Posted by Brenda Lopez, CEO & Founder - AffluentBride.com

Bold is Beautiful AGAIN

It’s not your mother’s wedding anymore! This year’s 2009 summer wedding season represents a favorable return turn to vibrant, bold colors reminiscent of turquiose blue waters straight out of the Caribbean, to a simpler wildflower “garden variety” palate of sunny daisy yellows, mauve and sage green.

Eco-Destination Weddings on the rise

Gaining much ground in popularity are eco-friendly Destination Weddings to exotic locations such as Costa Rica, Belize, Bali, Granada – Spain, St Lucia and Capetown South Africa which now reign in as some of the TOP choices for discerning, affluent couples who wish to plan a socially conscious wedding and one that will reflect their concern over the environment amidst an absolutely breathtaking backdrop. Be sure to visit our most notable list of destination wedding planners and destination wedding photographers and photojournalists to ultimately guide you on your way to an extraordinary event!

Discerning engaged couples can also find some interesting vogue designers that cater to the more eco-conscious bride, such as Conscious Clothing with their stunning array of sustainable hemp silk couture as well as Rene Geneva Design who is not only regarded as carbon neutral in her business practice but also specializes in sustainable, fair trade wedding dresses for the bride to be.

POSH INVITATIONS take center stage

Prepare top be DAZZLED!

When it comes to selecting an upscale invitation designer, nothing sets the tone more for your luxury wedding than the 1st impression your wedding stationery resonates to your invited guests by
providing the WOW factor to capture the attention of your invited guests.

Another rising trend in regards to invitations has to do with the delivery of such. Many affluent newlyweds are now choosing to have their posh wedding invitations delivered directly to their invited guests courtesy of the engaged couple’s own hands or entrusting them to an elite courier service. Can we say oooh la la… Now that’s service!

Bring on the RING BLING!

For the summer wedding season, bridal ring bling is not only getting bigger but better. The year’s hot ticket introduces the bride to much more opulent pairings such as rare colored diamonds alongside glittering gemstones. From radiant rubys to sparkling sapphires….the sheer combinations will have you taking more than a second glance.

VINTAGE anyone?

Why not consider adding a VINTAGE TOUCH to your wedding reception with the rental of a Photo Booth, such avaiable through NYC Photobooth. This just happens to be one of the most extraordinary concepts to re-invent itself in decades, allowing Gen X and Baby Boomers to take that trip back down memory lane. ( Some further back than others I’m afraid …lol )

WEDDING EVENT ARTISTS ….your celebration as it unfolds on canvas

To evoke a unique and sophisticated touch to your celebration, consider contracting with a live event artist for your wedding to capture and preserve the memories of your wedding day event as they unfold, LIVE and on canvas. The process alone will prove to be simply fascinating for your invited guests. Wedding event artists can be found in most major cities with many open to traveling to your venue Worldwide.
