  • undefinedDECADENT DONUTS: Why get rid of the traditional wedding cake in favor of donuts? Because you might as well give the people what they love – fried pastries! Plus, donuts are a memorable replacement for cake, especially if you get creative with the presentation.
  • CROWNS: Bridal crowns are hot and can be created to achieve almost any look — from a romantic floral crown to a glamorous crown of jewels. Brides have embraced crowns for their flattering look and because they’re a departure from the expected.
  • MISMATCHED BRIDESMAIDS’ DRESSES: Brides are often relieved to hear that mismatched dresses for the bridal party are not only acceptable but “en vogue.” After all, it can be difficult and stressful to find one perfect dress that is the right fit for each person and her fashion preferences. RTR_2399.JPG
  • NIGHT VIEWS: Gorgeous wedding photos taken at night are a hot trend, thanks to the romantic, modern look of evening landscapes and starry skies. Photographers can get especially creative with lighting after the sun goes down.
  • ONLINE PLANNING: It can be the most time-efficient method for the couples to search  around for locations and services and finding great ideas.
