Wedding Trends for 2008

Here is my list of hot wedding trends for 2008:

• Eco friendly "green weddings" or incorporating elements of green into the festivities.
  

• Wedding invitations on recycled papers or printing your own invites at home

• Donating to an ecological cause (like donating to the National Arbor foundation) in lieu of a wedding favor
  

• The bride and groom taking dance lessons so they can dance their first dance like the "stars".
  

• Chocolate fountains at the reception

• Romantic receptions with tiny glittering lights and candles

• Wedding toasts and speeches

• Destination weddings

• Outdoor wedding ceremonies

• Writing your own wedding vows

• Incorporating elements of the bride and groom's personality into the wedding

• Silly things like tambourines at the reception to get the bride and groom to kiss rather than clinking a glass with a spoon.
  

• Unique wedding cakes and cup cakes trees
  

• Colorful bouquets of flowers
