Wedding Trends 2019: What's In and What's Out

Blush Events Austin is always on the cutting edge of trends in the wedding industry. We are following trends for 2019 to help brides with items in every category when it comes to wedding planning.

What's In 

*Shades of purple and other deeper colors are becoming a popular option instead of pastels

*Tailored greenery, such as table runners instead of lots of florals; hanging florals are gaining in popularity and dahlias especially favored    

*Video mapping is becoming a fun twist as a lighting option

*Drones are adding interest to wedding photos for their unusual perspective

*Something different for the guys? Mix and match tuxes and suits

*Many couples are going for an unplugged ceremony, asking guests to please turn off their phones during the ceremony

*If you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day, tiaras are gaining in popularity (think Meghan Markle?)

*DIY food stations where guests can assemble their own creations instead of a traditional

 buffet

*Sunday weddings: why? they cost a lot less than a Saturday!

*Location themed favors that remind guests of a particular destination: beach, city, etc.

What's Out

*The rustic/vintage look-it was so popular for so long but has seen its day

*Favors-have you ever seen guests actually USE them??

*Large wedding parties; brides are opting for just having a few close friends/family members

*Less photo booths; virtual reality experiences becoming a popular alternative as well as video booths    

*Shabby chic

*First looks; guests really seem to like seeing the look on the bride/groom's face when they first see each other on the wedding day

*Short engagements; couples are opting for a traditional engagement of 9-12 mos.

*Sparklers; this once popular send-off is becoming over-used  

*Naked cakes: brides are requesting more elaborate wedding cakes

*Farmhouse tables: the more elegant look with linens is becoming more popular
