2014 Wedding trends - part one - continuing


In our previous article we had a chat about the Majestic wedding trends for 2014. I just want to elaborate a little about the majestic elements.

First of all it is necessary that you realize that you don’t have to use all the elements discussed above into one wedding. The majestic trend consist of 7 different colour pantones – please have a look at the Lenzing trends photo below - http://www.lenzing.com/fasern/service/trends/trends-autumn-winter-20132014.html



For the purpose of the mood board I decided to use 4 of the 7 colours. I added photos of a bride dressed in a brocade wedding dress, groom dressed in Jacquard material, invitations with a ikat pattern and Boysen berry colored bridesmaid dresses just to mention a few.

Important points to remember:


  • When you are deciding on your wedding colours and theme I would suggest that you make use of 2 to 4 of the above colours – not more than that. Decide which one of the above materials you would like to use and then bring it across in all your dresses and décor.
  • If you are extremely adventures you can use the ikat patterns together with the brocade however you will have to be careful on how you carry the theme through your wedding. Don’t try and use too many elements in the wedding décor.
  • If you want to use the two patterns – rather use ikat on your wedding invitations and then you do the rest in brocade.
  • Another thing that you need to keep in mind is that ikat tends to be very overpowering – it is a pattern that makes you think back to the hippy era. So be careful not to use it as the primary décor trend – rather find places here and there where you can bring it in without it taking over for example: Use a plain type of material or even a brocade table cloth but bring the ikat pattern in on your serviette ring.
  • You can use the ikat patterns and the Fil coupe materials successfully in a themed wedding – just think about a 1960’s wedding theme.

2014 Wedding Trends - Part one

This is going to be a very interesting series on wedding trend for 2014. After hours of research on the internet - reading and studying the pantones, Interior design sites, Fashion forecast sites etc I noticed that their are a few color palettes that came up on every site. 

Every year the event and wedding industry looks to the above industries and take their lead on color schemes. I decided that I will do a series on the wedding trends for 2014. Enjoy!


One of the top ten Pantone colors for 2014 is Majolica blue as shown on the picture. Majolica blue might strike you as a little dull, but it is a good base color and well as a good add on color. Majolica blue is actually a deep, mysterious teal blue - it has more vibrancy than the good old navy blue and it definitely brings in an exotic flair to this color scheme.

Boysen berry is a dark red blackberry like fruit. To get this color into your color scheme youcan make use of the plum color calla lily, dark red/pink orchids or even dahliahs. Mix the boysen berry color with a soft petal pink and you have a winner. 

A suggestion is to look for a petal pink brocade material to use as a base material at your wedding. Part of the Majestic trend is the use of brocade materials, Jacquard materials, ikat materials and patterns and even Fil coupe materials.

Choose a wedding dress made from brocade materials, plait your hair and use antique vintage jewelery and you will for sure have on Majestic One in a Kind Wedding!
