Hi, I'm Brooke and I am the new intern here at ForeScene Events. I am so excited to be taking over the blog for a little while and giving all of you a “Brooke’s Eye View”!
So you know a little about me, I am a senior at Southeastern studying Family and Consumer Sciences, and I have aspirations to be a wedding planner after graduation. I love planning, and I love to pay attention to the details. Sometimes the seemingly smallest detail is what makes the biggest impact on a person.
I am creative, and sometimes I like to do things outside of the box. I am quirky, and for the lack of a better word, unique. There are many wedding trends and traditions that I love, but I also love some of the new trends and traditions that have been making their way onto the scene as of recently. Here is my countdown of the top 3 favorite new wedding trends!
1 – Having kid friendly activities at the reception.
As everyone knows, kids get bored very easily. They like to have something to do. If you are having a lengthy reception, consider having an activity table for the children that will be in attendance. There are a lot of free printable wedding themed coloring sheets available online, as well as many other options to choose from. Some other examples I have seen lately are wedding bingo cards, interview questions for them to ask the bride, groom, and members of the bridal party, and even something as simple as putting paper over a table with buckets of crayons for them to color on.
2 – Outdoor door photos.
I am in love with these two pictures! We have all seen the traditional behind the door photo, but I love how they added a fun element by using vintage props and incorporated their bridal party into some of the intimate moments. I also love how the outdoors gives it a more rustic and vintage feel, and I think it perfectly captures the personalities of the bride and groom.
3 - My number one new trend is having your grandmothers be the flower girls!
While this trend is super non-traditional, I think adding unique elements into your wedding makes the day even more special. But, with that being said, I LOVE it! They are having so much fun, and you can tell that they are overwhelmed with joy that they were asked to be part of the couple's special day. While this may not be an option for everyone, it is such a cute idea. Even if you had a special little girl in mind, you could have her lead the way for the grandmothers, whether with a cute sign or her own basket of flowers. I just can't express how much I love this idea, and it will be in my wedding some day.
I hope you have all enjoyed getting to know me a little bit better, and I look forward to sharing many more stories and pictures with all of you! What are some of your favorite wedding trends or traditions?
