With one-quarter of the year already gone, engaged couples only have nine more months to make their 2017 dream wedding come true.
Planning the perfect wedding is fun and challenging. With or without the help of a wedding planner, both the groom and bride-to-be need to decide on many things—from the venue, the number of guests, the food and decorations, and the overall theme of the wedding.
We’ve compiled our favorite wedding themes and floral trends for 2017 to help you out with your plans. Here are just some of them:
Tried and Tested: Traditional
Few things can beat the original, and this rings true for wedding themes as well. Many experts see 2017 as a return to the roots of the formal wedding motif, complete with elegant white gowns, buttercream cake with piped roses, and a classic piano or violin accompaniment.
White or blush rose remain popular color motifs, especially for bridal bouquets. If you plan to go for a traditional wedding, you may want to stick to these timeless colors because they signify not only love but also matrimonial bliss.
Go Simple, Go Neutral
While some people may think neutral colors are bland and boring, we believe that this palette adds a dreamy, classic feel to weddings without making everything look over the top. With the colors toned down, family and friends will not be overwhelmed with the ambiance but remain impressed instead.
Go for light gray, blue-gray, or gray-brown colors for that sophisticated yet relaxed look. Floral arrangements can include clear vases filled with wild flowers in hues of cream and green for that rustic effect.
Glammed-up Vintage
Vintage themes have been making the rounds for years now, and it is certainly staying this 2017. Think gold and bronze and other metallic colors mashed up with pearls and glass. Anything old but classic is welcome, including large picture frames and silver tableware.
To keep your wedding classic and glamorous, go for simple floral arrangements, like small round vases with ribbons and gold or light orange flowers. For the music, you may want to ditch the acoustic accompaniment and go for a jazz band instead.
