Less is more at 2018 weddings. Couples are boiling down their wedding wish lists and guest counts. And, simultaneously, they are paying extra attention to each and every detail\u2014curating the most elegant weddings. Couples are hand-selecting everything from flowers to wine, and this incredible attention to detail is showing up in all the top wedding trends of 2018.<\/p>\n
We love the new wedding reception trends because they ask you to put your style into every aspect of your wedding, and this is something we are passionate about. So, with great excitement, we invite you to embrace the following wedding ideas.<\/p>\n
New Metallic Wedding Colors<\/strong> Of course, you can replace the popular blue accents with warm hues of your favorite color. Soft neutrals are still incredibly popular, with white, ivory and blush setting the tone for elegant wedding decorations. However, that that should not discourage you from adding a pop of bright color\u2014blues, yellow and orange are finding their way into the 2018 wedding d\u00e9cor trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fine Art Wedding Theme<\/strong> Couples are going to great lengths to ensure every moment is complete. One place we see this is in cocktail hours where couples are pairing each upscale appetizer with a fine wine. For this, couples are attracted to our innovative cocktail hour small bites like:<\/p>\n \u2022<\/strong> Mango glazed jumbo shrimp skewers<\/span>: Jumbo gulf shrimp jerked and finished with a fresh mango glaze. Mystical Wood Forest Theme<\/strong> Wooden details and plenty of greenery put the finishing touches on buildings that are filled with natural light and stunning views. And venues with outdoor spaces open a whole other forest of opportunities for natural d\u00e9cor and breathtaking photo ops. With stunning greenery and gardens, the River Oaks Garden Club<\/a> is booking up fast.<\/p>\n Industrial Metallic Theme<\/strong> When couples incorporate their unique style into their wedding d\u00e9cor, it is transforming wedding venues like never before. Think large yet graceful and let your personality shine in variations of these top wedding d\u00e9cor trends:<\/p>\n \u2022<\/strong> Suspended arrangements<\/span>:\u00a0Try hanging flowers with metallic accents. Couples are choosing entrees that tell something about their story\u2014as a couple and part of a wonderful family. Childhood favorites and first date meals are being reinvented by skilled chefs using the freshest, highest-quality ingredients to create delicious and incredibly custom menus<\/a> that nail all the wedding food trends<\/a>. With each bite revealing something about the couple, menus are more dynamic than ever\u2014lending themselves to action stations, buffets and small bites rather than plated dinner service.<\/p>\n Later in the evening, couples are looking to complete their unique wedding experience using fun and creative wedding dessert ideas. Nearly naked cakes\u2014those with the sponge poking through a thin layer of buttercream\u2014are only the beginning of the fun wedding dessert ideas.<\/p>\n Doughnut bars are gaining popularity and are easy to customize. However, we really love creating one-of-a-kind dessert tables unique to you. For example, we had fun setting up a Paris-themed dessert station among ivory and gold wedding d\u00e9cor. Guests loved this elegant display not only for its cake pops, assorted macaroons, Eiffel Tower sugar cookies and petit fours, but also for the memories it shared.<\/p>\n Couples are giving extra thought to their pre- and post-wedding brunches<\/a> as well as their actual wedding day. They are asking us to further personalize their bridal showers and rehearsal dinners and help them plan relaxing and memorable post-wedding brunches that let everyone soak up everything they have experienced and shared together.<\/p>\n We treat these events just like your wedding day, leaving no detail unturned. Because you can trust us to coordinate with your venue to provide everything you need, including food and beverages, staff, flowers, rentals and entertainment, you can pare down your wedding planning checklist. This ensures you keep all your energy and personality that your wedding beautifully showcases.<\/p>\n Dating back to 1988, our Houston catering company has seen a lot of wedding trends come and go. But the undercurrent of personalization has always remained, and we are so excited it is coming to the forefront at 2018 weddings. From signature cocktails to personalized wish lanterns<\/a>, we can\u2019t wait to combine your unique style with your wedding theme.<\/p>\n We are humbled every time a Houston couple trusts us to bring their wedding dreams to life.

\nMetallics are still popular, and for good reason\u2014they help create the elegant and ornate atmosphere couples desire. But gold, brass and rose gold no longer lead the charge\u2014they are giving way to silver, chrome and copper. And white marble accents and touches of blue are adding a welcoming vibe to this shiny wedding color theme.<\/p>\nArtisanal Wedding Themes<\/h2>\n
