Wedding Trends for the Jamaican Bride

Traditionally, the word “wedding”, conjures up thoughts of a bride in a long white gown with her face covered by a veil and a groom in a black tux. The wedding ceremony is usually held in a church and may only consist of a few guests selected by the bride and groom such as family members. The ceremony is then followed by a reception, usually held elsewhere, where additional guests are invited such as friends. Reception activities include the cutting of the cake, eating, dancing, the presentation of gifts and toasts to the newlyweds and so forth. Trends have, however, developed over the years and have contributed to wedding traditions being broken. Brides and grooms in Jamaica are quite on point in keeping up with the latest trends including these highlighted here.

Show a little skin

Laced and sheer wedding dresses have always been a hot trend but brides have become more and more confident in showing off much more than a little skin. A bride should, however, still keep it elegant and classy by not showing off too much of what may be considered "for the groom’s eyes only". 

Go vintage

What better way to go than to go vintage? With the perfect theme, colors, flowers, décor, vintage-style cake and wedding dress and tux, you cannot go wrong with a vintage wedding. We just love the hanging light bulbs in this vintage set-up.

Colors Galore

Instead of sticking to common neutral colors, try brighter colors that complement each other without losing their elegance. Color-blocking is one of the coolest ways to achieve this.

Bridal Party

Who said the bridal party has to wear the same color or style? There is no harm in mixing it up. With the right mixture of the right colors and style, this can definitely work.

Have your cake and eat it too

Wedding cakes have certainly become fancier and more exquisite. Instead of the plain old white fondant decorated cake, why not try something new? There are options such as a metallic cake, sprinkle wedding cake or even a naked caked (sans fondant) to go with that special outdoor vintage wedding. These cakes look great and still taste great, so who said you couldn’t have your cake and eat it too?

Hope you enjoyed these!
