Stay On Trend

Coastal Wedding Trends We’re Seeing for 2017…

- Instead of a traditional “theme,” many beach brides are going with a coastal “vibe.” Rather than adding to the beach setting with additional décor, let the peaceful, laidback location speak for itself with an ocean-inspired color palate and subtle accents.

- Bring the hues of the coast to your wedding color palate with sunshine yellows and deep ocean blues.

- Brides are opting for quick and intimate ceremonies with just their closest friends and family. Have guests stand with you in the sand and keep your vows short and sweet. Consider a bench or two for older guests to have a seat.

- On and off the beach, brides are choosing loose, beachy hairstyles for their big day, keeping their look as light and fun as the ocean breeze.
