Brides planning a 2019 wedding are faced with a ton of decisions for their big day. From the dress to the color palette, to the bridesmaids and reception plans, there are just way too many trends and too many choices. What’s “in” this year? What is “out”? Birkat Elyon, a purveyor of high-quality cubic zirconia rings, has you covered. They’ve zeroed in on some of the hottest bridal trends for 2019. Read on to get some “of-the-moment” inspiration for your big day!
WALKING DOWN THE AISLE…TOGETHER
A lone groom standing at the end of that loooonnng aisle waiting to receive his bride feels a little bit…medieval. The hippest wedding planners are encouraging couples to make that walk together, as the guests stand to honor the beginning of their new life together.
BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES THAT SURPRISE
It’s an open secret that many bridesmaids aren’t exactly thrilled with their cookie-cutter dress choice. However, in 2019, the trend is towards non-traditional styles and colors. Hey, it’s not about “the dress” – it’s about having your besties with you on the Big Day! PS: Birkat Elyon has luscious cubic zirconia earrings and pendants to accessorize those dresses.
COLOR OF THE YEAR: CORAL
The most elegant weddings for 2019 will offset this gorgeous shade against deeper hues like emerald green and smoky grey. “Coral” was recently named “Color of the Year” by the design experts at Pantone. It will look stunning in a dress, centerpiece and more. When you offset it with darker shades like “mauve”, the effect is breathtaking. Overall, unexpected color combinations are the thing for 2019 weddings.
A MIX OF ATTENDANTS
It’s long been typical to have an even mix of bridesmaids and groomsmen. For 2019, that formula is blowing up. Trendy bridal parties mix it up with genders on both sides. So ladies, feel free to have your male friend from Junior High stand up for you. Guys? A longtime female pal may be part of “His” side.
DAY WEDDINGS
Many 2019 brides are opting for lower-key “day weddings.” Think garden parties, tea-length dresses, a string quartet and all that. Way less stress without losing any of the elegance.
DITCHING THE “WELCOME BAG”
A lot of wedding planners note that the contents of the traditional “welcome bag” frequently get left behind in the hotel room. Instead, consider gifting your out of town guests with a nice bottle of wine, or a donation to a local charity in their honor.
LARGE GREENERY ARRANGEMENTS
What could be more elegant and welcoming than walking into a space arranged with lush, over-the-top arrangements of fresh greens? Trendy brides are taking a tip from the royals who routinely deck things out with massive overflows of greenery or florals.
POSTPONING THE HONEYMOON
Let’s be real: most couples are flat-out exhausted after all the planning and excitement of the wedding. Smart wedding planners recommend that couples wait a week before departing for their honeymoon. It gives both of you a chance to catch your breath, repack and thus, really enjoy this most romantic of trips.
Here’s another tip. If you want to gift your bridesmaids, groomsmen or other special people with a dazzling piece of jewelry, consider the options from Birkat Elyon. They have a long tradition of providing quality cubic zirconia pieces of all types. Let them guide you in offering those closest to you with something truly extraordinary.
