With all the details that go in to planning a wedding, it's no surprise that the trends surrounding the ceremonies, dresses, flowers, and centerpieces are getting revamped every year. With more and more couples tying the knot and getting creative this year, there's no shortage of great trends to keep our eyes on.

Your guests (and wallet) will be happy about this one! More couples this year are opting to stay in one location for the vows and post-party fun. No need to get back in the car and navigate to where the reception is being held. Also, the bridal party will love not having to be shuffled around, making things like photo shoots much more convenient. With venues like hotels, clubs, and banquet halls, there's no shortage of indoor or outdoor options. These places often have beautifully manicured grounds, so a ceremony outside can also be possible if the weather cooperates.
Detailed Backless Dresses
One aspect of the wedding dress that should never be overlooked is the back. While the bride is standing at the altar all eyes are on this portion of her dress-think of all the photos taken during this portion of the ceremony! It might just be the inspiration behind so many brides forgoing the strapless look and focusing on the backless one. With beautiful lace detailing, hand beading, and sheer fabrics, this look is easily achieved and breathes new life into the bridal silhouette.

Get ready to see warm autumn hues paired with airy sea shades this year as nontraditional colors take center stage. Wedding themes are drawing upon vintage inspiration and odd color combinations, so expect to see colors like tangerine and sea foam green; peach and celery; or even marigold and plum. My brother and his fiancé are actually considering poppy-red and mint-green! The whole color palette reads like an Instagram album and gives the wedding party a retro feel.
The Rustic Themed Wedding
While classic black-tie weddings will never go out of style, one trend that's giving it a run for its money is the rustic wedding. With many more couples going the DIY route than ever before, it's not hard to see why the rustic wedding is so appealing. Complete with wildflowers, outdoor themes, barn reception halls, and pastoral centerpieces, this trend blends heartfelt romance with natural elegance. And the best part is you can really showcase who you are as a couple and save a lot of money on things you don't really care about or need. Get the whole bridal party involved in making handmade décor!

Flower Girls & Ring Bearers
These little cuties are being given bigger roles and getting more attention then ever before. Ring bearers have been spotted coming down the aisle holding signs reading, " Here comes the bride! " Another innovative idea is to have the little pair stand in the foreground holding a large photo frame with the happy couple kissing in the background-simply adorable!

Say Cheese!
Last year was all about the photo booths and this trend is holding on strong this year too. In addition,pre-ceremony photo s have been popping up all over various wedding sites. But here's the catch: most couples want to stay traditional and avoid seeing each other before the ceremony, so the trick will be to stay out of sight. I've seen photos where the couple is blindfolded together, hiding around the corner from one another, or laughing on opposite sides of a door. What a fun thing to do before walking down the aisle!
