THESE ARE THE 8 BIGGEST BRIDAL TRENDS OF 2016 ACCORDING TO PINTEREST


Pinterest has been one of the best sources of Wedding inspiration for Brides for more than a decade, with its seemingly endless albums of styling, gowns, jewellery, recipes and etiquette – so when they tell us something’s trending, you can rest assured, it’s BIG.

This week, Pinterest released its top 8 Wedding trends by determining its best performing Wedding pins and this is what they are.

1. Unplugged Ceremonies

There has been a whopping 600% increase in Brides saving pins related to ‘unplugged ceremonies’.

4. Honeymoon Funds

For those couples who are interested in the traditional gift registries and don’t need 100 toasters and salad bowls.

5. Toss Bars

This is an interesting one! Toss bars are mini stations that guests can create their own signature mix of ‘confetti’ to throw on the Bride and Groom. It can include bowls of glitter, sequins and petals in all the colours of the rainbow.

7. Relaxed Timelines

More casual programs for the Wedding reception is becoming a popular choice, with Brides printing the schedules on palettes and chalk boards instead of the traditional thick card.

From frozen slushies to cheese cakes and everything in between, 2016 is the year of the alternative Wedding cake!
