Gold’s, purples and burgundy reds are popular choices for this year’s clothing styles and lace is being included in the design. Just because the style is elegant does not exclude the discrete inclusion of delicate lace.

Fashion is a fickle beast and this is especially true when considering Wedding design. Last year’s perfect wedding setting needs a revamp and last year’s wedding dress style is, well, last year’s. When you are planning your wedding, of course fill it with personal touches while keeping with the latest current trends will give your wedding that look of elegance.

For the wedding season of 2007 posh and elegant are in and glamour reigns supreme. The trend this year is elegance and definitely away from the average. Music, décor and, of course, the Brides and bridesmaids’ dresses are sleek rather than frilly. For bridesmaids this is good news since they may end up with a sleek traditional sheath in a burnished gold instead of a mint green puffball which would be doomed to their closet like a forgotten prom dress. Color choices have become dramatic for 2007. In 2007, brides are paying particular attention to the backs of their dresses. Bridal dresses have dramatic low backs or are decorated with embroidery and monograms. After all, the bride and groom will have their backs to the congregation for the largest part of the ceremony. Bridal designs in 2007 are taking this into account.

When planning the reception, simple and personal are the trends for 2007. With this being the new trend many couples are avoiding the long, extended tables or large round ones. In the year 2007 wedding receptions are taking on a look that is different from the regular. Rooms for receptions acquire a more intimate and posh look when they are set with numerous square tables that seat four persons. The table setting can be more imaginative and conversation usually flows better between groups of four than when the number of people seated is larger. The romantic addition of lace in the Brides’ and bridesmaids’ dresses can be reflected in the table settings. Lace runners that crisscross the table with the addition of an individualized place setting have become very popular. Roses are the flower choice for 2007. Not only is a rose traditional and the ever-popular sign of Love, roses can be elegant in arrangements that pair them with exotic grasses or branches.

A very welcome trend for wedding in 2007 is the use of environmentally friendly wedding accessories. The wedding and reception may not be entirely green but the invitations are made of recycled paper and organically grown flowers for the centrepieces. Caterer and restaurants are trying to use locally grown pesticide free food, when possible. A truly welcome tern has arisen regarding gifting. More and more couples are making donations to an environmental organization in the name of each individual guest in lieu of wedding favours. Couples, especially second marriages, are requesting that their friends make charitable donations in their names instead of a wedding gift. 2007 is a year in which common sense is guiding people to celebrate by giving back to the community and the world around them.
