Popular shopping site Etsy has now launched a full-blown weddings hub with blog posts, real-life wedding stories, and a gift registry! Huffington Post Weddings recently got a preview of the latest Etsy wedding trends, here they are:
1) Think Outside the Floral Bouquet Box: Consider using fabric, paper, jewels and other materials instead of real flowers to make bouquets. Unlike flowers, these non-floral materials won't wilt, giving you a lifetime keepsake.
2) Interactive Save-the-Dates: Instead of simply informing your guests of your wedding date, get them involved! Consider things like scratch-off cards to reveal the date.
3) Moving Away From White: Adam Brown, a public relations manager with Etsy, says, "Dresses that aren't just white are trending." Consider pinks, blushes, and muted colors. You may even want to wear a pantsuit instead of a dress!
4) Here Comes the Bride: Instead of having your flower girls carry flowers, have them carry "Here comes the bride!" signs.
5) Personalized Bridesmaid Gifts: The standard pair of matching earrings gift is out! Consider giving your bridesmaids gifts like a picture of the two of you or customized lockets with a small surprise inside.
6) New Shoe Clips, Not New Shoes: If you don't want your bridesmaids to worry about buying new shoes, just spruce up the shoes they have with matching flower clip-ons. This will bring the shoes together while avoiding unwanted costs at the same time!
7) Speaking of Shoes, Bridal Booties Exist: Instead of the regular heel, consider lace booties like these from Kristen Ashley.
8) The Ring: Designers are beginning to move towards more contemporary ring designs than antique ones, especially since the debut of Kate Middleton's sapphire ring. You can find a nice selection here: Etsy Engagement Rings.
9) Don't Forget to Thank the Groomsmen: Flower boutonnieres are out! Instead of the floral designs, consider things like a guitar pick for the musician in the group or a tiny paint brush for the artist.
