If you aren\u2019t paying attention, wedding trends can seem to come out of left field and change without warning. One year, bling is in, the next year it\u2019s backyard chic. It may seem like mermaid dresses, swing bands, and cupcakes are suddenly replaced by tea-length dresses, string quartets, and macaroons. But if you DO pay attention, it\u2019s pretty easy to see how pop culture influences wedding trends. For example, the re-emergence of retro-chic weddings and tea length dresses was clearly preceded by the popularity of the TV show, Mad Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"This

This year, when the Golden Globe nominations came out, we made some predictions about 2011 wedding trends. Some are obvious, for example, the movie The King\u2019s Speech<\/em> (combined with a real 2011 royal wedding) will add a royal touch to a lot of this year\u2019s weddings. Social networking and technology will also continue to play a big part in weddings this year, and the economy is still a factor for most brides and grooms.<\/p>\n

But some trends may surprise you. For example, even movies that didn\u2019t do well, like Burlesque<\/em>, can have an influence on wedding entertainment. A lot of working burlesque and cabaret dancers complain that the movie, and popular acts like the Pussycat Dolls give a warped view of what cabaret or burlesque is really all about, but really they should be celebrating.<\/p>\n

Because when you combine the movie with the popularity of TV shows like Glee<\/em> and Dancing with the Stars<\/em> as well as trends like flash mob dances, it seems clear that show stopping entertainment will take center stage at weddings this year.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering how to work this trend into your wedding we\u2019ve got some ideas for you:<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you and your fianc\u00e9 are good dancers, hire a dance instructor to teach you a special number for your first dance. If either of you are uncomfortable with this idea though, don\u2019t<\/p>\n

push it. Also, make sure your wedding dress can accommodate whatever dance you plan on performing.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Guests often complain about the down time during the cocktail hour while the wedding party is off taking pictures, why not hire a dance troupe<\/a> to provide entertainment during this time?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Many DJs<\/a> have dance instructors they work with to help keep the crowd on the floor during the reception.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hire a cabaret act<\/a> or ballroom dancers to perform during dinner.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think? Will you be incorporating dancers into your wedding entertainment?<\/p>\n
