, flowers, and even makeup. Use large rhinestone accents on tables, or small jewels in hair to give a royal energy to the reception.

If you like the idea of jewels, but want more of an authentic, “green” feel to your wedding, or if you’re unique or into new age, go for natural stones or crystals on tables, such as rose quartz, amethyst and amazonite, which you can find at new age stores.
