Ombre mania is one of the biggest trends among weddings and is consistently growing in popularity.  This style can easily be incorporated into your wedding theme by adding moderate touches or including it within every detail.  The simple concept of playing with color tones can leave a dramatic impression and complements both modern and softer wedding aesthetics.

Wedding Dress

Picking an ombre wedding dress is a bold statement that can pump-up the wow factor of any gown that boosts a traditional silhouette.  The touch of of color can be as dramatic as you desire but you can keep it slight to add just a hint of personality to your look.

                                                                

Wedding Party

Ombre bridesmaid dresses are a strong way to capture your theme during the ceremony and in pictures.  There are two styles of ombre dresses that you and your girls can choose from: either different dresses and have each girl in a varying shade of your specific color or a dress that changes in tone from light to dark. Both options are fresh looks that will leave your bridesmaids glowing instead of second guessing your friendship.

And don’t forget about the little ladies!

    

Paper Products

Your wedding theme is introduced to guests as soon as you send out the save-the-date or invitation and should be consistently maintained throughout the event.  A spectacularly planned wedding is detail orientated and creatively enhances the design with simple touches.

          

Flowers/Decor

Elegant flowers arranged by color can be the wow factor that every bride wants to see when she walks into her reception for the first time.  Placing flowers from subdued to bold creates a vibrant feel that can be carried throughout the decor.  The best part is that this theme is possible with any budget!  Because the effect works with any flower, you can pick flowers that are in season and have a trendy wedding without overspending.  A thrifty bride is always a happy bride…especially when the outcome looks so expensive!

          

Cakes

The ombre wedding cake is the easiest yet most diverse way to incorporate the ombre style into any wedding.  You have the option of selecting ombre layers within a cake, ombre fondant/decor on the outside, or both!  Just like with the ombre trend in general, an ombre wedding cake is just as stunning whether it has a contemporary or ruffled look.  You are free to interpret the ombre trend in any direction and the cake is the centerpiece for your creativity.
