Whether you have a wedding right around the corner or are planning your big day for next summer, these top trends can help make your wedding day special, just like you always imagined it!

Bright Colors

Summer is the ideal time for bright and cheery colors - why not incorporate these colors into your big day? Whether you want to feature bold colors for your bridal party wear or add brightly colored table cloths to your reception, there are a number of ways to showcase these fun, summer colors in your big day.

Fun Invitations

While traditional wedding invitations are nice, it can be fun to spice it up a bit. Consider sending post cards with a fun picture of you and your spouse-to-be. This is another place you can incorporate bold colors! Whether you want the background of your invitations to be a bright color or use a fun and colorful image, you can bring some summer inspiration into your invites.

Natural Items

Consider adding natural elements, found in the summer months, to your wedding decor. Whether it's natural wild flowers in a jar for a rustic or wooden vase with moss as your table centerpiece, it's easy and inexpensive to add items found in nature to your summer wedding decor.

Flavorful Treats

While a white wedding care is a traditional part of your big day, it can be fun to change it up a bit. Many couples are incorporating a variety of cupcake flavors instead of a wedding cake. Consider adding summer inspired flavors - key lime pie, orange, or strawberry options for your big day. Another popular treat couples have at their reception is wine slushies. Cool down with this tasty treat at your summer reception!

Live Musicians

For a simple and entertaining lineup for your big day, consider adding live music to your wedding. Whether you have a friend sing during your ceremony or hire a band to provide entertainment, live music can add a special touch to your big day, in addition to being a summer favorite!

Now that you know some of the trends that will be popular for summer weddings, you can start finalizing your plans. No matter if you still have a few finishing touches to work on or need to decide on an entire decor theme, the trends listed above can help inspire you for your big day. While these trends are fun, remember to incorporate themes into your wedding that fit you and your soon-to-be spouse. Your wedding day is one of the best days of your life and you want everything to be perfect.

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.
