METALLICS
Gold has been making a
comeback for the past couple of years, but it is now back and full in effect
with its metallic counterparts: bronze, copper, metallic silver, gold foil.

MODERN
LUXE
In 2015 we will see a more
sophisticated interpretation of romance. Brides who covet sleek style are
gravitating more toward clean and neutral color palettes with bolder accents.

RE-IMAGINES
CLASSIC CUISINE & COCKTAILS
Wedding food is ranking higher in priorities for couples,
as they are looking for ways to show their
personality through food. Couples are moving towards more formal dinner
service, versus the
cocktail style standing reception.
Couples that are still embracing food stations and buffets are wanting an elevated experience, as food
presentation is just as important visually to brides as the flowers on the tables. Couples are looking
towards family style dinner service and food displays that are cohesive with the entire
wedding design.
Many couples are also opting for beer and wine only, but asking that venues or caterers
serve only local labels from their home states
or favorite vacation getaways. Think local craft beers
and wineries.

CEILING
TREATMENTS
Couples
want to show an impact from above. Gone are the days of white ceiling drape.
Couples are
infusing color draping/fabric, hanging lights, ribbons and
chandeliers in indoor event spaces.

COOL
CHAIRS
Brides
are beginning to get excited about interesting chairs! "If you think about
it, there is
nothing of larger quantity at a wedding. You can have hundreds of chairs at a wedding, and what an
incredible way to make a huge impact with an interesting dining chair," says Shealyn Angus, event
designer from Bliss Events in Toronto.

UNEXPECTED
COLOR PALETTES
This year we will see
unexpected color combos of lights mixed with brights and then rich, warm and
highly pigmented colors like fern, eggplant and the 2015 Pantone Color of Year
“Marsala”, which is
a rich burgundy. We will also
continue to see prints infused in the wedding style.
