I haven't posted a blog since 2009! I cannot believe we are already 1/2 way through January....I hope this blog finds you all well and that you stay safe and healthy in 2010!
The following article rounds out the trends from 2009 (The Wedding Report) and how couples were saving money and going green. Follow the posts closely because I will be adding some ideas for keeping a wedding under $10,000.....
1. Smaller weddings with fewer guests.
2. Destination weddings or destination type weddings closer to home.
3. Accent colors on dresses and cakes with the most popular being greens and blues.
4. Increased reliance on family and friends to help plan, pay, and provide some of the services.
5. Increased use of green and echo friendly products and services
6. Simplified decorations, centerpieces and wedding invitations.
7. Increased use of online RSVP’s vs. traditional mail-in RSVPs.
8. Off-peak weddings;Mornings, Afternoons, Fridays, Sundays, October becomes the new June.
9. Buffet meals, Hors d’oeuvre, and cocktail receptions.
10. Cheesecakes, cupcakes and miniature cakes.11. All-inclusive packages.
Stay tuned for cool ideas for 2010!!!!!!
xoxo, Jen
