1. Summer 2016 - 17 Top Wedding Trends
Yipee! Spring is here, and with it, a stupendous new wedding season. We love seeing the new
trends in all things wedding, and here are the Event Marquees top picks for the new wedding
season.
Mixed Wedding Party
No longer is it assumed that your wedding party will be strictly gals for her, and gents for the
groom. Today’s weddings have bridal party’s made up of who is significant to them, so you will
see a lot more mixed wedding parties, made up of their nearest and dearest - including siblings
and close friends. Also a trend on the rise, is for both Mum and Dad walking the bride down the
aisle.
White Dancefloors
You are no longer limited to classic wooden
dancefloors for your wedding. You need to
check out our new white dancefloors before you
make your decision. Sleek, glossy, modern they
are the must-have wedding accessory for this
season. They are super flexible and make a
stunning bridal aisle as well.
Bridal Pants
Direct from the catwalk, modern brides are increasingly opting for bridal pants, either as their
main wedding attire, or for the party afterwards. Bridal pants look amazing and are great to
dance in! Also trending in wedding wear is separates - which include crop tops for the
bridesmaids, paired with flowing lace skirts and high-waisted pants.

2. Sharing Receptions
More and more couples are ditching the
traditional 3 course sit down dinner, and opting
for share platters for all courses. This creates a
relaxed atmosphere and encourages
conversation as the platters are passed around.
This sort of set-up is perfect for long tables, and
we often see weddings where it is encouraged to
change your seating after each course. We often
do these set-ups with areas for dining, lounging
and dancing!
Doughnut Walls
Who doesn't love doughnuts? This hot
hot hot 2016 trend sees the bride and
groom swapping out the traditional
cake for a bespoke wall of doughnuts.
With a myriad of icing decoration
choices it is easy to match their overall
theme. Style it with flowers and
bunting to make this a real feature of
your wedding.
Outdoor Lawn Games
Cocktail Hour is perfect for lawn games, such as oversized Jenga, Connect 4 and Noughts and
Crosses. And if you have children at your wedding, an absolute must. It allows your guests to
mingle easily and get them excited for the night ahead. Event Marquees can help you with your
set-up to include outdoor entertainment zones, that pair perfectly with your internal design.
