Wedding Trends 2019

Wedding trends in 2019 will lean towards a more laidback and relaxed affair. Diverting from the sophisticated monochrome colour schemes; more and more weddings are now seeing pops of colours woven throughout the day, and huge banquets are being replaced with less formal buffets and ‘grazing tables’. So, we thought it would be a good time to gather together some inspiration to help plan for your big day!

 

Decorations

Bold colours are a way to make your wedding standout. You can incorporate bold colours into your flower arrangements and bouquets, as well as other decorations such as, ribbons, table or chair covers. A creative idea could be to use colourful confetti which is sure to look amazing against your white dress!

Flowers are a must! There is a huge trend for low floral decorations on the table. Using plants and flowers brings are more luxuriate feel to the wedding and reception as well as beautiful backgrounds for your photos.

The Cake

Possibly the most important part of the wedding is of course the cake. Not only is it a perfect opportunity for photos to be taken, but is often the centrepiece of the reception room, also everyone gets to eat it! All of the above reasons mean that planning your cake is of the upmost importance.

A trend highlighted by Brides Magazine is the ‘naked wedding cake’ where decoration is stripped back to the bare minimum; perhaps a couple of perfectly placed flowers or a thin layer of icing. This shows off the different layers to the cake and the delicious fillings.

Food

Brides and grooms are opting more and more for buffets and sharing platters. This helps to ease the stress of creating a three-course menu everyone will like, it is also easier to cater for a variety of dietary requirements. Grazing tables are a great idea for appetisers and finger food. Here are a few options from our finger buffet menu: luxury sandwiches, smoked salmon canapes, prawn noodle nests, chicken yakatori, cream cheese stuffed mushrooms, and much more…

Seasonal foods are something to take into consideration. Here are some ideas for 2019:

Spring: Lamb is very much in season. Check out our hot fork menu, we offer a hearty Moroccan lamb dish.

Summer: Fruit platters are a great and easy option, summer fruit includes raspberries, apricots and peaches. You can also mix these in with your desserts, why not try our seasonal fruit Pavlova.

Autumn: How about a creamy wild mushroom risotto, apple and pumpkin pies. Or you can’t beat a hearty vegetable goulash packed full of seasonal veg suitable for all attending. And, for dessert, try adding some theatre with a fun autumn activity of roasting marshmallows over a fire and making s’mores (a roasted marshmallow sandwich)!

Winter: A starter option could be seasonal veggie soups, or dishes with meat such as partridge and goose surrounded by vegetables such as parsnips, Brussels sprouts and potatoes. Our pork and cider casserole is a really popular option on our hot fork menu.

We’ve also got some further top tips to consider when choosing a menu in our Right Royal Wedding Blog.
