With inspiration being seemingly endless for weddings around the globe, I got to wondering what trends are Kiwi brides really buying into. So off I went to see some friends of mine in the wedding industry and together we discovered some common trends emerging for this summer. Here are our observations of what is popular when it comes to overall style and design.
A couple of years ago we began to see the Vintage look rise in popularity with the use of fine china, cut glass, lace, pearls and pastel colours. Since then we have seen this style merge with Rustic elements typical of rural living.

The Rustic theme with pastel colours continues to be a popular choice, yet for this summer we are starting to see another transition take place as elements of Boho Chic are taking the stage. The Boho Chic style draws on a number of bohemian and hippie influences which translates into bolder colour choices, no tablecloths and a vibe that is more free and earthy.

Naturally the rustic/boho chic look isn’t going to work for everyone, and there will always be other themes to provide an alternative. One of the alternatives that we are seeing a lot of is the Black & White monochrome look. The black and white is often paired with diamantes and chandeliers creating an overall look of classic elegance. And for the flowers, white with vibrant greens seem to be the popular choice.

Whatever your preferred style is for you wedding décor, remember to keep it cohesive. Making sure that every element ties in with each other will truly make your wedding stand out for all the right reasons.
