They say that if you wait long enough, everything comes back into style. This is even true of weddings, although thankfully we have not yet seen the re-emergence of puffy sleeves! Read on to learn which old wedding trends have come back into style – who knows, you may even want to use them in your own wedding.
The fashion of bridal gowns goes in cycles just like any other type of fashion. A few years ago, most of the high end gowns were streamlined, minimalist creations made from fabrics like silk mikado or satin. These days, brides are looking for gowns that are not so austere, and one of the biggest trends to re-emerge is the tulle skirt. Tulle skirts, which were incredibly popular for years, fell by the wayside as being too "bridey", and there came a point where they were considered to be a bit tacky. Not anymore; these days all of the top designers are offering tulle skirts for their brides, so if you always loved the lighter-than-air look of tulle, you are in luck.
There is another bridal gown trend that has come back into vogue recently, which is less sparkle and more fabric details. Although there are certainly still plenty of ballgowns with heavy silver embroidery and rhinestones, wedding gowns are moving away from that aesthetic. Designers are working more with details such as ruffles, fabric flowers, and pleating to make a statement. A good complement to the softer feeling of the bridal gowns is lustrous pearl bridal jewelry. You can choose from pearl bridal jewelry that is classic or contemporary, depending on the cut of your gown.
Another wedding trend that has been coming back around is the buttercream wedding cake. After years of smooth as glass fondant, brides are going back back traditional buttercream frosting, which actually looks like, well, frosting. Buttercream is also much more delicious than fondant, and less expensive to boot. The classic buttercream wedding cake looks perfect topped off with beautiful fresh flowers or even a vintage bride and groom cake topper.
When it comes to weddings, even table shapes can go in and out of fashion. The round tables for 8-10 guests have fallen from favor recently. The new "it" table is the old fashioned long rectangular table. Of course, not everything has gone back to the way it used to be; today's rectangular tables are likely to be decorated with very different centerpieces than in the past. Try a combination of alternating high and low floral arrangements to keep the look of your reception tables fresh and interesting.
Wedding favors also go through cycles of popularity. For a time, objects like silver picture frames were all the rage, but now the pendulum has swung back toible favors. Whether it is an elegant pair of truffles or a jar of jam made with your own two hands, guests always like tasty favors that they can eat.
The new popularity of these old wedding trends just goes to show that good ideas will always come back into favor. Use some of these new classics to enhance your wedding, if you like. After all, weddings have always been about the blending of old customs with modern sensibilities.
