Make your reception memorable with these top wedding trends

For those newly-engaged couples who are starting the wedding planning process, it’s hard to keep straight about what’s popular for weddings these days. Taylor Leavell, Wedding Specialist at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel, guides us through the big wedding trends in 2019, and how you can use them in your wedding:

Wedding Colors
o    Living Coral is Pantone Color of 2019
o    Not quite pink, not quite orange. Can be paired with both for a sunset look
o    Coral can look royal when paired with navy
o    bold and fun when paired with mint
o    natural when paired with beige and green

Greenery
o    Bring the outdoors in
o    More than just flowers, vines, branches, moss, succulents, herbs

Balloons
o    Balloon arches, balloon centerpieces, balloon letters
o    Can incorporate your colors

When it comes to wedding decorating, Taylor shares some great additions that can really give your wedding that “wow factor:”

Lighting
o    Make the room feel a certain way with lighting
o    Pink and white up lights can be romantic
o    Neon lights can be a fun party feel
o    Display names or a symbol with a globo light

Candles
o    Very romantic touch

Stealing favors are also becoming more trendy at weddings in 2019. Use favors that are great for double dipping when it comes to décor:

Scented Candles
