The Hamptons is the diamond of wedding destinations. There is nowhere else this side of the country that evokes romance better than the picturesque East End can. Rich in history and spellbinding waterfront, Hamptons wedding venues offer a coastal elegance vibe perfect for the chic bride. For those who are planning their dream wedding, here are some of 2016 wedding trends that would go well with a Hamptons wedding. Lighting Good lighting is essential to setting up the perfect romantic mood. Achieving a soft glow to make a dreamy ambience is a rising trend that would suit a Hamptons wedding. The use of soft lights like pendant lights with Edison bulbs, string lights, chandeliers, or candles in fancy candelabras would look perfect on a wedding by the shore or in a rustic Hamptons farmhouse. Yes rustic is still a strong trend for 2016! Flowers Having a natural feel is becoming a thing in weddingland. Gone are the days when perfectly cut and arranged flowers is the way to go. Now, brides and grooms are into the freshly plucked wild look when it comes to flower arrangements. Wildflowers accented with fruiting vines are hot in 2016. Expect to see simple arrangements like free-form bouquets in more weddings. Flowers may also be left out of centerpieces altogether this year. Instead, potted plants especially succulents and herbs could be used. The fresh aroma of herbs such as lavenders or mints will add to the enchanting mood. Small trinkets or things important to the couple may also grace the tables instead of plants. Book-loving couples may also opt to decorate the tables with their favorite books. Palette Weddings this year will truly glitter with the use of adaptable colors of metal. The bride can take her pick from fancy gold to sleek copper for a sparkling wedding. The popularity of silver and platinum that we have seen in recent years though has died down. Metallic touches such as glittering table covers and shiny centerpieces add a glow and timelessness to an outdoor black-tie event. The metallic trend embodies the whimsy and elegance of a Hamptons wedding. There are hundred different ways that metallic shades can be incorporated in a wedding. Brides may consider bronze-dipped flowers and centerpieces with metal containers and copper-accented vintage plates. How about some gold dust on a gorgeous wedding cake? Have fun adopting these wedding trends for 2016 that would perfectly suit Hamptons wedding venues.
