With so many great and unique wedding trends emerging, traditional weddings have now become even more rare. While most wedding trends change from season to season, these have garnered quite a following from brides-to-be everywhere!
The biggest overall wedding trend that has been emerging since the start of the new year is the personalization of the ceremony. Instead of picking the traditional processional music, grooms and brides are picking songs that are more representative of their relationship and history together- some with lyrics, and some instrumental only. Other elements of the ceremony also reflect upon the couple’s history together with other small, personal touches like self-written vows and the involvement of pets. Personalization is also a great way to save some money since it allows the couple to reflect on what they really find important to include in the ceremony.
Wedding attire is another thing that is changing rapidly. Many weddings are finding more focus on the groom’s outfit than in the past, while brides are getting more glamorous with their gown choices. Hollywood style, form-fitting dresses are very sought after currently with plunging backs, high slits, and eye-catching embellishments.
Wedding menus are also being revamped in weddings across the globe. While cakes are the traditional choice, cupcakes were starting to gain grounds because of their extra convenience and cuteness. However, cake pops are now replacing cupcakes with even more portability. These adorable bite sized pieces of cake are becoming a huge hit at weddings everywhere! Buffets are also becoming increasingly popular because they provide guests with more options and the ability to control their portions.
Wedding videos are now becoming a thing of the past with the emergence of “marryoke”. Now, wedding guests (and participants!) lip-sync and dance to a selected song at different points in the ceremony and reception. All of these clips are then edited together to make a music video full of special moments.

Easter represents renewal and growth- both perfect metaphors for a romantic wedding ceremony! Easter themed weddings are becoming increasingly popular with Spring newlyweds. Here are some tips and suggestions on how to plan a perfect Easter themed wedding that your guests will love!
There are many delicate, beautiful colors to choose from for an Easter themed wedding. Pastels are a very popular choice with light greens, yellows, and blues being very common. Creams and whites make for great accent colors, while turquoise or pink accents can add a little more excitement.
An Easter theme is easy to incorporate into wedding attire too! Lace or chiffon gowns are perfect for the glowing bride, while her hair can be delicately decorated with fresh spring flowers. Greys make for great colors for the groomsmen and will accent wedding colors perfectly. Bridesmaids can accent their dresses with light lace wraps or delicate flowers. Flower girls can also embrace the easter theme by carrying a basket of fresh Spring flowers and small Easter eggs.
Easter themed decorations are a breeze for a perfect wedding! Modern polka dot patterns or stripes are perfect for fabrics, while white baskets full of fresh flowers act as great centerpieces. Fresh rose petals also make for great table decorations. Trees also make for a great decorations, especially when the branches are lined with fresh flowers or small eggs. If a white basket is too ornate for a centerpiece, try filling colorful jars with flower petals as a smaller and more simple substitute.
You can serve traditional appetizers and entrees at your wedding, or you can continue to follow the Easter theme by serving an Easter brunch! Mimosas, eggs benedict, or even an omelette bar are a great start.

It may be one of the generally unnoticed elements during a wedding but believe us when we say that a wedding flower bouquet should also be given importance. After all, a wedding flower bouquet will be what the bride will bring with her as she marches down the aisle. But how do you choose your flowers for your wedding bouquet? HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong, your friendly neighborhood bridal shop in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, is ready to give you helpful tips on how to choose your flower bouquet.
Check out these easy to follow tips from HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong:
First off, your wedding bouquet must be right for your body shape. Hence, do a quick check first. How tall are you? Are you thin or do you consider yourself a slightly heavier? You see, if you are a petite girl, you might want to choose a large teardrop or sheath wedding bouquet. These wedding flower bouquets tend to add height so these will help give the illusion of length. Don’t choose flower wedding bouquets that have posies in them as this will only make you look short. On the other hand, if you’re tall, you can choose a large posy or a medium teardrop wedding bouquet. The former will help draw the attention of the people who will look at you to a different focal point while the latter will help draw the eye down. This will help accentuate your height. Meanwhile, if you consider yourself a bit of slightly heavier, you should also choose a large wedding bouquet. You see, if you have a small flower bouquet, this will only accentuate your width, which we know you would not want to happen. If you have a large wedding flower bouquet, though, this will help make you look thinner or slimmer.
