Wedding Trends for 2017

With the end of 2016 approaching, we are excited to see another year of weddings here at the Historic Pinecrest. We've seen some fund trends in this past year, but it looks like 2017 is not going to disappoint! From continuing to use fun colors, as well as incorporating new aspects like morphing wedding gowns - here are a few fun trends you can expect to see in 2017. We hope these help you as you plan your dream wedding in Colorado Springs!



Colorful Creations

Bright colors are still here to stay! While many weddings of the past featured white as the main color, many brides are opting for colors that describe them. We're also finding that less floral arrangements are appearing and more props and hanging decor.

Grand Entrances

Nothing says here comes the bride like a large, elaborate entrance. Many brides are making way for over-the-top entrances into their wedding by using unique entertainment to grab the attention of your guests.

Virtual Planning

In years past, brides would buy many magazines and catalogs to plan their wedding. They probably even kept notes with paper and pen (and probably lost a few of them, too.) The modern bride is looking for a virtual way to keep herself organized and find the perfect piece with the click of their finger.

Vertical Decor

Brides are breaking through glass ceilings when it comes to their decor. By taking advantage of vertical space in their wedding venue in Colorado Springs they are creating a dramatic flare. Tall tapers paired with luxurious candelabras, as well as string lights that hang low or even vintage bulbs and chandeliers are all fun details you will find in 2017.

Fun Ice-Breakers

A wedding isn't just an event to attend anymore, it's a party to get involved in! From interactive food stations to lawn games - brides are incorporating fun entertainment to keep the guests amused.

Neutral and Bright

Think of neutral grays and browns combined with bright colors and metallics. There are some beautiful color pallets coming for you in 2017.

Twice the Gown

You've probably seen the gowns on Pinterest that double as a wedding and reception gown - and they're still making an impact this year. In fact, many brides are opting for this route because they can have a beautiful sheath dress as well as a ball gown without having to buy two dresses.

Never Ending Feast

As the wedding becomes a party that goes into the night, we're seeing food that is served into the night as well. Think of late night snacks like nachos, pizza, or fast finger foods. There are also more courses being added onto the menu aside from just a salad and main dish.

Decadent Desserts

While the traditional wedding cake will always play a role in a wedding, many couples are thinking outside the box and getting creative. There are many alternatives like donuts, pies, cookies, and even blocks of cheese. The sky is the limit when you plan the sweets for your wedding!

Tech-Friendly

It's a techy age, and with that comes brides who want to involve technology in their weddings. Whether it's custom Snapchat filters, 3D printing for customized cake toppers, place cards, and more. There are also many brides who are incorporating live-streaming into their ceremonies, as many weddings are becoming destination weddings. Do you want to plan a destination wedding in Colorado Springs? We can help!

Charitable Donations

Finally, as many couples already have a home set up and don't need as many gifts - they are choosing a more generous way to give. Instead of accepting gifts, they are accepting donations for special causes.
