If you plan to get married in 2008, the WeddingChannel.com has released its list of celebrity-inspired trends for 2008. According to the site, expect dresses to be ultra-feminine, with plenty of flowers and tiers. This move is inspired by last summer’s storybook wedding of actress Eva Longoria and NBA star Tony Parker. The WeddingChannel.com points to plenty of designs from the 2008 Spring runway shows that feature the feminine look.
Location, location, location! Brides continue to choose unique locations for their affairs, including historic train stations of all places!
Headliners at the reception continue to be big in 2008. In a trend spotted in 2007, brides are looking for name acts to spice up their receptions. Several talent firms now specialise in placing well-known artists at the wedding receptions of the well-to-do. Brides looking to make a celebrity splash with the menu instead are seeking top-drawer chefs to prepare a sumptuous meal for their guests.
Couples are also turning to charity registries instead of gift registries. Couples indicate which charities they’d like donations directed to and guests supply donations instead of gifts to the happy couple. If you plan to go the charity route, indicate your preferences on your wedding Web site, or ask your bridal party to spread the word.
