Will you be my Man of Honor?

Recently, in pop culture, I have noticed a new trend among brides when picking their bridal party.   More and more brides-to-be opt for a Man of Honor or a Brides-Man  instead of a Maid of Honor.   Some girls are just closer to that guy friend or a lot if times it could be a brother.   There are certain responsibilities for your Man of Honor just like your traditional Maid of Honor.  Check out Wedding Bee to get more tips.

Man Caves

During a BRAVO! Bridal Expo we saw how successful it was to have a room for the groom so it doesn’t surprise me that this trend is on the rise.  These man caves will consist of items like a cigar station, a poker game,  a Wing Bar or even a Brandy Bar.

Simple Wedding Cakes

For awhile there we were seeing over the top wedding cakes.  It seemed with all the new shows on T.V. the more over the top the better.  However, lately we are seeing wedding cakes being toned down quite a bit.

I am LOVING the new ruffled trend!

Very Recently I have seen some brides like Hilary Duff opt for Non-Icing cakes

Non-Traditional Wedding  Favors

Why waste your money on something that your guest will never really enjoy?  Instead couples are choosing to provide their guests with a dessert bar, a candy bar, cigars and/or souvenir photo booth picture strips in lieu of the traditional wedding favor.  Check out the girls at Flash Photo Booth Rental for a local vendor.

 Non-traditional Reception Seating

We are seeing more and more couples using different shapes and sizes of tables at the reception to create a more casual lounge feel.  Some are using a mix of farm tables and tables with linens.   Some couples are even using hay and blankets for a picnic feel.

What new trends are you seeing and liking?
