2010 Wedding Trends: What’s Hot & What’s Not

2010 Wedding Trends – What’s Hot and What’s Not….A Style List for Modern Brides

My friend Sheryle Ulyate, who is one of the most elegant women I know, suggested that we compile a list of what the editors of Modern Bride might well be touting as their trendsetter ideas for 1010…if only there were still a Modern Bride, which there isn’t.

Sheryle knows a thing or two about trendsetting; she was one of the founders of Three Day Blinds, a company that nearly single-handedly revolutionized the window covering industry.

Like me, Sheryle is a believer in the old less-is-more Oscar Wilde adage that puts style into perspective. He said, “I am a man of simple taste. The best will always do.”

Here it is, our “What’s Hot and What’s Not” list of wedding trends for 2010 brides. In simple good taste, of course:
