2018 Predicted Wedding Trends

1. Transparent Elements

Whether it’s a classy outdoor wedding or an enclosed affair, the 2018 trend of transparent elements is all the rage for this year. This trend is more crystal clear than a bell and includes glass enclosed wedding venues and acrylic designs. Although this trend works well with greenery, it also looks really nice with nude-colored florals. Brides have started with clear invitations, and then intertwined the clear theme into their ceremony and reception. A great final finish to this wedding trend would be our Acrylic Leather Spine Album.

2. Wreaths

This adorable accessory has moved from your front door to centerpieces at wedding tables, hair accessories for the brides and flowergirls, and gorgeous backdrops for when brides and grooms are saying “I do”. Whether it’s mixed with flowers, leaves, or cute accents, these wreaths are the welcome addition for 2018 creative couples.

6. Hanging Florals

The ceiling is barely the limit with the latest trend of hanging floral installations. Zookbinders has already seen designs showing off these gorgeous floral displays and they are stunning!

Although it’s probably not quite so practical on the budget – these arrangements are gorgeous and expensive – they give creative viewpoints to any glamourous wedding.  

7. Black is Back

Black is back in two bold ways this year: Black and gold stationary, and black accents on wedding dresses. The black and gold stationary gives elegance to invitations, wedding programs, and displays throughout the wedding reception. It symbolizes glamour, wellness, wealth, and wisdom and gives your affair a statement to remember. The black accents on the wedding dress give a bold look to any style and easily matches any bridesmaid dress of any

Last year we saw a lot of navy blue on grooms, and this year navy is out and burgundy is in. Black, gray, and navy are all making way for the 2018 hit color on men and the brides are loving it! Add the burgundy color to any slim fit suit and you have one styling groom for 2018. Another fun trend is matching styles – the burgundy jacket with a great navy trouser, or a burgundy suit with brown brogues. The tip for the men is to avoid patterns and just let the color pop!
