✨TREND ALERT✨: Audio Guest Books
Instead of asking guests to pen a few words on paper, record their well wishes on a vintage phone. These fun retro accessories double as recording devices—and the ultimate wedding keepsake. While a note is always nice, there's nothing quite like hearing your grandmother share some marital wisdom or your college roommate crack an inside joke—especially long after the wedding day. Audio guest books are a wedding trend we could see lasting well beyond 2024.

One of the most exciting parts of a wedding is capturing the small details that make the big day so special. From the intricate beading on the bride's dress to the carefully crafted centerpieces, detail shots have become a significant trend in wedding photography.

These close-up images not only showcase the beautiful elements of the wedding but also help to tell the story of the day. Photographers now take extra time to capture the small details, often using creative angles and lighting to highlight every aspect. Whether it's a shot of the wedding rings or a close-up of the intricate lace on the bride's veil, detail shots are a beautiful way to capture the essence of the wedding day.

There is something magical and nostalgic about the water...

The water has a way of capturing our imaginations and transporting us back to simpler times. Whether it's the gentle lapping of waves against the shore or fond memories of a family vacation on the beach, there's something undeniably soothing about being near a body of water. Perhaps it's the knowledge that beneath its surface lies a world teeming with life, or maybe it's the way the light dances across its surface, painting a picture that changes with the passing clouds. Whatever the reason, the water makes us feel small yet connected to something greater than ourselves.

We adore it when our couples incorporate colorful florals into their big day.

From bold and bright bouquets to vibrant centerpieces, pops of color can add a playful and whimsical touch to any wedding. Not only do colorful florals create a visually stunning atmosphere, but they also allow for more personalization and creativity in the wedding design.

Whether it's a bohemian-themed wedding with wildflower arrangements or a modern wedding with sleek, monochromatic blooms, colorful florals can enhance any wedding style. So, if you're planning your wedding or helping a friend plan theirs, consider adding bright florals to the mix for a fresh and unforgettable touch.

More and more couples are opting for a minimalist approach when it comes to their wedding day.

Instead of going over the top with decorations and details, they focus on their surroundings' beauty and let nature do the talking. One of the most popular locations for this type of wedding is the waterfront, where the stunning views provide the perfect backdrop for a simple yet elegant ceremony.

The natural beauty of Herrington on the Bay's surroundings is easily enhanced with subtle touches, such as a few flowers to accent our archway. This approach not only creates a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere but it also allows the couple to focus on what's truly important: celebrating their love surrounded by the beauty of nature.

There is something magical about Herrington on the Bay that you must experience in person to understand fully. We welcome you to come tour with us and see the magic yourselves. Please send us a message to set up your personalized tour!

Trend ALERT:

The latest trend in wedding decor is mixed-height centerpieces, where the floral arrangements and candles are placed at varying heights to create a dynamic and visually exciting display. This trend adds depth and dimension to the table, making the overall look more elegant and sophisticated. Additionally, mixed-height centerpieces allow guests to see and interact with each other more efficiently, as a tall centerpiece does not obstruct them. Overall, this trend is a great way to add a touch of modernity and creativity to any wedding reception.

We will always support a fun outfit change paired with a sparkler sendoff! 🌟✨💖

Choosing the perfect dress for a wedding afterparty can be a fun and exciting task. You want to find a dress that is comfortable enough to dance in and stylish enough to make you feel confident and beautiful.

PRO TIP: It's always a good idea to bring comfortable shoes to change into later in the evening, as dancing for hours can be tiring in heels.
