All it takes is a scroll through Pinterest to see all of the hot wedding trends that are gracing aisles and guest tables this year. Trends can add a lovely touch to any wedding; however, there is a fine line between being trendy and going overboard. One word that comes up often in consultations is the desire for a timeless<\/em> wedding \u2014\u00a0couples want to be able to look back at their wedding photos in ten years without shuddering at images of dated d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

Luckily, a refined eye for design can incorporate trendy pieces into an event while still maintaining a classic look that will live on for years to come. Here are some ways to embrace trends with moderation.<\/p>\n

Think outside the box<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One way to get creative is to seek inspiration from unexpected places. It\u2019s time to switch lenses and start looking beyond wedding magazines. I get inspiration through traveling, whether it\u2019s the bold color of a door or the sweet scent of a bakery. Stop in design stores for a browse, peruse museums, pour through magazines \u2014 you get the gist. Clothing, accessories, home d\u00e9cor, and other design-centric industries usually translate pretty well into wedding inspiration.<\/p>\n

Pinterest is not<\/em> out of fashion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s right. Forget what the naysayers have to say, Pinterest is still a reliable resource for wedding and event design. It also helps you to identify what you don\u2019t<\/em> like, which is helpful for your planner. You can easily browse color palettes, invitation design, and other details that come together to make a wedding your own. Have a keen eye and work closely with your planner to use your Pinterest board to define your style.<\/p>\n
