Neutral Tones with Bright Accents

Color palettes are one of the first things that brides will consider when planning a wedding. In 2017, we’ll be seeing more brides focus less on color and more on neutral tones of grays, creams and golds paired with metallic accents.

Elaborate Entrances

Making your grand entrance is what will set the tone for rest of the wedding. In 2017, we’re going to see a lot more elaborate entrances including over-the-top decor for not just the bride, but for when your guests arrive to the wedding. Don’t forget to ask your Boston DJ to work with you on the perfect entrance playlist for your wedding!

Far Away Destination Weddings

In the recent years, destination weddings have been extremely popular like a beach wedding in St. Thomas or Mexico. But what we are going to start seeing more of in 2017 is the popular trend of far away destinations such as Ireland, Italy or Canada.

Planning Virtually

The millennial generation is all about social media and instant gratification and with most weddings taking place being millennials, they’ll want to make their wedding planning to be that way too. In this industry, we’ll be seeing more use of mobile apps for the entire planning process to be accessible at their finger tips. At MARX, we provide our clients the option to plan their event through our online planning system which includes any song requests you or your guests may have.

Creative Icebreakers

Have you ever sat at a wedding and found center pieces that included disposable cameras or fun questionnaires? Think about that concept but taking that a step farther. Now couples are looking for more creative ways to break the ice for their guests including lawn games, interactive food stations or a photo wall.

Removable Skirts for Gowns

When it comes to the bridal gowns, one of the major trends we’ll be seeing more of in 2017 is the removable skirts. As the bride walks down the aisle, they’ll be rocking the belle of the ball gown. When it’s time for the reception, it’s as easy as removing their skirt to reveal their party dress that is slim, slender and flows to the ground. It not only is convenient, but also saves on the cost by having only one dress instead of buying two.

The wedding industry is constantly evolving with new and innovative trends. 2017 is going to be an exciting year for us and we hope that we can be a part of your big day this year while planning your Boston wedding. Talk to one of our DJs today!
