As we are ringing in 2010, I want to share with you what I think are the upcoming trends are for year 2010. Sure the economy isn’t going to go back up instantly, and we all know everyone’s in a tight budget. So I foresee a lot of unique and creativities of the weddings from the bride and groom.

Because there are just way too many topics to talk and share about, so instead of throwing all the topics into one post, I’m going to separate it. And feel free to leave comments because I also want to hear your thoughts!!

Bridesmaid Dresses

The Traditional: same style and color for all bridesmaid, this will never go out of style.

But I think a new trend is starting, if you happen to be the type of bride who just wants fun and don’t want the whole matchy matchy type of tradition, I have noticed some brides will choose a color and then tell her bridesmaids to go get a dress in that color or similar shade. this way, the bridesmaids are happy that they can wear what they want to wear and be comfortable in it, and the bride is happy because it takes another trouble off of her wedding list. Do keep in mind that if you decide to go with this style, as a bride, you better make sure your bridesmaids are getting the appropriate dress; after all you don’t want one bridesmaid to be wearing a dress that’s mid-thigh length and then another an evening long gown – try to stay within the theme and same hem line.

Here’s a picture from Todd Pellowe’s blog – aren’t these dresses beautiful, elegant, and it all reflects each bridesmaids’ personality! And as you can see they colors are within the same color palette.

Last example, I found this picture from Snippet & Ink. These bridesmaids got their dresses from BCBG.
