Here are the top 15 wedding trends for 2015 that every bride-to-be needs to know! Overall, we’re excited about all the great opportunities this year’s wedding trends afford. From personalising nearly every aspect of your wedding, versatility is key, giving you the chance to inject your personal style into your ceremony and reception.
1. Wedding Dress Trends for 2015
No matter their silhouette, emerging dress trends for 2015 have one thing in common: an enticing and elegant off-the-shoulder neckline. This type of neckline is flattering for brides-to-be who are less busty and helps to extenuate a long neck, giving the bride a long, lean look. Full skirt gowns dramatise the off-the-shoulder neckline and open the decolletage. Get your makeup artist to sweep a dazzle of shimmer across any exposed skin for a natural glow.

2. Wedding Shoe Trends for 2015
That repeat theme of variety in wedding trends is back in the shoe department. Gone are the days where brides-to-be felt destined to teeter in four-inch stillettos. Hot on the shoe agenda is a range of heel types from the block heels made popular on court shoes to petite kitten heels and flat pumps with pointy toes. Wedding shoes are getting a whole lot more relaxed and a lot more comfy in 2015.
3. Wedding Hair Trends for 2015
Taming your tresses with a soft plait is one of the wedding hairstyles of choice for brides-to-be in 2015. We’re not talking a head full of tiny braids; instead, a soft, slightly messy, loose plait has regained popularity. It’s a fitting style for brides adhering to the ultra-trendy Bohemian theme. If your day is characterised by rustic hessian, big blooms and hues of dusty pink and taupe, a soft plait would complete the look nicely.
4. Wedding Makeup Trends for 2015
Brides-to-be are going au naturale this year, opting for more understated makeovers. No matter the trend, the bridal makeup is meant to enhance your natural beauty, not overshadow or dominate it. When you walk down the aisle to meet your partner, you should be recognisable, not hidden away under layers of harsh makeup.

5. Wedding Cake Trends for 2015
Towering white cakes with every layer identical to the one above it are out and tiers with interesting textures are in. Wedding cake flavours are getting more interesting, too. Standard chocolate or vanilla sponge is making way for fruit infusions and more radical flavour combinations. Also on the rise are cakes for people with food allergies: vegan and gluten free wedding cakes are especially of interest.

This isn’t your nan’s wedding breakfast! When it comes to wedding food, industry caterers are reporting a surge in food banquets and food installations. Suspended bars and Henry VIII style spreads are on the rise. Variety and choice and making sure your guests have more options than the standard “chicken or fish” is high on the agenda this year.
7. Wedding Invitations Trends for 2015
Folded invitations are hot on the wedding stationery front in 2015. We love the versatility they provide and have a range of invitations that reflect this trend. We especially love these two: our equestrian-inspired invitations, perfect for a woodland or barn themed wedding and our elegant and dainty Parisian-inspired invites for a classic or glamorous wedding.
8. Wedding Bridesmaid Trends for 2015
When it comes to dressing your girls, ensuring they have the ability to inject their own personalities into your big day is high on the bride-to-be’s priority for 2015. Cookie cutter bridesmaid gowns with matching shoes is a thing of the past. The option is yours: buy dresses for your bridesmaids in all the same colour or in all the same style but in various colours or do both. Multiway dresses provide the versatility 2015 bridesmaids are craving.
9. Wedding Groom Trends for 2015
Following suit from bridesmaid trends, the groom and his groomsmen are also flirting with the mix and match trend. Give your groomsmen liberty to choose their own waistcoats and ties from a range of complimentary colours. Also, don’t be afraid to break away from the usual dark suits and materials. Linen suits are on the rise, especially for weddings abroad.
10. Wedding Car Trends for 2015
While there haven’t been any big changes in wedding transportation, the usual trendy vehicles are still top of the list.
