French Wedding Trends
Black is the new white for wedding dresses in France. The trend for Paris wedding shows for 2008 is the black wedding dress. Well known couture designers like Max Chaoul and Cymbeline Paris all have black dresses in their 2008 collections. The Paris fashion inspiration is bound to bring in the trend for the color black to American weddings in 2008.
Get ready to add black accents to the wedding reception. Think combinations of black and white or black and pink for a very French style. For the bold bride, black and red will be fabulous because jewel toned colors are definitely in for 2008. Do color accents with table linens and wedding favors. Black wedding favor boxes filled with Jordan Almonds or French truffles to stay with the French theme will be ideal.

While the French glam is looked upon by the world as the trend setter, one big wedding trend for 2008 is the eco-friendly wedding in America. So, brides can incorporate all the French touches to the environmentally conscious wedding. Thank your guests with a sweet French wedding favor: a little sachet of organic hard candy or lollipops.
Little sinnamay favor bags or jute favor bags can be filled with organic candy favors. Rather than tossing bird seed or blowing bubbles, why not follow a wedding tradition from the South of France and have your guests shower you with handfuls of lavender. Lavender buds are readily available to order in bulk for environmentally conscious French wedding favors. The French are famous for exquisite meals, so have the wedding meal prepared with all organics in delicious French style. Many wedding caterers are available to feed the need on the eco-conscious.
The French inspired style of decadence will be a trend for 2008. Inspired by the fashion epic, Marie Antoinette, decadent reception décor will be a must for the more luxurious wedding in 2008. Brides will show a flair of bourgeoisie by boasting big gowns, brocade, gilded colors, hand-painted invitations, lush floral centerpieces, champagne-tasting bars, seven-course meals and dessert displays. To create a look of French opulence there will be an abundance or rose petals, candles, and don’t forget feathers! Centerpieces will be large and towering. The more lush wedding favors will be French soaps in luxurious white favor boxes and French truffles presented in white bon bon favor boxes. Of course the more expensive and elegant wedding favors, such as chrome heart bottles stopper favors will still be a classic wedding favor idea.
Weddings in 2008 will bring back the '80s cover bands. The 80’s cover bands will be a hit, but specialized live music to keep the guests entertained is the key. Toss out the string quartets and call in Latin ensembles or swing orchestras. Brides are looking to the past for inspiration and vintage is definitely in. Old French glamour from the time of Marie Antoinette and vintage style for décor and music will all be a part of stylish 2008 weddings.
