Eat, Drink, and Be Married…Trends 2009 Continued

Welcome back from a chilly weekend. I guess winter is here to stay!

To continue down the road of 2009 trends here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Dinner Arrangements

Sit down dinners are a thing of the past. Many brides and grooms are incorporating food stations instead of a traditional dinner. This gives guests the opportunity to mingle a bit and enjoy the foods they love. One idea is to have various food stations representing either your ethnic backgrounds as a couple or favorite restaurants you dinned at while celebrating special occasions. The “Progressive Wedding” idea is growing in trend. The idea is to have different stations from different countries for every course. From appetizers to desserts guests will be able to find a true treat that will make their taste buds water!

Specialty drinks are still trendy when it comes to the drink menu. Many brides and grooms are incorporating drinks that match the color of their color palette.

Themed Weddings

More and more brides and grooms are coming up with creative ways to make their event stand out from their best friends shindig last month. Think of your favorite rock band group, favorite book, or favorite movie and tie in small details that will create the theme throughout. You can even personalize the dinner menu that will appeal more towards the theme of your special day. From the color of your bridesmaid’s dresses to the centerpieces and place card settings, everyone has a unique story or idea they can somehow incorporate.
