9. Comfy Ceremony Set-ups...couches and love seats at the ceremony for people to sit in.

A strange but true fact about me is that I occasionally teach a wedding planning class.  I also work with a lot of wedding planners and hotel sales staff.  These trends seem to be very hot at the moment.

P.S. I still love this dress (even though no one ever will wear it in practicality)...

As an added bonus here are some more trendy dresses the were showcased at Charleston Fashion Week in March...
