Summer 2012 New Jersey Wedding Trends

By Joe Hyer, Create Excitement Multimedia Specialist

"Spring Fever" is upon us, and soon enough we'll all have a case of "Wedding Fever." Since we've been in the wedding industry for more than 20 years, we know that now is the time we can start to see what is going to be popular at wedding receptions for the next year or so.

Single Venue Weddings
We've talked about it all year, but it remains true: single venue weddings are quite trendy. Brides and grooms seem to be deciding that they can have a wonderful wedding day if they hold their ceremony and reception at the same venue. After all, a single venue event is more convenient for the bridal party and the wedding guests. Everyone is able to enjoy themselves as they won't have to travel from one location to another. Plus, a cost savings could be involved since multiple venues and extra transportation won't be needed.

At Create Excitement,
we ARE the Jersey Shore experts at making sure you'll have a perfect single venue celebration. We are happy to celebrate your special day from start to finish with you and your loved ones. If you're planning a single venue event, talk to us about how we can help to set the mood for your ceremony and reception. We offer packages that will keep the music playing, and bring our expertise to set a complete soundtrack throughout the day's events.

Pinterest
More and more brides are joining
Pinterest for creative ideas and creative inspiration throughout their wedding planning process. Pinterest allows couples to share photos of their creations, and to be inspired by other brides across the area. If you haven't joined the site, we suggest that you follow categories like Wedding Events to gain some fresh and exciting ideas. These ideas could range from viewing photographs of bouquets and centerpieces to getting inspiration for wedding dresses and tuxedos. There are a a lot of creative people on the site currently sharing the photos.

The popular website
Mashable.com suggests one of the best ways to use Pinterest is to gain feedback (if you want it), they write:

"Friends and other Pinterest followers can leave comments and feedback on pins to make the whole planning more interactive. If you are interested in hearing opinions, ask questions and invite people to tell you what they think."

Speaking of which, Create Excitement joined Pinterest this week! Follow us at:

Other Trends:
- Music: If you're headed to a wedding this summer, you may think it sounds like 1999 all over again! We've been seeing a pop music surge so far in 2012. In fact, boy bands (like The Wanted and One Direction) are dominating the pop charts and our dance floors. After all, the music is cheery and has a great beat to it. Regardless of your musical tastes we're happy to work with you to find the right soundtrack for your big day.

- Fashionably: Long sleeves and lace are popular on brides dresses across the country right now.

- Photography: With the expansion of the digital age, couples are spending more and more money on photography for their celebration. Weddings are full of memories that are meant to last forever, and they should be shared digitally. We are happy to recommend our friend
Russ Meseroll and Artistic Expressions for your photography and videography needs.
