Apparently, it’s hip to be square. Paris controls the colors, but Milan controls the patterns. The flourishes, circles, and rounded 1960′s type patterns that have dominated the wedding industry are giving way to defined boxed lines in everything from invitations and wedding decor, to hip couture bridesmaid dresses. And crystals are definitely THE accent pieces to go with them!
How does this affect us? Only as much as we want it to, but the great thing is that we can take these suggestions and make them our own. The use of squares can be seen throughout your ceremony in the shape of the sand containers or candles used in your unity celebration. And if you choose to follow this trend and are creating your own wedding programs, step outside of the box (pun intended), and use an 8.5 x 11 paper in your colors. This way you can maximize style and finances.
And who says that bridal cakes have to be round? Go for a square tiered cake. Not only is it fashionable, but it makes for a better photo/video opportunity because the cutting goes much more smoothly.
Crystals. Think back to rock candy. Now you have a safe, edible opportunity to decorate your cake, your tables, even the favors that you put out for your guest.
If you have additional ideas for “being square” or “crystal clear”, please share them with us, as well as your fellow brides/bridesmaids.
