2010 Wedding Trends - From This Year's Wedding Salon


Thank you to the Brides and Grooms that participated in the SouthAsianSource.com Giveaway for the 2010 Wedding Salon tickets. It was a great show, and below are some of the latest trends that we would like to share with you:

Brides are always looking to stay ahead of the trends and discover the ways to add a celebrity touch to their weddings.  We were thrilled to have some of the biggest names in the industry showcase the trends that will be all the rage in the months to come,” says Wedding Salon Founder and renowned Celebrity Event Planner, Tatiana Byron. 

Big is Back this Season with over-the-top towering table displays created with branches, moss and garlands of orchids. The Wedding Salon was lit up with 15 ft high Inflatable Bouquets of Roses and Sky-High Cherry Blossom Branches. Cascading chandelier table tops dripping with crystal, proved that height will be the biggest trend for Summer 2010. 

Another key trend seen at The Wedding Salon was Candles, Crystals and the combination of the two. Elaborate and Simple table displays alike were accented by numerous tea-light votives, hanging candles and floating candles while crystals lit up the dance floor. As for colors? The common thread at The Wedding Salon was earth-based tones of Greens and Browns on chiffon table linens and napkins, accented with Gold Charger Plates and Goblets.

Closing out The Wedding Salon and Bridal Market were renowned designers, Ines Di Santo, David Tutera by Faviana, Marina K Couture and Stephen Yearick with a couture bridal fashion show produced by Bridal Reflections. This fashion show gave New York brides a never-before seen look at the hottest gowns for Fall 2010. Ines Di Santo showed that the biggest trend for Fall will be the ultra-feminine gown. Complete with floral embellishments, voluminous ball gowns and flirty silhouettes, Ines encourages each bride to embrace her femininity on her big day.

Other new trends that were seen at The Wedding Salon include monograms and engraving on rose petals and amazing fashion for men.  Showing that “Even the Groom Gets Married Too,” Bonobos showcased their custom tuxedos, signature inner linings and colorful unique vintage prints.

·         The One-Shoulder Gown – Gone are the days when every bride wore sweetheart and strapless gowns. For Summer & Fall of 2010, brides will embrace asymmetrical bust lines and Grecian-Inspired one-shoulder gowns.
·         The Blueprint Cleanse – Celebrities are not the only ones embracing a healthy detox. The Blueprint Cleanse is the first nutritional cleanse offering different levels of intensity depending on one’s dietary habits and history.  Brides-to-be are looking to the Blueprint Cleanse to not only normalize pre-wedding weight,  also to clear skin, increase energy and boost the immune system!
·         A Relaxed Bride is a Beautiful Bride – Celebrities are always ahead on the trends in terms of relaxation techniques.  Tatiana recommends Serenity Zen Beverage to brides as the perfect calming relaxation drink designed to take the edge off and relieve the stress on a brides big day!  With Zero Carbs, Zero Calories, this sugar-free drink has the taste, but won’t cause any pre-wedding weight gain.
