My favourite wedding trends for 2017

With my own wedding in the planning process for this year, poring over beautiful imagery and trends on Pinterest is all the more exciting! So, I’m multi-tasking on this post, it’s both work research ;) and wedding planning as I bring you my favourite trends for 2017.

Greenery


Starting with the Pantone colour of the year - Greenery, we’re going to see lots of lush leafy details such as gorgeous garlands and foliage style centrepieces. Green is nature’s neutral and the perfect accent to an opulent setting. 

 

 

Industrial

I absolutely adore the industrial look, and the homeware elements of copper and marble have now made their way into weddings. This would work really well in a cool and edgy city venue with brick or concrete walls. Organic greenery and succulents are your friend here too!

 

Watercolour

Anyone who has seen my stationery designs knows how much I love incorporating watercolours - they are whimsical and romantic, and are a wonderful way to add dreamy pops of colour. View samples here.

Boho

If going the traditional wedding route simply isn’t for you, and you are more drawn to a natural boho vibe, there is so much beautiful inspiration out there on how to style your day while staying true to you. I am personally so drawn to the freedom and adventure the boho aesthetic evokes.

 

Woodland

Granted our unpredictable Irish weather could make a woodland wedding a little tricky, but with ample planning, this perfectly suits the outdoorsy couple who are planning a more intimate wedding or elopement. I can’t think of anything more romantic than exchanging your vows in a stunning forest setting. 

 

If you are planning a wedding incorporating any of the above aesthetics, they are on my bucket list to photograph, so make sure to get in touch for a really great deal!

I will certainly be incorporating some of these elements for my own nuptials this year!

A & A // The Millhouse

Aimee & Alan's beautiful wedding day took place at the gorgeous setting of The Millhouse in Slane in late July. They were blessed with a beautiful day surrounded by family and friends, most importantly, their little son Daniel! Aimee chose a stunning tossed tulle Vera Wang dress, and had a gorgeous bouquet with peonies and anemones. The flowers were also tied into the wedding cake, made by Aimee's talented mum! The charm of the Millhouse mixed with Aimee's stylish choices made for a rustic and elegant day.

Aimee says:

Claire thank you so much for our amazing wedding photos, you captured the whole day beautifully and didn't miss a single shot. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, we honestly couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
