Wedding Trends That You Want to Know. Really!!! You may recognize some of these trends from last year, and even years past. While some of the picks are new on the scene -- they certainly should stick around. Whatever your budget or style is, be confident there is a trend on the list that will work for your Big Day! Colors: 2015 brought us a lot of pinks, whites and creams, and 2016 is going to bring in those same colors but muted way down! That mono-chromatic look is going to be huge from winter weddings to kick off the year and straight through Fall of 2016. You will be seeing less pops of the bright pinks, and colors that are very close together. The bold colors that you likely haven’t really seen since 2013 when emerald was Pantone’s color of the year, will start making a comeback in late 2015, early 2016. By that time, couples are

going to be ready to move past the soft colors and let their colors pack a huge punch. Flowers: Peonies, hydrangea, spray roses, sweet peas and garden roses are going to be popular early in the year and during the spring. You will see a lot of these flowers in whites, and the brightest color will be a pale pink. While 2014 and 2015 put these flowers in clear vases, 2016 will bring in statement pieces in gold, silver and especially copper. Since the flowers are going to be so pale, the best way to make them stand out will be to place them in containers that are bold. Gold and silver will still be staples, but you’ll be seeing the use of copper and mercury glass more and more. Less of the bold wildflower variety in the summer and fall, and more classic colors. Baby breath continues to be very popular.
