It also helps that our customer base of nearly 25,000 brides and event planners worldwide help us forecast the trends via intense product and purchasing analyses and surveys. Simply put, we know what’ll be hot in 2011 by what our customers have bought so far in preparation for their 2011 events! For 2011, Koyal Wholesale (www.koyalwholesale.com) predicts the following:

2011 Wedding Trends will be driven by customization, personalization, highly affordable bling, bursts of color and as far as desserts go, cupcakes!

2011 Wedding Bridal Accessories will include a trend toward more bridal hair accessories, such as flowers, hair bands and feathers. Birdcage veils will continue to be popular. Corset dresses and dresses with drop-down waistlines will also continue their upward trend.

2011 Wedding Colors will of course be guided by Pantone’s Color of the Year, Honeysuckle pink. In addition, we believe that the warmer tones of coral and turquoise/aqua will continue to be strong. Navy blue will also be a strong contender for the most popular wedding color in 2011. Among Top 10 Wedding Color Themes for 2011 will be fuchsia and navy, honeysuckle and lime green and coral and navy.

2011 Wedding Themes will be guided by the trend toward personalization and customization. The Top 10 wedding themes for 2011 will include monograms, bling bling diamond wedding theme, and an eco-friendly, natural wedding theme. The damask wedding theme will also continue to be strong.

2011 Wedding Favors will be all about customization and personalization. The Top 10 Wedding Favors for 2011 will include customized eco-friendly favors such as seed packets and biodegradable favors. With the increased trend toward travel and destination weddings, custom luggage tags will be a popular 2011 wedding favor. The best 2011 wedding favors will also include monograms, personalized stickers and other accents to allow the favor to match the event’s color scheme. We predict that cupcakes will also be included as one of 2011′s hottest wedding favors. Brides will send their wedding cupcakes home with desserts in designer cupcake boxes, that can be customized with ribbon and personalized stickers.

2011 Wedding Supplies will be driven by color, bling and affordability. Paper lanterns will continue to be one of the most popular wedding supplies of 2011, as they provide a burst of color without bursting the wallet. Among Top 10 Wedding Supplies for 2011 will be diamond confetti, glitter diamond mesh ribbon at $3.33/foot, hanging crystals as low as $1.68 each, and crystal beaded curtains. Brides will be particularly enamored with affordable LED centerpiece lighting in 2011, and wireless floralytes will continue to be one of 2011 most popular wedding supplies. In addition, cupcake supplies will be among 2011′s hottest wedding supplies. Brides will continue to add dessert tables and candy buffets to their receptions, and cupcake cakes where cupcakes are dressed in designer cupcake wrappers, will be more popular than ever in 2011.
