Wedding cake avaIf you’re planning a wedding this year, you should know about the most useful wedding fashion trends of 2018. Don’t let your malevolent guests – and they can be found almost at every wedding – make fun of you. Be a perfect bride on a perfect wedding. This year brought us some very interesting and rewarding trends in bouquets and invitations designing, cake ideas, wedding gown adornments, and food serving concepts.


Every year, the wedding industry comes up with ways to make each wedding an experience, not just an event. Modern-day brides and grooms are personalizing their special day to reflect who they are as a couple. And in 2018, there are certainly some new trends on the horizon but also a few classics that are just here to stay. If you're a lover of colorful stationary and intricate cake designs, this just might be the most epic year yet to tie the knot. Here are the wedding trends to watch for in 2018.


Locally sourced flowers

Recent floral trends have focused on show-stopping blooms, like garden roses, peonies, and ranunculus flowers. But 2018 will see brides carrying flowers from closer to home – opting for locally grown flowers is a highlight for those eco-friendly couples. And budget-conscious brides will appreciate that in-season flowers typically cost less than out-of-season one's.


Messy bouquets

If you hop onto Pinterest or any wedding website, you'll see that overflowing cascading bouquets were incredibly popular in 2017. And this is one trend that's not going anywhere. Lush bouquets that include both flowers and textured greenery will reign in 2018, too. But since they're such a showstopper, be sure to work with your florist so that your messy bouquet won't clash with or snag on your wedding gown.


Informal invites

Gone are the days when a wedding invitation needed to be formal, minimalist, and stuffy. Now, the only rule is that there are no rules. Repurposed materials, watercolor illustrations, colorful letterpress, even paperless invites – anything goes when it comes to invitations. So, feel free to get playful.


A weekend itinerary

Whether you're getting married in your old hometown or holding a destination wedding, guests who are traveling to attend your celebration, will appreciate some guidance about what to do when they get there, apart from the basics, of course. A list of local attractions, restaurants, bars, and other nearby points of interest should be part of the package or even part of your invitation. Including an itinerary for your wedding weekend can help set the tone for an exciting getaway that your guests will look forward to.


It's all about the buttercream

Traditionally, wedding cakes have been made with fondant, a solid durable paste that makes a great base for intricate design and decoration. Though, while fondant can be beautiful, many people don't love the taste. Enter buttercream, which is soft, creamy, and delicious. With formal cakes losing popularity, the natural softer look of buttercream, often with flower garnishes, is on the rise. But if you still want fondant, don't be discouraged. You can always jazz up the inside of your cake with a unique unexpected flavor.


Cakes are going boho

Classic cakes in pure white are so 10-years-ago. In 2018, the on-trend wedding cake will be all about patterns and designs: lacework, chevron… If bohemian details are part of your overall wedding design, they'll look great on your cake. And you don't have to go big anymore either. A small, beautifully decorated cake for the couple will look great in photos, while a corresponding sheet cake in the same flavors will keep your guests fed and happy.


Dresses with details

From capes to crepe to just one cap sleeve. Gowns in the coming year will be all about attention-grabbing details. A one-shoulder design creates a unique contemporary twist on a traditional look, while unusual materials – like crepe – give you texture and movement. And yes, capes are making a big comeback in 2018. So, if you're thinking of a winter wedding, it's one daring way to cover your shoulders.


Specialty foods

Traditional dinners are still on the menu in 2018, but trend-conscious couples will personalize their reception with food stations that showcase their particular tastes. From gourmet doughnuts to customized grilled cheese sandwiches to… well, enormous cookies. These popular additions to your wedding menu will give the whole event a flavor that's truly you.


Say goodbye to buffets

While the wedding buffet is a fun, casual, and cost-saving option, formal plated dinners are coming back strong in 2018. If the rest of the wedding trends this year are about pushing boundaries and breaking rules, this is the one place you can't go wrong with timeless traditional elegance. So, if it's within your means, wow your guests with table service – and cut costs elsewhere, with farmhouse style seating and simple China that puts all the focus on the food.
