Spring is a season of color and life; from the runway to the red carpet to the aisle, we're seeing vivid pops of color, as well as soft neutrals, vintage style and glamour. Brides are mixing classic and elegant qualities with bold, unique and, of course, personal touches. Here, Idojour's top 10 trends as we head into spring and summer.
1. Head-turning Hairpieces
Brides are becoming more fashion-forward when it comes to their headpieces, opting for fascinators, masked cage veils, forehead headbands, and large flowers in lieu of traditional veils.

3. Bold Pops of Color
We expect to see bright hues, such as tangerine, lime green, and royal blue, in brides' jewelry, shoes, invitations, bridesmaids dresses, and g décor.

4. Mix & Match
In keeping with the vintage theme, many brides are favoring more variation and less symmetry, from textured linens on their tables to mix-and-match bridesmaids dresses, all tied into a central theme.

5. Natural Elements
Environmentally-friendly weddings are here to stay, bringing locally-sourced food and florals like succulents, wildflowers and baby’s breath.

Feathers are hot this year (even as the weather gets warmer); they add a unique and elegant touch to any wedding-day look.

Give your wedding a more casual. intimate feel with square or long, family-style tables. It makes guests feel like they're at a giant dinner party!

10. Impressive food & cocktails
Food creativity and presentation have become quite popular, and we are loving the innovative ways that brides are incorporating specialty cocktails, food stations (mashed potato bar, anyone?), and color-coordinated dessert tables with gourmet candy, cookies and other delectable sweets into their wedding menus.
