I know that it’s a little early to be making predictions about an upcoming year.

People usually starting making them in December or so, but I thought I’d give you a little glimpse into what I’m seeing in my clients who are getting married next year.

2009 was a year full of colour. From baby pink to deep purples and everywhere in between, but so far it looks like 2010 might bring the total opposite.

From clean and crisp whites to creamy ivories, the classic elegance of netural so far seems to be the choice of many of the discerning brides that I have had the opportunity to meet.

Kind of neat. Never a dull moment and that’s the way I like it.

One thing weddings are definitely not anymore is predictable.

And this was most wonderfully the case with Meagan and Michael’s wedding that took place this past weekend at the Steam Whistle Brewery in Downtown Toronto.

For their lovely Valentine’s Day wedding, they decided to dispense with the traditional notions of great formality and red roses.

Instead, they opted to be wed in a theme of white tropical flowers with a clean and modern twist to complement their choice of a lounge theme.

White callas and dendrobiums were water immersed in modern glass cylinders complete with floating candles and matches votives.

In the ceremony the bride and groom were flanked by tall glass vases in a similar themed encircled with candles.

Once  vows were said and done, the guests were treated to a room full of candlelight to complete the chosen furnishings of white leather lounge chairs, steel rimmed coffee tables and a blue back lit bar.
