Fashionable decor. Unity with nature. Free dress code for guests

During the New Year's chimes, many girls will receive a marriage proposal. After the happy celebration, the search for original, non-standard wedding decor ideas will begin. Nobody wants to repeat themselves, and that’s why brides are increasingly typing “decor and wedding trends 2017” into Google.

The editors of the site anticipate the expectations of brides and publish an interesting, rich long-read article about what decorating techniques will be popular in the new wedding season.

The experts of the article were talented decorators from the CIS:

1. Prints, tropics,crystal, velvet, multi-level decor, copper, bronze, scale.

The Pantone Color Institute also works for the fashion industry, which annually issues a guide to the colors that designers will work with. Read our complete description of each color. You remember how all decorators eagerly await the beginning of December, when Pantone announces the color of the year. It determines which color will appear most often in the wedding decor.

Our expert decorators also shared their thoughts on what wedding decorations brides will want in 2017.

When looking for inspiration, I often turn to clothing designers' fashion shows. They have a very keen sense of new trends and trends, and practically look into the future. Some of their ideas can be integrated into wedding decor. For example, bright prints or unexpected color combinations. But, it seems to me, you shouldn’t blindly follow fashion trends, whatever they may be, you need to become trendsetters yourself.

Decor trends should always be expected, because the entire world of fashion and design is built on this - new approaches and ideas are proclaimed annually and seasonally, which indicates the dynamic development of the industry. Since new trends in decor come from world fashion, clothing design and interior design, we can assume that the use of color gradients and cold, “dusty” shades,and among materials they will become popular againcrystal and velvet.

The most striking trends were tropical motifs, use optical illusions and stylish geometry, a combination of natural and artificial decorative elements, as well as the predominance copper and bronze shades in wedding decoration. In our projects we are increasingly using large-scale art objects and installations. Another bright trend is multi-level decor, which fills the entire space of the site: floor, walls and even the ceiling. New role found in the wedding world light projections and plasma screens, thanks to which the delightful night ceremonies under open air. (decorator Lidiya Simonova, Lid's Eventhouse)

2. Giant art objects, tall structures, cascades, staged and interactive decor.

If three years ago, in order to surprise guests, it was enough to decorate a classic arch in a green meadow with fresh flowers, but now this is not enough. Guests expect a wow factor. Therefore, the traditional arch for an outdoor ceremony was transformed into giant installations with multi-tiered decor, where, sometimes, no fresh flowers are used at all. They can be replaced by art objects made of polystyrene foam, crystal, or metal.

In 2017, it is important to make wedding decor not just beautiful, but filled with meaning. Such a turn is connected with more and more, in which not a single detail exists without reference to the plot. This is especially true for decor, because it is the most expressive element in creating a spiritual wedding.

Using examples of the work of decorators, read how, with the help of decorative techniques, they were able to rethink the space of the hall and create a new atmosphere, sensations and mood at the wedding.

Traditional arches are now rarely used. They should be done only when it is necessary to emphasize rigor and consistency of the classics. In other cases, it makes sense to resort to interesting solutions and techniques.

For example, if the hall has ceiling support beams and it is possible to use the ceiling, then it is worth adding crystal chandeliers, cascades of crystal threads or fabric fringe, flowing compositions and elements of fresh and decorative flowers to the decor. Hanging structures can also be used to decorate the ceremony area.

The same applies to the hall - an alternative to classic tall flowerpots can be cascades and specially made tall structures. In a closed space, they can be fixed above each table or combine several tables. A very interesting and, in my opinion, unfairly rarely used technique is creating tall, massive decorations not on tables, but around them- in general, this may turn out to be ideal solution common space of the hall, especially a small one, since in this way all guests have access general review to the hall and stage. (decorator Lidiya Simonova, Lid's Eventhouse)

The decor of Lid's Eventhouse - a giant door in the Art Deco style for an outdoor ceremony fit into the overall ambiance of the old mansion.

This season we have had many examples of non-classical arches. For example, on the “Birth of the Universe” project, we invited the couple to climb transparent staircase into zero gravity to a height of 2 floors, and guests watched what was happening from the balconies of the atrium of the hotel where the wedding took place. Also, the ceremony took place at the top of Olympus - three-tier podium with giant wings; or inside huge metal cage, decorated with many flowers.

As for tall floral arrangements on tables, I am more of a supporter of the classics. Of course, everything depends on the style, and in some projects it will be more appropriate to somehow play with the floral design in an original way. So, once at our wedding the guests' tables were decorated metal square cages with roses, but this theme was evident throughout the decor.

This season has been very productive for us for just such projects that go beyond the usual. For the “Birth of the Universe” wedding, we turned the hotel atrium into a real one especially for the ceremony space with a stairway to heaven: black drapery of the walls, models of planets, play of light, music– and the guests plunged into weightlessness.

Another bold idea and its implementation was the wedding of outstanding athletes Daria and Alexander Radulov. It was stylish and modern interpretation ancient Greek theme with monumental Atlases holding the “sky” for the wedding dinner, and majestic angels who rose with the couple to Olympus, specially created for the ceremony. (set designer Maria Kamenskaya, design group Kamenskaya.ru)

The decor of Maria Kamenskaya - a floating “arch” in the form of a huge cage with doves against the backdrop of the bay creates a feeling of weightlessness.

Decor Maria Kamenskaya - wedding "Birth of the Universe"

It is always necessary to surprise and delight guests at a wedding, and this requirement will only intensify in 2017. Therefore we are betting on original giant art objects in decor.

The art objects themselves, although beautiful, must become interactive, they must perform an unexpected action to create a wow effect among the guests and surprise the newlyweds themselves. You might think of someone soaring up as if on wings, huge flowers blooming as if in a sped-up video, the sun spinning around its axis and simultaneously sending warm rays to everyone present.

If designer decor and interactivity are transferred to the individuality of the newlyweds, it will turn out to be a story unlike any other. This is the essence of an author's wedding! Important to display inner world and the existing love between the bride and groom, then we, as decorators, will work as artists, where the internal and external content are identical, corresponding to the history of acquaintance, love, meetings, elements of the newlyweds’ life. Decor 2017 is the beauty of love.

3. Freedom of expression in decor, risk and unique thinking, non-standard locations, classic game with new rules.

Decorators really don’t like to be asked what wedding style will be popular in the new season. After all, newlyweds are not a herd that follows the shepherd. Each couple has their own personal story relationships, their views on the world, taste preferences that come from their lifestyle.

Based on key knowledge about the couple, decorators can offer personalized wedding decor. Even if the newlyweds prefer classics and traditions, the decor can be presented in a new way. This is expressed primarily in the decorator’s ability to carry classic concept through all the details of the wedding, starting from color range and ending with accessories.

How to make your wedding unique and different from others, you can learn from the advice of our expert decorators.

Each style may be close to one bride and not to another - all styles have something special, and choosing one of them is a very individual and serious process.

My main advice– whatever concept and style you choose, stick to it from start to finish. If you decide to have a seasoned classic wedding, then it should be like this in everything, using classic colors, appropriate decorations and accessories. When choosing a bold and bright wedding, absolute novelty in the perception of colors, unexpected materials and freedom of expression, and, again, complete adherence to the given style. (decorator Lidiya Simonova, Lid's Eventhouse)

Lid's Eventhouse decor - unexpected materials and freedom of expression - main trend at the wedding.

I can’t say for sure which decor trends should absolutely not be used in the new season. It all depends on the wishes of the couple, the capabilities of the site and many other factors. In addition, even familiar techniques can be play in a new way you just need a little more creativity and imagination. By the way, the desire for uniqueness and unusualness own wedding , can easily be called a trend of the outgoing season. And it is definitely not fully realized yet, so it will continue in next year.

I would recommend brides to listen to their desires and not be afraid to experiment. After all, the most spectacular decisions are always the riskiest. For example, spend ceremony in a cave, or wedding dinner - at dilapidated mansion, or appear on time morning of the bride in the form of a mermaid. But, at the same time, classic weddings, like a small black dress, will never go out of style. And if the bride dreams of traditional holiday in pastel or snow-white colors, we will always be happy to make her dream come true. (set designer Maria Kamenskaya, design group Kamenskaya.ru)

We as decorators can tell our brides all the wedding style ideas and trends, but she doesn't have to follow them. It is important for us, first of all, to understand her character, taste, preferences, views on life, and design. Then combine our vision of decor with that location which she chose for wedding ceremony and a gala dinner. Explore these places, evaluate all the pros and cons, compare what other decorators have created, find the highlight of the location, thanks to which the decor will move to new heights.

An interesting process occurs when we want to combine the individuality of the newlyweds with the chosen decor and location. And then it is born wedding trend suitable for this couple. I would call it natural classic style with natural elements combined with iconic objects from the life of the newlyweds. (Decorator Liliya Kutuzova, Studio of author's decor Nebo)

It is quite difficult for brides to understand all the styles. Because in

Planning to have an amazing wedding? Then you are definitely wondering what the main wedding trends 2017. Please note that the most popular styles weddings this year - boho, Russian folk and floral-fruity. The main colors are luxurious gold, noble emerald and ombre effect. And the styles of bridesmaid dresses are particularly feminine and romantic, which is achieved through light fabrics and cute accessories. If we talk about photo sessions, naturalness is important here: photos in nature, accidentally captured smiles and moments of tenderness. But this is brief, and now let’s try to understand the trends of the new season in more detail.

Wedding dresses - trends 2017

A wedding dress in the new season can be not only white, because the stores have a rich assortment of dresses of all kinds of colors: powder, soft blue, red and even black. The materials used are flowing silk, romantic lace and airy organza. This season, you can choose either no sleeves or any of their styles, for example, three-quarter, long or puff sleeves.

The squeak of the season is the shine of fabrics and elements of dresses. Who else, if not the bride, should shine at a wedding, outshining everyone around? You can choose not only colorful fabrics, but also focus on details such as sparkles, sequins, beads or embroidery with shiny threads. Decor made from fluffy bird feathers is no less popular. They can be either white or multi-colored. Feathers decorate any part of the bride's dress, from the neckline to the hem.

Wedding makeup 2017 - fresh ideas

Makeup is definitely an important component of a bride's look. What trends in wedding make-up are worth knowing?

• The so-called makeup without makeup. Smooth skin, delicate blush and natural radiance.
• Bright lips of the bride. For this, red, berry or wine shades of lipsticks are used.
• Original makeup. It is usually done with huge false eyelashes in the form of feathers, rhinestones, designs on the face and eyelids.
• Classical wedding make-up , with spectacularly emphasized expressive eyes, is always timeless.

New this year is stylized wedding makeup. It is best to do this type of makeup if you are having a themed wedding. For example, fairy tale or Japanese. Just tell your stylist about your wedding idea and he will select best image for its implementation. Believe me, your face will become a real work of art!

Fashion for bridal bouquets in 2017

When choosing flowers for your wedding bouquet this year, forget about all prejudices and rules. Now in fashion is mischievous eclecticism - mixing different colors and color combinations. Do you want to make a bouquet of traditional and such beautiful roses? Think again! There is a huge variety of colors on the market that it would be a shame not to take advantage of this opportunity. Experiment, choose unusual floral combinations, give free rein to your imagination.

There can be only one limitation here. It’s better not to include flowers in your bouquet that you don’t like the smell of. After all, such plants can give you a headache and ruin your mood, but it should be impeccable on this day. It is also worth paying attention to the weight and size of the bouquet. If the bride's floral arrangement is too large and heavy, it will be difficult to carry throughout the day. Think about your girlfriends who will catch the bouquet. You don't want to injure anyone, do you?

Wedding flower arrangements are divided into the following types:

• Semicircle
• Cascade bouquet
• Bouquet-handbag
• Bouquet-clutch
• And many others

If you want something original, add current seasonal elements to your bouquet. For example, in winter you can take fir cones, pine needles or fluffy cotton inflorescences. The character of the autumn wedding is emphasized autumn leaves, ripe fruits and acorns. In summer and spring, shells, fruits or delicate bird feathers will look great.

Fashion trends in wedding decor 2017

Wedding decor in 2017 is eclectic, allowing several trends to exist at once. Firstly, weddings in eco and rustic styles are still in trend. The only difference from previous season- no boundaries between them, since these styles are similar in many ways. A wedding in eco or rustic style necessarily implies such natural materials, like moss or wood, and they try to carry it out in nature.

Secondly, the already forgotten bohemian style, as well as vintage and retro, has returned to the wedding world. This format is based on fashionable elements of the last century, taking as a basis the most colorful decades: the glamorous and luxurious 20s and 30s and the heyday of the feminine 50s and 60s. For example, a Gatsby-style wedding came to us straight from the 20s.

Bohemian style is also very eclectic. Gypsy tunes, boho, handmade and folk - this year the bohemian wedding will take its toll! Just be careful. When decorating a bohemian wedding, it’s easy to slip into tasteless decor. Therefore, select all elements carefully.

Thirdly, in 2017 the ombre effect is very popular. If earlier it dominated wedding dresses, now it has also conquered festive decor.

Decoration of the formal hall

What is the best way to decorate a wedding hall in 2017? This time is worth supporting uniform style, not forgetting the accents. To avoid mistakes, divide the decorating process into four stages:

• Write a plan where the decor idea will be written out and drawn in detail.
• Decide where additional lighting will be installed.
• Select the main and secondary shades that should be visible in the holiday decoration.
• Consider harmonious decoration of tables and chairs.

The most fashionable colors season - pink and emerald. They are good both individually and together. Bright and energetic emerald shades the tenderness and lightness of pink. The most successful fabrics for decoration are silk, satin, lace and velvet.

The trend is also a variety of paper decor, which the newlyweds can create themselves, investing a piece of their love. Paper garlands, lanterns, wish trees or other little things will add interesting notes to the design of your celebration.

Holiday table decoration

The easiest and most effective way to start decorating a holiday table is to choose the right fabric. After all, the material can not only cover a not very beautiful tabletop or rusty legs, but also transform appearance restaurant hall, if it is beautifully draped. The right fabric will highlight the unique style of the wedding and create a romantic atmosphere in the room. The selected material can also be used to drape not only tables, but also walls. This is how you create beautiful background behind the newlyweds or a gentle photo zone for guests.

In 2017 fashion is the use of a minimum number of colors. Limit yourself to 2-3 shades, or you can even decorate everything in a monochrome style, focusing on only one color. For example, a wedding done entirely in white shades looks impressive. Be creative, because even with a very limited budget, you can decorate your holiday table in such a way that it will look amazing.

Wedding floristry

In 2017, wedding fashion is practically a triumph of democracy, because it extols individuality and that very special story every couple that newlyweds strive to tell at their celebration. This is reflected in the variety of trends and styles from which you can choose what suits your taste.

For example, if the newlyweds want to have a wedding that glorifies fruits or citrus fruits, they can do this by decorating it accordingly. Beautiful ripe fruits will be hung everywhere, they will also be present in the bride’s bouquet, on the arch for exit registration and on the roof of the wedding procession.

The Provence style also uses lavender sprigs, soft lace, forged elements and roses for decoration.

Among general trends this year it is worth noting the popularity of pink and purple flowers, and completely different shades: both soft warm and cold.

And today we want to present you our large-scale selection wedding trends 2017. Our words will be confirmed by the stories that were included in the list of the best of the year on Weddywood.

Concepts and style

The move away from classic wedding celebrations towards more personalized celebrations that reflect the personalities of the bride and groom that we have seen over the past couple of years is encouraging. In the new season we can expect even more individuality and bold decisions!

Chamber weddings

If previously most newlyweds associated a wedding with a magnificent celebration for several hundred guests, now last years We are seeing a shift to more events where only family and close friends are present (no more than 40 guests). This allows you to make your holiday more individual, homely, filled with family warmth and comfort.

One location

Getting ready at the hotel, the registry office, a photo shoot in several places, a banquet outside the city - this format of the holiday implies a large number of travel on the wedding day, which “eats up” a lot of time and complicates organization and timing. In the new season, it is better to abandon this in favor of holding the entire wedding day on one site. This allows the newlyweds to concentrate on the holiday itself and spend this day not in traffic jams, but enjoying communication with loved ones.

Don’t think that a wedding held from morning preparations to the final fireworks display in one place will be boring and less dynamic. On the contrary, if you draw up in advance, prepare several zones (such as the ceremony area, lounge area, photo zone, etc.) and think through entertainment program, which will include not only toasts and dancing, but also active entertainment for guests, the holiday will pass fun and at the same time without unnecessary fuss and nerves. And it will be much easier to maintain a certain style on one site.

Cosiness

Cozy style is not only rustic or eco. Rather, on the contrary, the less your wedding will be tied to some specific style and the more personal details, the more cozy and warm the atmosphere of the evening will be.

Organize the celebration in the format of a family dinner, when all the guests and newlyweds sit at one long table surrounded by warm light candles. Calm music, relaxed atmosphere, intimate conversations - this is exactly what will make your holiday unforgettable!

Modern elegance

The classic wedding style still does not lose its position, but in the new season it opens from a different side. Modern classic– this is lightness, airiness, tenderness and elegance. That's why the best solution for lovers of the classics there will be a wedding in a villa or in country hotel, where it is possible to conduct a photo shoot and ceremony in the open air, and have dinner in elegant and aristocratic interiors by candlelight.

Bold Concepts

We saw a lot of unexpected stylistic combinations and bold concepts in 2016, and this trend will only gain momentum in 2017. Metallic, geometry, loft, modern, bride in a minidress and leather jacket– such unusual and seemingly completely “non-wedding” ideas are now at the peak of their popularity.

Don’t be afraid to combine several concepts or add unexpected details to a certain style, and in general, don’t be afraid of your desires - this is how the most unforgettable holidays are born!

On the edge of the world

A wedding abroad is the dream of many newlyweds. But in addition to classic destinations such as Italy, Spain, Montenegro, modern newlyweds should also consider countries South-East Asia(Bali, Indonesia, etc.) And for lovers of more northern landscapes, we recommend paying attention to Iceland - its mesmerizing nature will become the best decoration your holiday.

Ideas

In 2017, we will see even more non-standard solutions and ideas that will make not only the wedding day itself, but also the time of preparation for it an unforgettable adventure for the newlyweds!

Modern technologies

The Internet and social networks have become an integral part of the lives of not only newlyweds and their friends, but also the older generation, so in 2017 electronic wedding invitations and wedding websites will become increasingly popular. This will greatly simplify the preparation process, because... all information will be collected in one place and you will not have to personally explain to each guest your wishes regarding the dress code or directions to the banquet venue.

Ceremony without gadgets

New traditions

Modern newlyweds are increasingly abandoning traditions that are boring, irrelevant, or simply incomprehensible to them, and that’s great! But the ransom, the doves, the throwing of the bouquet and the garter are being replaced by new traditions that couples endow with their own meaning.

This makes their holiday more personal and fills it with unforgettable emotions. This could be a wine or sand ceremony, planting a plant, a dance flash mob for all guests instead of the newlyweds’ first dance, or something that you come up with!

Wedding looks

Trends towards more cozy and homely weddings leave their mark on the images of the bride and groom - the trend is naturalness, naturalness and lightness.

Colored bridesmaid dresses

Certainly, White color A wedding dress will always be timeless and fashionable, but for those brides who want to add some zest to their look and emphasize their individuality, the coming 2017 has prepared several surprises. And first of all, this is a trend for colored Wedding Dresses. The most popular shades are dusty pink, soft blue, light gray or beige.

Crop top + skirt

The peak of popularity of such dresses for brides came precisely in 2016, but next year such images will be very relevant at summer youth weddings. To look stylish and sexy, but not provocatively, pay attention to outfits with a fairly closed top and a skirt with high rise, which leave only a small strip of the abdomen open.

For more daring brides, fashion designers are offering a completely unexpected option in 2017 - wedding suit"jacket + trousers" format.

Light groom suits

Slightly less official in upcoming season The outfits for the groom will also become: give up strictly black (with the exception of weddings in a classic elegant style) and in favor of more light shades and informal images.

In 2017, you should pay attention to brown, beige, dusty blue or gray, shirts with rolled up sleeves and a vest instead of a jacket. Such images will look especially relevant in spring and summer. But in the cold season, suits in dark green, gray or burgundy will be more relevant than ever.

Free dress code for guests

Last year we saw a lot of weddings where the bridesmaids didn't wear matching dresses - and it looked very fresh and stylish! Let’s not stop there, and suggest that next season you completely abandon the dress code.

To create a harmonious picture, offer guests a certain color palette, explain the wedding style and prepare mood boards with suitable images, but do not force them into a strict framework of one color or style.

Dark palettes for bouquets

If 2016 passed in a pink and blue cloud of delicate bridal bouquets, then the next season will be painted in richer and deeper colors. Burgundy, dark green, warm brown - it's time to add a little passion and luxury to the bride's image. In addition, bouquets are becoming more and more complex: they use not only flowers, but also succulents and fruits.

Details

There are two opposing trends in wedding decoration: on the one hand, a more comfortable decor using natural materials, on the other – strict minimalism and restraint of the “urban” style.

Refusal from floristry

Sweet table

A wedding cake is a wonderful element of a wedding, but in the upcoming season it is not at all necessary. Instead, you can focus on individual treats: cupcakes, macarons, donuts, etc. Choose one or two types of sweets and offer guests a variety of options with different flavors and toppings.

Minimalism

It is important to understand that minimalism does not necessarily mean strict and clear lines, monochrome and the absence of floristry. – it is rather a thoughtful use of color, a delicate pastel palette and a lack of frills in decor.

“Less is more” is the basis of minimalist decor. Avoid chair covers, tablecloths and voluminous floral arrangements, do not use more than 2-3 colors in the decor (the main shade should be light) and do not forget that the images of the newlyweds should be sophisticated and laconic.

Printing

Despite the fact that guests are increasingly receiving invitations in electronic format, the need for stylish wedding printing is obvious, because it includes a seating chart, personalized cards, and thank you cards.

Beautiful calligraphy is still relevant, but in 2017 an important emphasis should be placed on the material from which the printing is made. It can be leather, wood or even metal, but the most optimal (both in terms of cost and complexity of execution) option is fabric. Hand-painted, it will pleasantly surprise guests and will suit almost any wedding style.

Gold Accents

Golden details in decor will become one of the main trends of the new wedding season. You can use gold-colored flower vases, add a little sparkle to your wedding prints, and highlight the sparkly palette with candles in elegant candelabra. You can also add gold accents to your sweet table decoration.

How are wedding trends born? What will wedding fashion be like in 2017? What entertainment for guests is relevant and interesting for a modern wedding? These questions are of great concern primarily to brides, on whose fragile shoulders the responsibility for the wedding concept most often falls. When it comes to trends, I consider myself an expert, because... for more than 10 years I have successfully hunted and predicted them, working in the field of creating decorative cosmetics. My intuition has not let me down yet. I hope that the trends of the new wedding season, which I have described for you in this article, will help you find the latest and most original solutions for your special event.

How are wedding trends and color of the year 2017 born?

It's no secret that a trend (from the English trend - tendency) is formed based on the painstaking study of the widest areas of our life by specialists different countries. For example, many people know the Pantone Color Institute, which annually presents fashion palettes, and everyone is looking forward to what the color of 2017 will be announced. This will happen in December. In the meantime, we can rely on what has already been voiced fashion trends leading decorators, designers, event industry professionals.

How are these fashion trends born? They are based not only on the development of the fashion industry, but are also dictated by social, emotional and political global trends. Having studied the reports and forecasts of the world's leading laboratories for several months, studying the daily development of the event industry, I bring to your attention the main wedding trends that can be highlighted when talking about the topic: trends 2017.

Wedding decoration 2017.

Trend: Garden of Eden.

If in 2016 fashionable direction the wedding decor had a boho style, ethnic notes were clearly evident in the decoration of the celebration, prints and floristry were dominated by wild nature, an oasis in the desert was created. Then in 2017, leading designers invite us to enter the forbidden Garden of Eden, which is distinguished by greater luxury, a wealth of the most outlandish plants and flowers, with shapes in light style negligence, wood, stone, intertwined vines and objects with a touch of antiquity. Such a garden may contain gems, glaze and marble, birds of paradise, the most unusual color combinations, strange fruits, an embroidered silk stole with fringe or a hand-knitted blanket forgotten there the day before. It's simple: mix the tropics with a fantasy theme and get the most fashionable wedding decor of 2017.

Trend: illusions.

The second global trend is the creation of a multidimensional space that can tell us about all the diversity of the universe. The decor of the celebration will increasingly use metallized materials, mother-of-pearl and light, creating the illusion of twinkling stars. The plan itself undergoes major changes: important ceremonies are scheduled after sunset. Topics such as the universe, space, infinity, undersea world, air and simplicity, freedom of creativity. Conventional forms are becoming a thing of the past. We play with space: tables literally float in the air, a wedding cake literally falls from heaven on a swing, entire flower beds soar up to the ceiling. Tents, lofts, barns and design factories are transformed using 3D and 5D technologies, creating an unusual interactive space. And now the bride and groom literally come out to the guests from another planet.

Wedding color 2017.

The main two trends that I described also define the colors of 2017: a pastel “dusty” palette, as well as a palette that can be called “calm”, and a “tropical” direction, consisting of complex tints of bright, rich and deep tones. Fashionable colors include the colors of mother-of-pearl shells, the colors of tropical butterflies, the complex flowers of the ocean and the richness of green in the Garden of Eden. The more intricate the combination of semi-hues, the more relevant. And also focus on various textures, the kaleidoscope effect, the play of lighting or patchwork technique patchwork and even animal prints. At the helm: gray shades, pink range from delicate to fuchsia, juicy green and blue in the color of the night.

The trend is naturalness, lightness, softness and bohemian chic. This is evident both in the bride’s hairstyle and in the bouquet.

Designer wedding dresses in the new 2017 collections are memorable for their flowing fabrics, which are most often decorated with embroidery or lace. The new season has many options for translucent outfits, as well as with capes and collars. There has been a renewed interest in satin, velvet and fur - everything that creates truly royal dress for the bride.

The bride's bouquet 2017 is a subtle combination of, it seems, dozens of semi-hues and various plants. Slightly tousled, voluminous and airy. There is a lot of fresh greenery in the bouquets and the bride’s hairstyle, a little wild and textured. Designers also suggest decorating your hair with a mini cap made of stones, which is attached with a headband.

The entire look of the bride can be complemented with vintage jewelry with big stones, wide chokers around the neck are also in fashion. A scattering of glitter can be on shoes and in manicure.

Groom suit 2017.

The image of the groom in the coming season is also more democratic - more and more often designers are proposing to dress him in a suit made up of elements different shades, often made from fabric of different textures. Any accessories that the groom likes to wear are welcome: hats, bracelets, glasses, badges, rings. Shoes can also be non-standard, for example, sports shoes.

Entertainment for guests at a wedding 2017.

Trend: chamber wedding.

In 2017, the trend of wedding celebrations with a small number of guests will become even more popular, where it is possible to pay attention to everyone and personalize the scenario. What does it mean? In the wedding program, the story of the bride and groom is intertwined with the story of their loved ones and friends. Each guest is involved in the celebration not with the help of some competitions, but with the help of a free microphone, zones for various activities and relaxation at will. For guests we offer practically free choice: from a cocktail recipe and a type of tea to mini-stations with themed treats - wine, oyster, sweet, salty, spicy, exotic, beer, etc. It is at a chamber wedding with a small number of guests that such a scenario of free movement of guests can be realized.

Trend: live art.

Global interest in creativity could not but influence wedding trends, including in Russia. It should be noted that all elements become more relevant self made not only in wedding decoration, but also in the use of art themes in the celebration program.

We can invite guests not only to jointly paint a picture for the newlyweds’ family collection, but also to organize a flash mob. It's trending living art, which has no frames or restrictions, offers everyone self-expression: installations from scrap materials, flash mobs, creative graffiti workshops, dance master classes, areas for collective drawing paintings using throwing darts into paint balls, painting on porcelain, a master class in applying patterns to coffee foam, sand painting, collective writing of a poem, musical improvisations, creation of a panel applique on a wedding theme based on abstract painting made from colored geometric blanks - geometry, by the way, is also a hot trend in 2017.

Trend: Digital tools.

A global trend for modern weddings is the use of digital technologies. For example, creating a wedding website - a virtual space for all wedding guests, where they could show their activity. More and more often we will see online broadcasts from the scene of events, reality shows of wedding preparations. Even a wedding invitation becomes electronic - in the form of an interview with the bride and groom or a clickable interactive map of the wedding day. Guests have the opportunity to communicate between all participants in the celebration, and digital tools help coordinate all processes - from the function of making a gift according to the wishes of the newlyweds, to communication after the wedding.
