Latest Wedding Trends for 2010!

If you're looking to find some of the latest trends in wedding planning as you organize your big day, here are a few great ideas to check out.


On this site, a catering website provides a link for brides to some great ideas that includes everything from a kid's table to the photography to bridesmaids dresses.

Here is a post on about.com by their wedding guide about what she sees as the latest wedding trends for 2010. Her ideas include backyard wedding, a resurgence of vintage veils, and bridesmaids dresses chosen by the bridesmaids (to allow for varying styles that suit and flatter each bridesmaid) in the color of the bride's choice.

This website has getmarried.com's top ten bridal trends for 2010.

All in all, I think there are a lot of great ideas here on these sites. Hope you find them helpful in your wedding planning!

Wedding Solutions

This site is an online store that has a really adorable collection of all kinds of wedding items. Some of what I found there appeared a bit pricey, especially the wedding sets, but then I never purchased a wedding set for my wedding. At the country club, champagne glasses and cake servers were provided. The wedding set collections on this website were gorgeous, and there were tons of fun and pretty wedding items. The layout looked great as well, and you can shop by themes to help get ideas for whatever you need to go with your particular wedding theme. It might even give you ideas for what theme you'd like to choose for your wedding. All in all, this website is totally worth a look!

Want to Create a Wedding Website?

Do you want to create a wedding website that has all the details of your engagement and the wedding events for your family and friends? There are a lot of websites out there like wedding museum, which is what I used. I just checked out a website called tying soon. It looks like it has pretty templates and a lot of good interactive features so that your guests can contact you.

Enjoy, and feel free to share the link to your wedding website if you create one!

Avoiding Prime Time Can Mean Big Savings for You!

One of the best ways to save money is to plan your wedding and reception during a month and day that is not prime time. If you choose a day other than Saturday, and choose a month other than the very popular June for example, you just might be able to save at least a thousand dollars or more on your reception bill.

When you look into reception sites as you're working toward setting the date, look at their pricing policy. The brochure provided by the venue should clearly state pricing, along with the variations in pricing per person based on month (and even day) of the reception.

Zazzle

For those newly engaged and are now starting to plan your wedding, congratulations! That was me a couple of years ago (I've been married for a year and a half now, yay!) Anyway, I just wanted to share a website called Zazzle that I found on a whim this morning. It has really cute wedding gifts for your bridesmaids and mother in law, from adorable totebags to mouse pads.
