Trends I Love - Non-Traditional Tables
Looking for a unique way to seat your guests? Sick of the traditional round banquet tables? Brides these days are getting creative in EVERY aspect of their planning and this includes the type of tables they use. Depending on the size of your guest list and the layout of your venue you can do a couple of different things. For smaller weddings, one long table utilizing both sides would make the dinner feel very intimate and personal.
If you either don't have the space in your venue or just want to break it up a little, consider doing several rectangular guests tables.
Or if you are looking for something very unique and you have ample space to use, check out these serpentine tables. Now wouldn't that get the guests talking! And very memorable as well.
But of course, there is nothing to say you can use a little of everything! I love this look...
Are there other set ups that you have seen and really liked? Are you planning something different for your guests? I'd love to hear about them.

Trends I Love - Lovely Linens
Love this idea too! This couple used maps to cover their tabletops, it helped to incorporate their theme of travel and flight. No one says that tables have to be covered with fabric!

Trends I Love - Creative Ring Shots
When we were married almost 7 years ago I didn't know much about photography and so I just went with someone that was more traditional, the same person my sister had used. Photography is the one major thing I would change about our wedding, I wish I would have hired someone more creative. One of my favorite things photographers are doing these days are the awesome and creative shots of the couples rings. It might not be a brand new trend but it's still a trend I love.
This is the shot we have of our rings...
Uh....yeah....pretty standard and traditional.
Oh how I wish I had some awesome shots of our rings, like these from a few West Michigan photographers.

Trends I Love - Guys with Style
Not every wedding is a good match with wearing the traditional black tux and not every guy wants to wear one quite frankly. Grooms these days (with a little help from their significant other, I'm sure) are finding their own style on their wedding day. Whether it be from a funky tie or vest, a colorful pair of socks or even a completely unique look head to toe, it is being done. One fun idea I've seen done was that the groom, best man, groomsmen and ushers all wore different striped neck ties in the wedding colors depending on their "title". And then there is the casual outdoors or beach wedding that a nice sweater or dress shirt and khakis may flow.

Hair Styles for Amazing Accessories
Since I talked about Amazing Accessories yesterday, I thought some of you might want to see some ideas on how to wear your hair using those accessories. Here are a few pictures using great hair clips, combs, broaches, and a bird cage veil.

Here are a few great vendors/locations where you can pick up some fun and unique pieces for your big day.
