As each new year arrives, more and more new and exciting ideas hit the wedding scene and there’s always some that seriously stand out and get picked up by brides and grooms the world over.
One craze that isn’t going anywhere is the trend to host a destination wedding! According to a report from The Knot, 24% of couples opted to fly to a faraway shore to say ‘I Do’ in 2013 and last year saw further increases. Hey, if an idyllic Italian destination wedding is good enough for the gorgeous George Clooney, then who are we to disagree?!
So once you’ve decided that a destination day is for you and your beau, the fun and creative part of your planning can begin!

Marsala bridesmaid dresses
First up is of course Pantone’s colour of the year ‘Marsala’. Rich, earthy and vino-inspired, the rusty red wine colour is a fast becoming a firm favourite with brides the world over.

It’s London Fashion Week so all eyes are fixed on the S/S15 catwalks, however back on the High Street A/W is the main event and there’s some style stories that are perfect for you and your wedding.
One of the biggest trends for the autumn season is one that will surprise you! Pretty candy colours have long been seen as spring-only shades, however nothing would brighten up a bleak, breezy fall morning like a dash of colour and soft pastels and romantic nude hues are a key trend this autumn/winter. Nude, blush, baby blue, soft grey shades, lilac, mint green are combined with neutral shades or teamed with black for a stylish statement.

So if you’re tying the knot this autumn or winter and you’re on the hunt for your bridesmaid dresses there’s an abundance of feminine frocks in girly shades to choose from. If your big day isn’t until next spring or summer then this is still the perfect time to pick up a pale bridesmaid dress as delicate colourways were seen on the catwalks at New York Fashion Week last week, so the pastel bridesmaid dress trend is set to continue – wouldn’t it be fantastic to get your colour theme set and be ahead with your planning!
