Wedding Season Upon Us

It's the end of May, half way through the year, and we've officially kicked off "wedding season". It's the time of year where statistically, most of the wedding will take place worldwide. What fun! Yes, I know, "fun" means different things to different people, and in this industry this type of "fun" can only mean one thing - more work! But afterall, isn't that a good thing? It's what we have all been waiting for - it's what we're passionate about, right? RIGHT! Like I always say, you have to LOVE this business to be in it. The most successful people are the ones who truly love what they do.

The other fun thing about this time of year is watching all of the "trend" information become reality (or not!) What colors DID end up being hot this year? Was the look rustic and natural or ultra luxe? Well, so far, we have seen what most of us have predicted - rich colors, deep plums, navy, caramel, wine, paired with metallics such as platinum, copper and gold. As for the "look", just as brides have many different tastes, so have our weddings so far. The outdoor, rustic, tented events (or in barns, meadows, wineries) have arrived as we anticipated, along with smaller, intimate, posh events that dazzle with touches of bling.

What have you seen so far that you want to share? Let me know!
