2013’s Hottest Wedding Trends

This year’s hottest wedding trends range from ultra sophisticated and elegant to minimalist and green. Ultimately, what the bride and groom choose for their special day is really a matter of personal taste. Here are some of this year’s most popular trends from BridalGuide.com.  Arthur Murray’s professional dance instructors of  Charlotte & Lake Norman are on top of the latest dance wedding trends.

Décor and Fashion—crystal, gold silverware, candles, chandeliers, neutral color palettes, colorful floral patterns and graphic prints, full-length gowns, plenty of lace

Flowers—peonies, garden roses, garlands

Invitations—foil-stamped metallic gold, silver, and bronze

Liquor—tequila, local wines and beer

Food—pork for a main entree, as well as food from local bakers and farmer’s markets

Cake—cakes that mimic wedding dresses with lace-like details; clean, modern look with a bow, monogram, or flower; and cakes with bursts of color and pattern

Music and Dance—live band playing alongside a DJ; choreographed bride/groom and bridal party dances

Dancing is a wonderful way to celebrate with your family and friends. No matter what type of wedding you are planning, the music and dancing you choose will set the mood for your celebration.
To get started, make a list of your favorite songs and meet with the staff at the Arthur Murray Dance Studios in Charlotte and Lake Norman, NC. They will help you choose and choreograph your wedding dances and determine a dance order for the reception.
