NEW TREND
For whom the bells toll, 2014 is going to be a year that’s up close and personal.
Brides will be blushing, their moms crying and guests swooning when it comes to the wonderful world of weddings. Think small and quaint, warm beaches, pastels, and sleek silhouettes.
“It’s virtually impossible to create a truly memorable and unique event with a large guest count,” says Karina Lemke, a Toronto-based wedding and event planner, of karinalemke.com. “The logistics of feeding and organizing guests takes its toll on the little details and atmosphere.”
One big trend is small scale soirees – that means 10 to 100 people in a restaurant or unique venue. “Anything but a banquet hall!” says Lemke. Pledge your love and sip cocktails in a fancy barn, charming countryside inn, upscale bistro, chic gallery or a rooftop terrace.
