The hoop, officially one of the year’s biggest wedding trends. Not only that, floral hoops are even making an appearance as boho home decor and garden party decorations – use artificial flowers and you’ve got a cute indoor wreath to hang from the wall.
As reported last month in the national news, artificial flowers are seeing a comeback. John Lewis has seen a huge surge in sales of artificial blooms while a rising number of high-end independent florists and interior designers are now advocating beautiful faux floral creations.
More and more couples are tossing the rulebook when selecting the date for their wedding day. Ceremonies are no longer confined to weekends and while summer remains peak season, a growing number of brides and grooms are opting to wed over the colder months instead. In fact, statistics have shown that there was a 69% increase in winter weddings between 2013 – 2014 and this figure has been rising in thousands ever since.
William and Kate were wed way back in 2011 but as proven by industry sales since then, royal weddings really do set trends for a long time after the big event. Experts at Bridebook shared the stats, “Ever since Kate and William’s wedding, lace has dominated wedding dresses in the UK, with 45% of UK brides wearing lace on their big day in 2017 and only 16% wearing satin or silk. Just as with Kate’s influence, we are sure to see Meghan’s dress completely transform the wedding dress styles for many years to come.”
