Boy or boy, aren’t the times, a-changin’—and the world of weddings is definitely changing with it!
Despite being one of the oldest social rituals in the history of civilization, weddings are constantly evolving with the turn of the tide, with beautiful new trends reshaping the landscape of marital celebration!
As a professional wedding photographer, I urge all my clients to stay up to date with the latest in the wedding universe in order to deliver an album that’s authentic and true.
It’s your big day, after all—and you owe it to yourself to create a wedding album that tells your unique love story without resorting to clichés.
Once Upon a Wedding
If you’re nervous about doing something different on your wedding, take a deep breath and find a reliable person to share your ideas with.
It could be a sibling, a parent, a best friend or your partner—share your thoughts and do your research to know what’s doable and what isn’t.
A simple Google search will show you what’s trending in the wedding world in 2017.
But not all of these trends will be your cup’pa tea.
I’m always eager to discuss options with my clients, and find these 3 trends to be gaining momentum in Dallas:
Rustic Venues
Picture an old industrial warehouse illuminated with charming vintage chandeliers and vanilla-scented candles. Soft music, ambient and a merging of the old and new—it’s the perfect homage to the timelessness nature of love, making you and your guests nostalgic and sentimental (yep, that includes multiple generations)!
Hand-crafted Invitations
Personalizing your wedding invites is one of the most meaningful and creative wedding trends of the season.
Whether you choose to use textured paper or opt for gorgeous hand calligraphy—modern but personable stationery suite and reception signage is the latest in RSVP culture.
Scented papers, details about the event, custom menu; all are making an entry into the world of wedding invitations.
P.S. In the spirit of personalization and entertainment, more and more weddings are throwing in a surprise element for unassuming guests!
Thematic Photo Shoots
Are you getting married at a historic landmark? A ranch or a beach? Maybe in a rustic villa?
Wherever or whenever, know that a talented wedding photographer can use your venue as a meaningful backdrop to your love story. We’re talking props, accessories, professional photo shoot—the works!
Ultimately, your wedding album is more than photographing you getting married.
It’s about immortalizing the joys of loving and being loved, and capturing the colors and nuances of starting a journey with your soulmate!
