Wedding trends for 2008 promise to bring more vitality and excitement to your big day! These will be fun weddings that you will really enjoy attending! Wedding trends for 2008 include different and more unusual wedding themes, wedding gifts, and honeymoon locations.

Eco-Friendly Trends: Organic and Green

As everyone continues to "go green", wedding favors do the same. If you are looking for eco-friendly favors, consider flower seeds, mini potted plants or even bird's nests.

Many wedding traditions and trends have changed along with wedding fashions. Though wedding trends may come and go, many items like reception favors and the use of calligraphy remain constants.

Couples that are tying the knot in 2008 are doing their best to be part of the environmental green movement by serving organic foods at their weddings and brides are carrying organic flowers, using recycled paper products, and serving organic foods at the reception. Today's bride and groom are holding showers and receptions at unconventional sites such as homeless shelters as well as donating to charitable causes instead of receiving gifts.

Organic brides can choose a Bridal Wedding Gown made from sustainable materials such as Hemp, reuse a wedding dress, or make a wedding dress from eco-friendly materials. Green weddings will play a big part in weddings for 2008.

Honeymoon Trends

Couples that are marrying in 2008 won't necessarily choose to celebrate their future lives together by honeymooning along side of a beach somewhere. Honeymooners are just as likely to seek out an action packed ten day stay at a ski resort in Pennsylvania or at a dude ranch in Montana or elect to spend their honeymoon vacation by participating in an activity they both enjoy. They may even go so far as to rough it by taking an African safari rather than indulge themselves at a luxury hotel. 2008 honeymoons are all about experiencing life to the fullest. Today's couple is more individualistic in their selection of their wedding theme and wedding attire.

Wedding Cakes and Gift Trends

Big wedding cakes are back in a big way, along with patterns in the cake and frosting. The big cakes often feature a different flavour per layer, and brides are going with stacked layers instead of layers on stands. Bride and groom cake toppers are coming back in style, as a tip to the retro look. Brides are also favouring cakes that replicate the patterns in their dresses. Buttercreme frosting is big, but doesn’t hold up well for warm weather events.
