Wedding Decor:
According to the Weddingring.ca, 2011 event decor trends include: New colors, beautiful table top decor, new linen textures, alternative centerpiece and feature table "Wow" factor options. One of the big trends for 2011 is creating effective minimalism using effective & well-placed design elements, effective floral statements, washes & patterns of lighting, & focusing the energy & design into the heart of the party.

Other resources tell us that wedding centerpieces will continue to be more contemporary. Centerpieces of branches, floating flowers, and candles will continue into 2011. Also look for other pops of color in hanging lanterns, table covers, and clothing accents (sashes, flowers pins, shoes, etc.).

Catering:
New catering trends for 2011 to consider for your wedding: Family Style Dining, Using foods from Local Farms, Tapas for appetizers or a meal, Deconstructed salads,Uncommon ingredients, Pasta, Nostalgic foods (including comfort foods & childhood favorites...hello mac and cheese!), Cupcakes & Candy, Colorful Wedding Cakes, and Architectural food.

Ultimately your 2011 is to be a reflection of you as a couple, your interests, and your personal tastes. It should also reflect your venue selection. So, have fun with it and don't stress too much over the details. Hire a competent wedding planner to help you with that so you can enjoy your event!
