In the world of weddings, Pinterest has found a home! So for all of you Baysiders we’ve comprised a list of the top wedding trends that are here to stay! With all the amazing summer wedding celebrations being pinned and repined, creating this list was easier said than done!
String-lights
String lights in the wedding and/or wedding reception are a romantic wedding decoration that we think will stay a popular trend for many years to come. This accent can be adapted to any season or color scheme, and it looks too beautiful in pictures!

Unique Cake Topper
A sweet accent that has evolved is the cake topper. While many weddings still use the traditional bride-and-groom statue, some couples present the cake with a more unconventional topper, such as this couple’s zombie topper or the couple’s names! This zombie apocalypse themed wedding has a cake to remember!

Pastels and Neutrals
Muted tones are also taking over the color-scheme of many weddings this year! So much, in fact, that some bridal gowns now have a hint of color, such as Claire’s gorgeous pink gown. This dusty rose color is a Bayside favorite!

Sparkle
A more dramatic yet fun accent to many weddings for now and always is glitter. Every wedding has sparkle, of course, but now brides are adding it to their silverware, wedding cakes, and in the bridal party attire! What bride wouldn’t want to wear these to her wedding?

Ombre Petal Aisles
Another wedding ceremony feature that never grows old is a long, petal walkway toward the altar. Many weddings are playing up this part of the wedding, incorporating pops of color, or, like the Barnhill’s wedding, arranging an ombre petal walkway. A petal walkway is always romantic, but the touch of color brings life and depth to the ceremony’s venue.

Country Charm
If you are planning your wedding, or have a Pinterest, you already know the popularity of rustic weddings! Mason jars, baby’s breath, and barnyard venues bring romantic appeal to country chic! This trend is only becoming more current because of the elegant yet easygoing warmth all the accents bring to the wedding.

Hashtag Weddings
Last but not least, a new addition to the wedding plans includes the whole world – the whole social media world, that is! Brides and grooms now ask their guests to post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media during the wedding as a way to make their wedding known. This is an amazing way for guests who could not make the wedding still feel involved! We do recommend keeping your phones and cameras away during the ceremony though!
