However, that aside, it gets me thinking of some of the latest trends towards colors and design ideas for both weddings, social and corporate events.
I have found a rather interesting array of colors to be popular this Fall and Winter. Take a look and I will offer insight to each for you.
Purples are huge this season especially with both candles and linen options. Now remember, I'm not speaking of Lavender, but more over real violets or purples.
Harvest orange is being seen in a lot of accent work with both florals as well as center pieces. Think cornucopias without doing the obvious.
One of the biggest trends that remains strong is our eco-friendly wedding.
In 2011, we’ll continue to see more green, environmentally friendly weddings. Think second-hand and vintage wedding dresses.
LED lighting, ( which we use all of the time)
recycled paper invitations and programs:
Catering is often done with local farms providing fresh items to the caterer. Farm raised and grown always tastes so much better. Heirloom tomato bisques, Pulled pork BBQ canape on a corn bread round, and the list just goes on and on.
Charity donations will continue to be a popular option instead of traditional wedding favors, and more couples will be asking for donations to their favorite charity instead of wedding gifts.
The Modern Wedding:
With both our wedding divisions making huge plays for this during this season, I thought I would share a few thoughts on some of the things that are happening.
This trend will continue through décor, as well, with couples steering away from the customary 10-person round table and opting to mix table shapes and sizes. The use of farm tables as well as squares and rounds is something we are using often.
cool lounge settings,
One of the largest trends we are seeing with our modern brides is setting up after parties for everyone. This is especially true with destination weddings. No one wants the party to end. WE are finding that the couples are often reserving VIP rooms and sections in lounges and nightclubs and keeping the party going all night long.
Another fun option for the modern bride is that they are letting their brides maids choose their own style dresses to wear as long as it keeps with the color scheme. This is not the norm. However, it certainly is cool!
Social Media: We hear about it in our daily lives. This is something bigger than facebook or twitter. Brides are creating their own wedding website that they can update daily and keep their guests involved step by step. Guests love reading how the planning is coming along. There are tons of resources out there to do just that.

3 Modern choices
Our brides are opting for non-traditional dress choices, such as: beautiful hues instead of the usual white or ivory; old shoulder instead of strapless; and short cocktail dresses (the little white dress) instead of a long gown. 
This trend will continue through décor, as well, with couples steering away from the customary 10-person round table and opting to mix table shapes and sizes. The use of farm tables as well as squares and rounds is something we are using often.
