If you’ve even glanced at Pinterest, it’s hard not to notice the rustic, vintage style that’s sweeping wedding trends.

Color Schemes: What really gives the wedding a vintage feel is the color scheme and flowers. The way to achieve this in the spring and summer is with faded pastels, a variety of white shades, and lots of natural colors used through leaves and wood. In the fall and winter, try darker jewel tones like maroon and emerald with accents of rose gold. No matter when the wedding is, have fun with colors and choose more than just one accent color.

Wedding Cakes: Gone are the days of dramatic wedding cakes and multiple fondant accents. Wedding cakes in 2016 are all about simplicity with a rustic feel. The trend we love most is unfrosted cakes! These are then decorated with flowers and or fruit, and without the hours of intense labor, they are just as beautiful. Another trend is brush strokes of water-colors on fondant using edible paint. It creates an effortless yet whimsical feel that’s one of a kind.

Trends in Photography: Depending on the wedding traditions you want on your big day, many brides are opting out of saving the ‘first-look’ for the ceremony. Having a photographer capture the soon-to-be husband’s fist look at the beautiful bride is such a candid and heartfelt shot – this trend also allows for the majority of the photos to be taken before the ceremony starts. After the ceremony, a timeless photo is when the bride and groom take their first steps together as husband and wife. Depending on the venue and time, think about having the guests toss confetti, rice or even holding sparklers if it is a night setting, the interaction between the couple, and the friends and family, is not one to be missed.

Calligraphy: Just like trends of dresses and color schemes, there is now a style trend of fonts. Whether it’s your invitations, seating chart, or dessert menu, calligraphy is now playing a huge part in weddings. It is an art form that can tie your whole wedding theme together. If you love the vintage feel, stick to cursive and flowing letters. Or, if the theme is along the lines of glamour such as ‘the Great Gatsby’ having an art deco font is a great way to add more keen detail to your wedding.
