You’ve planned your wedding for 2009 and you’re ready to start hashing out the details. 2009 is a great year to get married, with lots of new, hot trends and fashion ideas that will make your wedding one of the most unique and one of a kind this coming year! Metallics Metallics are coming back into style this year, but in a much more subtle way. Don’t dress your bridesmaids in monochromatic, blazingly metallic dresses but do add splashes of cool silver or warm, rich gold here and there. Other metallics that are coming into style in 2009 are rosy and copper tones, especially when mixed with bold, bright colors in the same color family. Great places to add a metallic touch are reception tables, wedding favors and bouquets. Full Color Schemes Gone are the days of planning just one or two wedding colors. Forget just ivory and pink or black and white! In 2009, brides will be planning there weddings and their wedding receptions around an entire color scheme. For example, if you choose a rich, cream color and a dark chocolate for your wedding colors, be sure to add splashes of warmer copper tones as well as a softer, milk chocolate. Choosing several colors in the same color family will add depth and dimension to your ceremony and receptions, creating a completely new look in weddings! Theme Weddings Theme weddings are coming more and more into play, and they’ll have a big debut in 2009. These aren’t the themes of the past though - they’re much more dynamic and allow for a multitude of fashion and decorating ideas. You can choose a broad theme, such as love, possibly choosing rich burgundies, wines and even some elegant blush pinks for your wedding colors. Red roses will add the perfect touch, but don’t forget to add the “love” theme in everything you can, from heart napkin rings to engraved cufflinks. Other great themes include travel themes, such as a romantic trip to Paris or Italy. To keep your wedding theme current though, make sure your theme isn’t too “cutesy” - holiday themes are out - and that everything doesn’t match. Having a successful theme wedding doesn’t mean that the heart logo on the napkins is found everywhere, including your cake and your cake serving set and your wedding 28 | SOUTHERN MARYLAND WEDDINGS WINTER / SPRING 2009
