2018 Trends
We are already into March and seeing some of the hottest trends emerging! Here are some of the 2018 trends:
- Card Displays. For your escort cards we love unique displays. You can use the escort/seating cards to give your guests an extra gift. Create a flower wall that your guests can take a bloom home or a fun keepsake like a bottle filled with candy. We also love the idea of using shot glasses for your guests!
2. Registry details. This year it’s not uncommon for a couple to already have essentials like home goods. So, they are asking for cash! The Knot allows your registry to also include funds for adoption or down payment on a home. It’s not rude in this day and age to ask for what you really need. If that isn’t pots and pans then that’s fine.
3. Another 2018 trend we are seeing are balloons and arches! What a fun way to decorate for a spring/summer wedding. Balloons add that flair of color that will make your area pop. Also, you can pair Mylar balloons with latex to get a variety of feels too. The romantic round archway is also getting a re-vamp this year. A circle represents unity so it’s perfect for your ceremony! Similarly, you can even decorate the arch with balloons to get both trends. Balloons don’t always have to be associated with being out doors either. You can create a lovely archway for your reception venue with balloons too!
No matter what your style you can choose to capitalize on these trends with your own flair. Add in your personal touches to make it the day you want!

M&M Chauffeur
M&M Chauffeur
Everything’s been set but there’s one thing brides can have fun more with–transportation! How are you and the bridal party getting to the wedding and reception? This is one thing that brides needn’t worry over, there are dozens of options available. It’s not overly taxing to call chauffeur companies and request a free quote. We are featuring M&M Chauffeur service this month. They are a local, Naperville company that has been in business for 14 years. They are also featured in the Glancer magazine for June. Depending on your bridal party size you need to consider what kind of vehicle you’d like. Some brides prefer only to have themselves chauffeured between the ceremony, pictures and reception. If this is your case, consider a vintage vehicle like this 1961 Classic Rolls Royce.
If you have a large party and want to include the bridal party on your trek, consider the SUV or long limo! This is perfect for partying with your friends in style.
M&M Chauffeur is located in Naperville and serve Chicago as well as other suburbs. Feel free to contact them via Facebook or call for a quote!
