I am so excited to see what kinds of trends emerge in 2010. Some of which I hope to create with my own wedding! As an event professional you might find a few humorous and some very true trends we experienced in this business by seeing them here.
This year things went very vintage, backyard chic, fun and colorful…I can only image what we will soon start seeing. There are a few trends I am very ready to leave in 2009 i.e. the fake mustache, bride clinging to grooms leg in engagement sessions and candy stations amongst many others. I am sure you creative minds out there will come up with all new twists! So here are a few trends we featured on our blog and enjoyed in 2009.
Lastly, the Inspiration Team ( aka myself, Kellee, Brittany, Lauren, Oliver and our twitterless staff) at Be Inspired PR is looking to be totally inspired by all of you for 2010. We are looking for your favorite blogs to read and stay in touch with this year. Please list below your favorite wedding and event industry must reads with us. We will pick one lucky commenter for a special surprise! May the best blogs be listed…

Hi Leila,
There are so many wonderful blogs to choose from (and so many I’m sure I haven’t had the pleasure of finding yet), but if I had to choose my favorites they would be:
http://backstage.stylemepretty.com/
http://www.stylemepretty.com/
http://www.inspiredbythis.com/
http://www.thinksplendid.com/
Thanks to Abby, Tait, Liene and you and your team for continuing to provide wonderful content and inspiration. Looking forward to what is to come in 2010.
All the best,
Raquel
I’m a big fan of the Weddzilla Blog, Broke Ass Bride, Weddingchicks, Beautiful Paper and Rock n Roll Bride Blog
Best travel editor in the bridal universe… http://www.bridalguide.com/community/blogs/travel/
Sassiest.. http://www.confessionsoftheweddingdiva.blogspot.com
The Coolest Cat.. http://www.Twitter.com/BridalTravelGuy <– Handsom too!
But the BEST out there is DEFINITELY http://www.WhoWhatWeddings.com!
What do I win?
girl you know that your blog is on my “daily read list”! i also love the tomkat studio blog: http://tomkatstudio.blogspot.com for some fun inspirations!
Brooklyn Limestone – It’s mostly a decorating blog, but the owner of the blog is so crafty and hosts the best parties (you get to hear about these at all the big holidays) – it’s my favorite and most inspirational! http://www.brooklynlimestone.com
Definitely look forward to my dose of inspiration from you. Also love this blog from an event planner living in Memphis http://www.prettybride.net/, Rock n Roll bride http://www.rocknrollbride.com, this blog from vintage wedding dress designer, Stephanie James, http://www.stephaniejamescouture.com/blog/ and florist, Amy Child Marella’s, blog The Secret Life of Flowers http://hiddengardenfloral.blogspot.com/ (but I must admit I’m biased on the last one)!
I know, I’m biased too, but I love writing my blog and sharing all the fun couples and collaborative events- it makes my job so much fun, and to put it out there for inspiration and comment through the blog is even better for all the newly engaged brides trying to get a visual of their own. xo my job 🙂
