Style Guide: The Predicted Bridal and Wedding Trends For 2018

Much alike the fashion world, bridal trends are constantly changing so we’re always keeping our fingers on the pulse to see what’s around the corner. 2018 is predicted to be the year of striking black accents. You may well be brave enough to don a show-stopping black wedding dress, but if not, consider rocking a pair of black stilettos. A simple black bow tied around the waist of your dress will add a dash of drama, or you could incorporate black details into your accessories and jewellery. This trend is daring, different and we must admit, we love it.

We saw the introduction of acrylic and perspex in 2017 and it looks like they are here to stay for a little while longer. Made for the modern couple, this stylish trend lends itself perfectly to a minimalist wedding theme. If you love this trend, you could choose to celebrate your special day in a glass marquee or greenhouse wedding venue. Opt for see-through decorations, such as ghost chairs, acrylic wedding stationery and statement signage. You’ll have an envy-inducing wedding day full of style.

Installations overflowing with beautiful blooms and foliage will always capture our hearts, and they add a dash of drama to your wedding reception. The best news? You will have plenty of space on your wedding tables for lots of other decorations and details.
