Well there are many buy my favorite will have to be the creative couple. We are really seeing couples now infusing more of there own personalities into their ceremonies and reception. It's all about branding. Couples are really focusing on having their guest have a fun time. I say if a person has thought of enough of you to take time out of their day/weekend to come spend with you and witness the two of you become one (some travel for your event and some will even bring a gift!). They deserve to have a great time!!
Here are a few trends we have our eye on for 2015
Food Extravaganza
Food and drinks will be taking center stage this wedding season. We're talking doughnut stations, mini drink stations doubling as escort card stations, vegan and gluten-free stations. A lot of people are becoming more health conscious these days, so couples are wanting to tap into that too, and accommodate all of their guests.
Bridal Jumpsuits
This season's runway wedding dress designs are more playful and dressed down. Jumpsuits, separates and menswear-inspired styles, like these ones by Houghton, Delphine Manivet and Theia are giving the traditional bridal look a new edge that's a bit celebrity inspired. There was an overwhelming amount of hoopla over Solange Knowles cream jumpsuit.
Yes there is an App for that! - Wedding Planning Assistance
Couples today are more tech savvy and want the convenience of everything at their fingertips. You don't need to get all of your bridesmaids together to tie bows on wedding favors anymore. Instead, lots of couples are enlisting wedding planning help through apps like TaskRabbit to take on any small to-dos, TouristEye to help plan the honeymoon itinerary, and The Knot Wedding Planner app to find and get in touch with all of the right wedding pros. Being a wedding guest is easier this year too. All of the major registries make it easy to buy gifts straight from your phone, and Uber and Lyft ensure guests don't have trouble finding a ride at the end of the night.
Dress #3
Why have one when you can have three? Brides are becoming more fashion forward and couples are wanting to party into the wee ours of the night. Instead of weddings having the customary two parts (ceremony & reception) the afer-party is being added into the mix. So the bride's wants to change into something even more festive. So imagine a beautiful ball gown for the ceremony, a sleek sheath for the reception and then a short, minidress for the after-party. I know it sounds like a lot, but sometimes a girl just can't decide!
Unexpected Wedding Venues
More couples will look to unexpected spots for their wedding venue, like castles, private estates, museums and. The best part about a unique venue choice is you don't have to go overboard on all the décor -- you can let the space speak for itself. Keep in mind that if you go this way, the logistics may be trickier than they would in a traditional wedding venue.

Creative Wedding Photography
Gone are the days of the couple and their bridal party attendants taking photos only at the altar. I'm so ecstatic that photographers are continuing to push away from that more and more. Can you say boring?? Photographers are getting more creative in mostly at the couples request.
 
Happy Planning,
