2014 Wedding Trends

Oh May... the month when all things beautiful come back to life and also the month that sets off the wedding season! A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to attend Wedding Bells & Mariage Quebec's special breakfast presentation in Montreal, where, surrounded by local florists and wedding vendors alike, we learned about the most popular trends of 2014, which I will be showing you my favourites below.

You will notice that this year, all things bridal have gone back to basics. Cakes are un-iced, bouquets are organic, brides sport natural make-up and flowers in their hair and there's even a touch of a bohemian vibe in the air. The 2014 wedding trends definitely celebrate the beauty of nature in its most authentic form.
I must say, I LIKE!
But when looking at these photos, don't think: "Oh gosh I need to follow all these trends to have a cool wedding!" Not at all! You wedding is YOUR DAY, and it must be a reflection of who you are as a couple. Follow your heart and fall in love with every decision you take; whether you are choosing your cake design or your groom's sock color. Trends are there to guide and inspire you, so have fun with it.

Let me know in the comments below which of these wedding trends are your favourite and which one(s) you would like to see at your wedding.
