Each decade brings with it new trends and traditions related to weddings. Over the past few years weddings have become more one-of-a-kind and are breaking the mold of what was once considered to be age-old traditions.
Technology has played a major role in the transformation of today's brides and grooms and as a wedding planner, it's your duty to stay on top of trends and new traditions to help create a unique event that is tailored specifically for each one of your diverse clientele.
For starters, Bridal couples now use the internet to gather ideas, inspiration, and information on wedding planning. They typically will no longer rely on bridal magazines or the telephone book for locating local vendors or learning about new trends. This means you must make a presence on the internet whether it's through your website, or even a blog that offers brides free information on what's going on in the industry. When they establish your authority and wedding expertise, they will be more willing to choose you as the person to turn their wedding dreams into reality.
Bridal couples are opting for more unique and non-traditional details and themes. More couples are combining different cultural traditions, color combinations, and food and drink options that would never have been used 25 to 50 years ago. The need and desire to be unique and different will allow you to expand your creative side and have fun doing things you may have never done before.
Many couples are also opting for Green Wedding Options. Many brides and grooms have become more environmentally conscious and want to use decor, favors, or venues that are beneficial to the environment. It will be best to research local Green Wedding practices so you can offer ideas and advice for couples who need inspiration for holding a planet friendly wedding.
Also browse through monthly wedding magazines, high-profile wedding planning blogs, or even attend local seminars that detail the new trends and traditions that will be brought up over the next few years. Brides today expect you to be knowledgeable, flexible, and understanding in the desire to be unique and socially & environmentally conscious. Stay on top of these trends and ideas and be ready and willing to share them with your bridal couple.
