I went to a wedding fair here in Vancouver last weekend at the Westin Bayshore Hotel located at coal harbour. It was a massive event with over 150 exhibitors. I was trying to scope out the event to see if it is something I would like to participate in the near future.
There were a ton of vendors presenting photography services, destination wedding ideas, wedding planners, venues, wedding cakes and dresses. But like I had guessed, not a lot of accessories vendors other than engagement rings and wedding bands. I definitely did not see clutches anywhere in sight. Now, I don't know whether this is a bad thing or a good thing ... maybe a wedding clutch is something of a value too small to be exhibiting in a huge wedding fair like this one. The cost to participate in the show is just too large that you will never make back the cost. Or maybe there just aren't many people out there making customizable clutches for weddings?
As I walked around, I tried to analyze what the wedding trend of 2010 was. What colours are popular, what theme... I have to keep in mind of what the wedding trend is in general to make sure that the clutches works well for the brides and fit in with the rest of the wedding decor.
These are some of the trends that I noticed as I toured around the tradeshow, making my way through all the newly engaged couples:
-black and white weddings (carried of from last year)
-using turquoise as the main colour
-Victorian designs in decor
-use damask in decor
-pure white and crystal weddings
-ruffles in dresses
If anyone has any more ideas on what the trends of 2010 may be, let me know!
