Welcome to 💍 Wedding Trend Wednesday 💍 where we’re sharing the hottest wedding trends straight from the sources (brides.com, wedding wire, the knot & more)!

We’re starting the year off BOLD with Unexpected Reds 💋

The ‘unexpected red’ aesthetic incorporates bold red hues into wedding designs in creative and surprising ways. Rather than sticking to traditional soft or neutral palettes, couples are using deep crimson, bright scarlet, or rich burgundy to make a statement. These pops of red can appear in bridal accessories, florals, table settings, or even the wedding dress itself, adding visual interest and a dramatic twist to classic wedding aesthetics. Nicolette & Tyler’s wedding at SKY Armory (see recent posts) is an excellent example of the subtle, yet bold use of red.

Our tips:

🌹 Small accents: The idea is not to overwhelm with red, but to use it subtly through small details like red flowers, table runners with red accents, red lipstick for the bride, or even a red bowtie for the groom.

♥️ Contrast is key: The red should stand out against the rest of the color palette, adding a pop of color where it might not be expected.

Kiss Cam 💋 time, Thank God For Weeks Off edition

It's been a minute, friends. Welcome back to the Kiss Cam and Welcome to December. I had a few weeks off, which was nice and I'm entering tonight very refreshed. In perfect condition for Pat and Stephanie's wedding on this cold December evening.

Our wedding day began with me seeing Pat and Stephanie trudging through the Syracuse streets dress the night. I was able to yell out congratulations and I'll see you in a minute to them as I drove through Syracuse's downtown on my way to Sky Armory. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that the next door production of The Lion King had a matinee today, so as I pushed my cart full of heavy DJ equipment, I had to dodge many children hoping to see Simba defeat Scar.

This wedding is not only beautiful, it is a multi-floor wedding with the ceremony taking place on Sky Armory's 3rd floor, and the remainder of the reception taking place on floor number 2. Pat and Stephanie had a wonderful ceremony featuring very emotional words in their vows along with the group's brother serving as officiant

Before the reception started, the bride and groom decided to take the trend of a private last dance, and spending on its head by sneaking up stairs before the guest had a chance at having a private first dance, just the two of them. It was a wonderful moment.

The surprises continued with the introductions as the Bride of range ahead of time for Wade Minter , the announcer for the Carolina Hurricanes NHL team, a favorite of our bride and groom, to send in a custom announcement of the wedding party and the bride and groom themselves. It was a big surprise to the groom and the smile that he had while being introduced showed that the surprise paid off.

I have a feeling of these two are going to keep me on my toes all night long. So join with me for our first but not last December wedding of 2024.

Congratulate them with me, won't you?

The Groom - Pat Shafer
The Bride - Stephanie Lathey
The Place - SKY Armory - Syracuse, NY
The Song - Olivia Lane - You Got Me

Congratulations to you both and thank you for choosing Salt City Sound Machine!
