Ever wonder what makes the perfect wedding? The answer – there isn't one specific thing – it is all of the work, careful thought, sweat and sometimes, tears that go into the planning and preparation.This year many of the best wedding trends lend themselves to very simple personal touches, taking an okay idea and creating the perfect wedding experience for that special day.

Below are just a few of the fabulous ideas that have been showing up across the country this year to create perfect wedding bliss.

“Save the Date” Invitations

It's all about the couple's attitude. Super creative, and personalized to the max: printed on fabric, styled like movie posters, mimicking vintage postcards - the sky is the limit with this latest trend, allowing for complete expression of excitement and spirit of the couple to be. These little gems are my favorite of the current wedding trends.

Wedding Websites

Wedding websites are the ultimate in wedding trends. They provide the opportunity to share every detail of that special day in one central location. Most wedding websites have detailed event pages for all of the wedding activities including where they are, what time, and who must attend. As well as a place where the bride & groom can suggest good restaurants, kid friendly activities, spas or other things for their out of town wedding guests. Amazing for information dissemination and organization of all those wedding details.

Guest Participation

Allowing guests to pick the cake topper helps with one of the many wedding details, and creates a way for everyone to be involved. The excitement of seeing which option won, as well as providing a common element of conversation for those attending the wedding make this one of the year's most jovial trends.

Hors D'oeuvres

Mini & mobile are great descriptors for the food at wedding receptions this year. Inspired by street food, many wedding planners are incorporating a hip urban vibe into the wedding reception. The food is small and easy creating the perfect appetizers for the pre-dinner mingling – bite-size fish tacos, baby lobster rolls and mini california rolls are just a few of the big ideas. What a fun way to do something different and set the tone for mingling.

Groom's Cake

It's his special day as well, and this year the Groom's cake is back in vogue. The Groom's cake adds a touch of his individual style, as well as displaying the compromise of bringing personal styles together.

Venues

This year, anywhere but inside is the perfect place for the magical day.

Popular outdoor venues include romantic rooftops, poolside decks and rolling fields or meadows.

Cheers to all the summer wedding parties. May each wedding be the perfect event of this season.

This is a great outline to focus on when planning a wedding. Mine was almost 42 years ago, but I can still feel the excitement of the planning.
