Colorful décor, innovative menus, creative wedding cakes…the latest wedding trends for Spring 2020 offer plenty of options for the newlyweds to reflect their own personal style in every detail of their big day. If you are planning your Spring wedding, consider a few of these on-trend ideas for your 2020 celebration:

1. Bridal Style: All-out Romance and Modern Chic

The vibe at Bridal Fashion Week was total romance:

• Gorgeous satin ball gowns, multi-tiered skirts and lots of pretty embellishments. 2020 spring brides looking for uber-feminine styling will be stunning in layers of tulle, ruffles, lace, and oversized bows.
• Conjure the Renaissance with details like smocking, empire waists and puffy, exaggerated sleeves.

For brides who prefer a sleeker, modern style, the gown chosen by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex for last year's Royal Wedding continues to influence:

• Sleek, unembellished lines and open boat necklines.
• Trending bridal hairstyles will center on casual updos, braids and sleek ponytails.

For the men in the bridal party, classic tuxes in navy blue will remain a popular look. Grooms seeking a bit more flair will opt for 2020 menswear trends like muted greys and earth tones or bold colors, checks or double-breasted suit jackets.
