Sheer layers and peekaboo accents are popping up everywhere. Both are wonderful options for table linen layering. A wonderful effect that will make sheer layers more dramatic is with theatrical lighting.
Not into pinks and lavenders like some of your girlfriends? What about mixing gold and/or silver with black? Black may seem an ominous choice for a wedding, but when combined with metalics you add reflective surfaces for light to bounce off. Chargers, centerpieces, and favors all add to the drama. Add a splash of candle or theatrical light and you have a dazzeling event that not only will be glamorous and memorable it will help you express your more edgy rockin' style.
Eu naturale has been upgraded to hippie chic with fringe and soft femine spring colors. Again, fringe is a wonderful way to add movement and texture. Table skirts and centerpieces in shades of lilac and teal will be seasonal without feeling like Easter.
We've discussed the trend toward vivid color before. This trend is continuing and expanding. Borderline neon shades of green, orange, yellow and pink. Chartreuse, electric blue and tomato red. Ultrabright hues and explosions of color are a to work dramatic color into your special day. Flowers are, of course, the most natural choice, but why not pick one or two vivid colors for your table linens and then go with shades of white for your flowers? Summer screams for color. This would be particularly dramatic for an outdoor wedding with verdant lawns and trees providing a lovely green backdrop for pinks, oranges, yellows and blues to pop!
Floral prints, both oversized and tiny are back. I didn't think the day would come, but these prints are splashy and abstract and, again, in the vivid colors of spring. Think about Monet gone punk. Punk flowers? Why not??!! White and red peonies with splashes of vivid yellow callas or spiky dahlias.
The wedding industry is great about the decorative touches, feathers, beads, and all things sequin and glitter have never gone out of style. Now they are going mainstream. When used in moderation they can add texture and flair to your event.

Ethnic prints and safari colors are also back in fashion. This trend is not just for multicultural weddings or destination honeymoons. Think of the romantic edge that mosquito netting or draped saris can add. Gauzey fabrics worked together with ethnic prints can make a dramatic statement and express your personal style. (Take a look at Asian or Southasian weddings, there is an amazing amount of color and pattern layered together to make a very dramatic end product.)
