Spring Wedding Trends

It’s cloudy and rainy here in California, but that’s not stopping us from sharing our favorite spring wedding trends right now! We are looking ahead to spring and feeling excited for our couples this year and the ways they are embracing these trends for their wedding.

Green, Green, and more Green

This new and innovative style is the use of greenery and natural materials into parts of your wedding. The appeal to greenery is the diverse types that can be used to create a unique warmth, custom appearance, and personalized look. The greenery is soothing and attractive to the eye, while also expressing an elegance and splendor to your décor. Greenery can be used in several ways, as table runners, flower bouquets, accents to the alter, groomsmen boutonnieres, centerpieces, or decoration on the cake. It blends perfectly with any color theme you choose, and it is the official Pantone color of the season. One of our favorite color palettes is a rose gold, blush, champagne, and cream color scheme accented with greenery for that classic but organic vibe. This trend has been on the rise in weddings, but will explode this season without a doubt!

Rose Gold

Weddings and fashion have had a long history and love affair with rose gold, a color crossed between pink/copper and gold. It’s the type of trend that has gone in and out of style, and right now it’s definitely a MUST. In the fashion, beauty and wedding world, rose gold has been making a regular appearance.

There are so many shades in this color palette that bring a warmth to nearly any design. Rose gold is a pretty, friendly, and romantic color, it’s not as bold as true gold, but also not as subtle as silver. It’s a happy in between that looks good on almost any skin tone and pairs well with other colors.

The latest popular trend we’re seeing in weddings across the country, are enchanting rose gold accents. This trend is showing up on everything from rings, table decor, invitations and so much more! This romantic color pairs well with a variety of different wedding themes from the most rustic to the most glamorous. Rose gold has seemingly been a hit in almost every season, but because of its pink undertone it’s sure to be a big hit this Spring! The fashion, beauty and wedding industries are taking this trend and turning it into a lifestyle, integrating this color everywhere in charming, creative ways. Rose is the new gold and we LOVE it!

Meet the Interns: Spring 2017

We love our interns! Meet the fabulous four that have joined our team this semester. We can’t wait to see them grow in our Couture family!

Meet Sarah

Hello! My name is Sarah Bullat and I am in my last semester at San Diego State University, finishing my Hospitality and Tourism Management degree. I have wanted to be an event planner since I was 16, so I have lived and breathed the hospitality industry for the past 6 years! Applying for colleges with a career in mind set me on the path to success from the get-go. I have worked in catering and hotel guest services for the past 4 years, all as a part of my graduation requirements. I was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California and moved to San Diego when I began college. My favorite things to do are brunching, shopping and napping. I love all things pretty and magical, and sometimes live in a fantasy world where I am a Disney Princess.

Being able to work with Couture Events this semester as an intern will most definitely further my interest and training in the events industry, while being able to work with the kind of fabulous and magical team I have always wanted to! I can’t wait for everything that is to come in the next couple months!

Fun Facts About Sarah

Favorite Starbucks Drink: Hot: Chai Tea Latte Cold: Raspberry Green Tea Lemonade

Favorite Designer: Anything from Nordstrom! Rebecca Minkoff, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman

Favorite Movie: Tangled

Place in the World: Paris or London, I can’t decide! I’ve studied abroad twice in Europe and absolutely love it!

Meet Hunna

Hello! My name is Hannelore Jung, most everyone calls me Hunna, and I am beyond excited to be working as an Intern with Couture Events this spring! I am currently finishing up my junior year at Point Loma Nazarene University as a Managerial Organizational Communications major. I grew up in the small country town of Poway, California just a short drive from the sunny city of San Diego. When I’m not in class or working I love to spend my free-time painting, reading, working out, and spending time with friends and family.

I have always been very passionate about fashion, design, art and everything in between. When I was little I would sit on the floor of my living room with a giant pink note pad and my 24-pack of Crayola crayons and draw sketches of wedding dresses, dreaming of that magical day. I am beyond excited to be a part of such an enthusiastic and creative group of women dedicated to making each brides wedding dream into a reality!

Fun Facts About Hunna

Meet Hayley

Hi! My name is Hayley Hardick and I have had the pleasure of being a California girl for my entire life. I love everything that California has to offer, whether it be catching a wave, snowboarding down a slope, or hiking a beautiful scenic route. These are just a few reasons why I couldn’t leave when I was selecting which college to attend, I am a junior at the University of San Diego and I am majoring in Communication. I am hoping to pursue a career in event planning once I graduate next spring. I am an active nature girl and enjoy creating and building relationships with new people. It is easy for me to strike up a conversation with someone I do not know, I feel it is very important to be a good listener so you can discover what makes each person unique. I devote some of my spare time to yoga and spin classes, so I can stay fit and continue to grow my communication skills simultaneously.

I am beyond thrilled to have this internship opportunity, and look forward to embarking on this journey with Couture Events family. I’m lucky to be a part of this team and can’t wait to gain insight and knowledge from this experience.

Fun Facts About Hayley

Favorite Starbucks Drink: White chocolate mocha in the winter and passion tea in the spring.

Favorite Designer: Tom Ford, his brand is edgy and modern. I also admire Carolina Herrera, her line is always sophisticated and radiant.

Meet Alissa

My name is Alissa Bisharat, I attend the University of San Diego majoring in Communication with a minor in Philosophy. I am fortunate enough to call the beautiful city of San Diego home, where I was born and raised. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy, which fueled my love for traveling and desire to travel the world. I have been a cheerleader/dancer my entire life and for the past two years I have volunteered as the head cheer coach for a pop warner team called the Norsemen. I have always been passionate about all things related to fashion, beauty and event planning. I was apart of the Nordstrom Fashion Board program when I was in high school, which ultimately lead to my employment there on and off for about 2 years. I have a HUGE family so attending and planning events is something I have always been very fond of. After looking into the company I knew Couture Events would be a beneficial place where I could flourish and exercise my creativity. The concept of every wedding/event being Couture (individualized and elegant) for each client is something I find valuable and attractive. I am extremely excited to intern with such an admirable company and discover what happens behind the scenes.
