TRENDS TOP <strong>2024</strong><br />
<strong>Wedding</strong>s<br />
By Beth Witten, Editor<br />
It may seem strange to take tips on what is<br />
trending in weddings from someone who was<br />
married almost 27 years ago. But trust me, I<br />
scour the fashion blogs, interact with couples<br />
about to say their nuptials, and occasionally<br />
serve as a planner for close friends’ children who<br />
are getting married. Additionally, we have <strong>East</strong><br />
<strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>Wedding</strong>s contributors in the industry<br />
who are always ready to share their expertise. At<br />
<strong>East</strong> <strong>Alabama</strong> <strong>Wedding</strong>s, we find sharing insight<br />
into what is relevant now, and what is on the<br />
horizon, a primary goal.<br />
FUR BABIES<br />
Bridal parties vary in size and ages and this<br />
year. They also include the couple’s four-legged<br />
fur babies. We all love our animals, and they<br />
are an integral part of our daily lives so why not<br />
include them in our most important day? Pets<br />
do look amazing in photos, but they also provide<br />
a sense of calm. Just ensure you have a plan for<br />
your pet throughout the big day!<br />

MONOCHROMATIC FLOWERS<br />
Splashes of color ruled 2023 and remain for the<br />
new season, but in a more impactful sense. Brides<br />
opt for bouquets of all white or ones with hues<br />
from the same color family. Think color wheels<br />
that fade from soft to bold hues of the same family<br />
in a bouquet. Whimsy is fun yet a column of<br />
the same shades makes an elegant and intentional<br />
statement. Jess Margeson, owner of Frou<br />
Frou, emphasizes, “Just as column dresses make<br />
a fashion statement, monochrome bouquets and<br />
arrangements make a floral statement.”<br />
