Look to fashion!By Nicole Walsh\u00a0Photo Courtesy of Fork and SpoonThis year, what\u2019s in for weddings is what\u2019s in for fashion. That means florists and wedding planners are seeing a lot of \u201cbright colors, fuchsias, purples and oranges [as opposed to] pastels,\u201d says Kim Perrone, owner of Bloom Flowers in New York. For colors, \u201cturquoise was voted the most popular,\u201d says Ryann Klein, event coordinator for North Carolina event planning company, Extravaganza Events. Bright and vibrant hues are everywhere this season. This trend is being expanded not just to include flowers and design, but in food and theme as well.Randy Adler, consultant to Atlanta-based catering company Affairs to Remember, says that this year, couples \u201care not being as conventional as they used to be.\u201d Brides, brooms and grooms are opting for more bright and fresh ingredients in their weddings, and this includes what\u2019s being served. Wedding parties are going \u201cmore casual with food,\u201d says Shaelyn Thomson, event coordinator of San Francisco\u2013based catering company Fork and Spoon Productions. Weddings are getting smaller and more intimate and so are the menus. Thomson says she\u2019s noticed \u201cfresh ingredients that are beautifully executed, like gorgeous cheese plates and fruit spreads.\u201d In other words, foods that are simple and delicious are popping up everywhere.Photo Courtesy of Fork and SpoonBrides, brooms and grooms are doing \u201cwhatever is more personal [with] a lot more comfort food,\u201d says Thomson. What does that mean for this season? Wedding menus are incorporating the different cultural backgrounds of the couple into the menu. \u201cWe\u2019re doing a wedding right now that mixes Vietnamese and Cuban [cultures].\u201dAccording to Molly Schemper, owner of Chicago\u2019s Fig Catering, \u201cpeople are thinking a lot more seasonally in terms of menus, [like] mushrooms and asparagus.\u201d These vegetables are a perfect example of what types of wedding palettes are in for this season. Not only are bright colors in, but so are neutrals that balance them. This means that in addition to the bright turquoise and purples, what are also very popular are stone colors, beiges and greens. These more neutral colors help to complement the brighter tones in your wedding palette.What kinds of flowers can help you achieve these bright tones in your wedding d\u00e9cor? Kathleen Spear, owner of Vermont\u2019s Stray Cat Flower Farm, suggests \u201chydrangea, roses, tulips, freesia and Gerber daisies.\u201d And Perrone of Bloom recommends \u201cVanda orchids [as a very] sexy flower.\u201d Orchids, Gerber daisies and roses are available year round, while hydrangeas and tulips are only in season in spring or summer.How do you plan a stylish and affordable wedding? Go small and bright this season, with smaller wedding parties, easy comfort foods and vibrant colors. "},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Wondering what\u2019s hot for weddings this season?
