The keyword for wedding trends this year? ALTERNATIVES! Couples are choosing fun twists on classic tried-and-true favorites, from veils to place cards. These fun touches will have guests talking about your wedding long after the big day! Take a look, we’re outlining them below.
Wedding Trends 2019, 1: Veil Alternatives
WHAT YOU’LL FIND: Some brides are skipping the traditional wedding veil in lieu of a stylish alternative. The top wedding trends 2019 for veil alternatives include feathers, floral headpieces, headbands, metal hair combs and clips, hair vines, gold tiaras, and bows. You’ll still see plenty of veils; however, brides are opting more for an off-the-cuff design, even if only for the reception.

Some couples are skipping the cards altogether and seating guests with seating charts instead, written on boards, mirrors, glass window panes, or wooden welcome signs.
