Wedding Trends for 2010
Welcome to the EAD Weddings blog! We are so excited to have you here. If you are a new visitor, we'd love for you to subscribe to our RSS feed and visit our sister site, EAD Living. Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back soon!
I am so excited to welcome 2010 to the world. With every new year comes a new energy, a new creativity, and a new fresh outlook on life (and of course, on weddings).
It’s my hope that 2010 will mark a return to the classic and timeless… a shift from the right-now to the lasts-forever, a continued focus on the personal details that make weddings special, and a fascination with all things lovely and unique.
With that in mind, here are my top six wedding trends for 2010!
#1: Depression Glass
I can’t get enough of the delicate beauty that is depression glass. I love the hint of color, the intricate patterns, and the history that each piece represents.

#2: Gloves
I’m not quite ready for long sleeves to make their comeback, but there is nothing more elegant than a bride with gloves.

#3: Altered Books
Repurposing items is high on my list of must-dos for any wedding. Lovingly altering books for your wedding programs or invitations adds vintage charm to your stationery.

#4: Time Capsules
I can’t even express how precious our time capsule is to me. It will be something that I cherish forever. Ditch the traditional guest book and build your own keepsake box with your guests!

#5: Statement Bouquets
From the exotic to the innocent – bold and bountiful bouquets are going to be the “it thing” in 2010!

#6: Black shoes
I don’t think I will ever tire of colored shoes. But a bride in black heels? That’s pretty perfect.

I love the idea of a keepsake box. Memories are probably stronger when looking and touching items, than the endless reading of a guestbook.
I’m loving the Statement Bouquets–what an awesome trend! Fun for us photographers to take pictures of, as well :)
So glad you were able to find some awesome pics of brides in black heels – those two are pretty awesome.
Love statement bouquets, and definitely think more brides are going that route.
The gloves? To die for. They don’t exactly fit the feel of my wedding, but if I were having a vintage feel to my wedding, you can bet I’d have those on!

@brit @true blind faith i too would adore seeing shorter gloves a la jackie o! ooh – with cap sleeves too!
@corinna the bouquets rock, right? it’s such fun to see something unique that isn’t a simple clutch.
@ellie i heart our time capsule, and along with it, we had cards for everyone to fill out noting why they brought what they did – it’s fun not only to see the items but to read their stories as well.
Loving the soft pinks! RT @amiatEAD & @cydconverse: Picks for wedding trends for 2010 here http://bit.ly/6EymlY & here http://bit.ly/6BQaBT

Gloves, depression glass, time capsules? I am with you! Anything that adds meaning and significance. New ceremony traditions a couple invents just for them… I am also loving vintage feather fans, milkglass with rhinestones jewelry, British tea time-inspired cake stands for sweet treats, apps, placecards, anything–and afterwards as a jewelry holder. Going to make some very soon to see how they go! A beautiful post!
Would love to see more black shoes in 2010! RT @amiatEAD: In case you missed it earlier: Picks for 2010 Wedding Trends http://bit.ly/6BQaBT

I totally agree about depression glass. It is a wonderful adornment at any type of function.
Love using depression glass. It brings that link to the past with hope for the future.
