Personalized Design

When it comes to designing your wedding, there’s really no “one size fits all” approach. In fact, we think some of the best weddings are the ones packed with personality, creativity, and authentic details that tell a story about the couple.

Colored Wedding Dress

Long white dresses look inherently bridal, but it’s the year of bold & bright colors. With so many different hues available, brides are opting for colors like blues, ivory, beige and even black and red. Many international bridal couture designers are reportedly crafting colored masterpieces and say that the demand for colored wedding dress has recently increased.

Wedding Traditions That Are Out

1.

Toss out the Bouquet Toss

The time-old tradition of tossing flowers into the air has disappeared in thin air for 2022. But if you somehow still want to incorporate this idea, we say, give it a modern twist! Instead, offer up your wedding blooms to the couple in the room who has been married the longest.

First Look

In ancient times, parents used to fix the marriage and bride & groom were not allowed to see each other until the wedding day. Can you believe it? No? But it’s true! And hence the idea of ‘first look’ came into the picture, so that they can’t back out. Modern weddings have no such limitations and hence the need of doing a first look is also not there.

Flower Girl & Ring Bearer

One more old tradition that’s going out is the idea of a flower girl and ring bearer. Traditionally, it is considered as a symbol of fertility and prosperity in a couple’s life. With couples opting for elopements and micro weddings in 2022, the concept of flower girl + ring bearer is gradually disappearing.
