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!
