2018 Wedding Trends for the 2018 Bride

2018 Wedding Trends for the 2018 Bride

by | Planning, Weddings

Getting married this year? If so, you’re most likely in the middle of planning for your destination wedding in Lake Como. There’s still time to infuse a few trends that are going to be big this year – trends that will certainly make your big day contemporary and in the now while still keeping true to your own taste and style!

Wedding Trend 1: Using Ultraviolet as your wedding theme color.

Your Lake Como wedding planner may already be doing away with all things green, which is what 2017 was all about. This year though, ultraviolet is the name of the game. This color of the year can be included in many details of your wedding motif. It can be a) as bold as the colors of your wedding party, or b) cleverly introduced by way of accents, such as napkins and linens or the color of the bouquets.

Wedding Trend 2: Dessert Table 2.0

Dessert tables have been around for quite some time, but you and your Italian wedding planner can do things differently, the 2018 way: by introducing other dessert items that are not already used and abused (we’re looking at you, M&Ms). One example is to have a cheesecake-themed dessert table, with around six variants to choose from and ranging from whole cheesecakes to cheesecake pops.

 

Wedding Trend 3: The Floral Paper Rainforest

If you’re so used to seeing flowers strewn on aisles and tables, the next biggest thing this time is to have them hanging from the ceiling. Take it up a notch by using exquisite paper flowers – either laser cut in a vine style or intricately crafted by hand. Ask your wedding planning services provider for artists that can pull this off and create the lush, paper floral rainforest at your reception that will certainly leave your guests in awe.

Wedding Trend 4: Copper-colored accents

Things take a turn for the soft as we say goodbye to everything rose gold and give a nice, warm welcome to this year’s favorite new metallic: copper. Discuss with your Lake Como wedding planner how you can introduce a few copper elements into your wedding to give it that 2018 vibe. One example is to use copper Moscow mule mugs to everyone for the toasting, instead of the usual wine (and fill ‘er up with some Moscow mules, of course).

Wedding Trend 5: Alternative Cuisine

Filet mignons as the main dish is over and done with: this year, it’s all about something new or something common yet with a twist. For your destination wedding in Lake Como, nothing will surprise your guests more than a cleverly crafted menu of old favorites that are dressed up in new digs. Think Japanese nori tacos, exquisite pizza toppings, guava shakes, and the like! Another thing is for sure, though – your taste-testing session will certainly be fun!

These five new wedding trends for 2018 will really do a lot to liven things up at your special day. While many people often know the drill when it comes to the standard wedding, one or more of these elements will give them that unexpected yet pleasant surprise that will surely delight them to no end.

Bridal Makeup Trends to Try, Stat

One of the nicest things about today’s generation of brides is that they’re not afraid to try new things DIY-style – and that includes doing their own bridal makeup. Many people attribute this to Kate Middleton, who did her own makeup on her wedding day and looked absolutely stunning. While you probably have a general idea of how to do your base, take these bridal makeup trends in consideration if you’re looking to add something special or unique to your look for your wedding in Lake Como.

  • Try a strobing technique. Look extra glowing on your destination wedding in Lake Como by trying the strobing technique – which is the opposite of contouring. This time, you use a makeup product with sheen and apply it to areas which the light usually hits. We’re talking the apples of your cheeks, your brow bone, and the tip of your nose.
  • Use unique falsies. Falsies are great for giving you those lush, come-hither eyes for your Villa Balbianello Lake Como wedding, but why not take it up a notch by using one that comes in two tones? While we’re not suggesting one that comes in neon tones (unless you’re the ultra stand-out type, of course!) a set that has a hint of blue at the tips will really create big impact with minimal effort. Make sure you choose one wherein the color pops up during close up shots to make the change very subtle yet still defines your eyes in a unique way.

  • Do a peach-pink layered blush look. A single colored blush is very safe – but also very flat. If you want to add depth, dimension and a healthier looking flush (appropriate for the breathtaking Lake Como wedding venues you will choose from!), incorporate another color tone into your usual blush hue. Stipple on some pink color onto the apple of your cheeks, then layer the top most part with some peach tone to give it a bit of dimension. The ending result will really liven up your look!

  • Go on a skin glowing regimen months before the big day. Your wedding in Lake Como is definitely about your union, but one cannot deny the fact that all eyes will be on the bride on that day. This means months of prepping not just your gown, but also your skin. If you want less makeup on the day of your wedding in Lake Como, you should ensure that your skin looks its best. Consult your dermatologist for a combination of acids that will gently renew your skin and bring out the glow, and stick to the regimen faithfully until the big day. The result will mean less HD makeup (because your pores will look naturally small), and more fun for you as you use fun products that won’t require a super smooth base.

 

Above all, remember that bridal makeup is something that you should have fun with. You should be very familiar about which trends will suit your skin type, face shape, and personal features – then from there see which new trend will bring out the best version of yourself.
