Recent years have seen brides rush to recreate their version of a royal wedding or something straight off a Pinterest board. But as we greet 2016, it’s clear brides are much more interested in going down the aisle their own way. “Couples today want a wedding that showcases who they are, that's a fun experience for their guests and that won’t look or feel dated — ever.

Which means the vendors making them happen can tell us what to expect from 2016 weddings. Sometimes their trend prediction differ—Will weddings be bright? Or muted?—but we’re excited to see who’s right.
2016 Wedding Colors
This year, Pantone is predicting more vivid shades to be incorporated into wedding palettes. Rose Quartz, Peach Echo, Serenity, and Lilac Gray are just a few of the shades we think brides will be incorporating into their wedding day. Navy will be replaced by the brighter shade, Snorkel Blue. There are also brighter colors such as Fiesta that just say “ready to party!”
Wedding Dress Trends
Colorful Boho Trend – Airy outdoor look with bright colors interspersed throughout. Rustic & soft details like harvest tables and dreamcatchers. Lots of texture with pops of color. White features offset with bold florals and colorful accents.
