Wedspiration Wednesday: 10 Wedding Trends In 2016

We loved seeing the trends that came from 2015 and now, we can’t wait to see what comes up this year! After some research from various wedding blogs and Pinterest, we noticed these 10 trends popping up continuously.

Bye bye strapless gowns.

Get ready to see more wedding gowns with more coverage on the shoulders. Whether you like beaded cap sleeves or full lace sleeves, strapless gowns are becoming something of the past and honestly, we’re not mad about it.

Band & DJ.

So you want the best of both worlds of having a band and a DJ at your wedding? 2016 is saying that’s okay! Having a laid back band play during cocktail hour will surprise and entertain your guests. Later, you can really get the party started with a DJ!

Unplugged Wedding.

You want your guests to be present during your event. Cell phones are a huge distraction not only to them but can also make it difficult for your photographer whom you’ve paid to capture the biggest moments. This trend of requesting guests to refrain from using their cells during the ceremony is becoming more known in 2016.
