Balmoral 2019 Trends!

Take a look at all the great trends we have been apart of throughout 2019! We loved seeing all the creativity and personal touches each Balmoral Bride incorporated throughout their day! These are just a few trends we saw from 2019 brides.

1. Romantic & Soft Florals

2019 was the year full of soft and light floral designs. Instead of loud and bold florals Balmoral brides opted for a more calm and romantic feel. These florals add a vintage traditional feel to their big day.

2. Ornate Wedding Alters

The alter is where the marriage begins! Creating a beautiful space to exchange vows and to become one is a must! Not to mention all the elegant pictures that will be taken. Each bride has the perfect backdrop in mind, whether it be on a grand deck, in an elegant estate, or a scenic pergola.

4. Meaningful Watercolor Table Numbers

Watercolors have been a huge part of 2019 and we expect them to be apart of 2020! This couple used significant locations throughout their relationship. Each table had a beautiful watercolor table number for guests to enjoy.

5. Suits

This years trend with groomsmen included blue suits. They added in an extra pop as they walked down the aisle. These suits were the perfect fit for an outdoor ceremony. The 2019 groomsmen went for a more classy look choosing suits over tuxedos.

6. Sweet Sweet Treats!

2019 brought many donuts and bundt cakes to The Balmoral House and we loved it! Balmoral Brides chose to treat their guest to their favorite dessert instead of a classic wedding cake.

8. Favors

While we have seen a decrease in wedding favors this year, we have also seen unique and sentimental favors done in different ways. Below is a cute little bag of tulip bulbs for guests to plant. This allows guests to remember the wedding in the spring as they watch the love grow into beautiful tulips. The next picture shows the love for chocolate as each guest got to enjoy a pre dinner treat! This bride chose to give chocolates as favors during cocktail hour. These chocolates favors also acted as a seating chart for guests to find their seat! It doesn't matter when you give guests their favors so play around with it and create a personal touch with favors!

9. Guest Book

The guest book has significantly changed from the old traditional style to a different way to remember the ones they love. Many Balmoral Brides have opted for different guest books by signing hearts, guest writing personal notes, signing wall art and much more. Many of these options allow the couple to remember their loved ones who came to their wedding as it can hang on their wall.

10. Greenery

Lastly, Greenery! We have seen a lot of greenery this year and this won't change for 2020! Greenery is the perfect addition to a wedding day. Bringing a more natural look to such a beautiful day! Brides can put a simple touch of greenery in their own way, as greenery comes in all different styles.
