Trends, Bridesmaid Dresses & Inviting Guests 4 Weeks Out: Audience Q&A
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When we started Cut The Cake, we wanted to give couples a platform to ask anything and everything they were going through in their wedding planning process. This month we have had some great questions sent our way!
Questions like, what styling trends are hot this wedding season? Are mix and match bridesmaids dresses still a thing? How do I find good wedding vendors? And even some curly questions like can I invite guests 4 weeks out from my wedding date and should you invite people to your hens if they aren’t invited to your wedding? Get ready for some honest answers. Here we go!
Key Takeaways:
- Mix and match bridesmaid dresses are a popular trend, allowing bridesmaids to feel comfortable and express their individual style.
- When searching for wedding vendors in your local area, utilize Google, business directories, Facebook groups, and recommendations from your venue. Read reviews and testimonials to ensure you choose vendors who are the right fit for you.
- Current wedding trends include the use of ribbons for various decorative elements, pops of color in soft shades, incorporation of pearls and metallics, and a shift away from neutral color palettes.
- Wedding invitations should ideally be sent out earlier than four weeks before the wedding to allow guests enough time to make arrangements and RSVP.
- Including additional guests at the hens or bucks party who may not be able to attend the wedding can be a thoughtful way to celebrate with a wider circle of friends and colleagues.
