David's Bridal

Good Morning DB Readers and Happy Wedding Wednesday!  Valentine’s Day is one of the most romantic days of the year with almost 10% of engagements happening on that day… and that day is TOMORROW! If you are a bride to be and are looking for wedding planning tips, we have the top 5 wedding trends for 2013!  They are…..

1: Have fun with food! If you’re looking to do something funky, think of your favorite date night restaurants, family dinners and foods you crave when you are happiest!

2: Emerald green- Pantone’s color of the year is going to be everywhere in weddings and we couldn’t love it more. Pair it with golds and creamy whites!

3: 1920s-inspired fashion- Mimick the popular TV show ‘Downton Abbey’ and put a focus on the stunning silhouettes of the era as well as gorgeous champagne cocktails, oyster bars, jazz bands and beautiful headpieces.

4: Sexy/demure- Alternative necklines, cap sleeves and three quarter length sleeves leave a sense of sultry with brides right now!

5: Individual style. Weddings are becoming much more about the individuals behind them rather than the tradition as a whole.  Say goodbye to matched styles and predictable venues and hello to layerse of color and alternative spaces such as restaurants and ranches.

Good Afternoon DB Readers! Happy Wedding Wednesday!  As you’re planning your big day, there’s one thing we can’t deny: wedding cakes are often so creatively done that they’re not only delicious but beyond gorgeous, too. With that said, let’s face it — not everyone likes this sweet treat, and sometimes you find yourself daydreaming about a chocolate bar instead. We’re with you, because we do too.

Although you may break a wedding tradition, the best thing about serving something other than cake is it’s another opportunity to show off your style as a couple. Even if you still want to serve cake, cupcakes are always an option! Remember, at your wedding you can have your chocolate, pie, or cupcakes and eat it too. Check out the slideshow to find a collection of our top five favorite cake alternatives. Here are 5 other ideas to use instead of a cake on your big day!

Cupcakes:

Donuts:

Pies:

Sundaes:

Chocolate Bar:
