Vintage and Modern Brides - New Twists on Old Favorites

The ring is on your finger, the date is set… it’s time to start planning one of the most important days of your life!

Whether you are a simplistic girl or a glitz and glam kinda girl, planning your big day becomes part of your everyday routine until you say those life changing words “I DO”.

So what is hot for 2011? At Illusions Rentals & Designs we are seeing two distinct trends, the Vintage Bride and the Contemporary bride.

The Vintage Bride -Old has definitely become the NEW! Vintage inspired with modern elements is very trendy for 2011. Outdoor natural settings with soft color tones such as ivory, olive green and dusty pink help to create the garden, flowery, pretty feel. Couples are also embracing the vintage trend by adding parents and grandparents wedding pictures into their décor. Brides are continuing the nostalgic romantic, vintage theme by wearing their mother or grandmothers wedding dress. Vintage photography with draped cloth back drops is another trend that is becoming more popular with this look.

The Contemporary Bride- 2011 has couples steering away from the “traditional” wedding colors and introducing a splash of color with bright vibrant palettes. When you decide on your wedding, you must then choose the season. Making the choice of season will determine what color palette you will use.

The color trends for 2011 are tropical, fun and whimsical! Some of the hot colors are apple green, mauve, lilac, hot pink, slate grey, celadon, aged gold, coral, red, violet purple and mocha.

Rather than the traditional round, 10-top table, couples are now opting to mix table shapes and sizes infusing a fun atmosphere. Lounge areas are another trend that is rapidly evolving; warm bold tones are incorporated to create a relaxed, comfortable feel.

Our creativity, vast inventory and ability to custom make specialty linen allows Illusions Rentals and Flair Floral to honor our “one stop shop” philosophy and make your vision a reality. Call us today to set up your appointment!
