FOOD & DRINK Although this goes against every indulgent rule in the book of weddings, many brides and guests opt for a gluten-free, Paleo and/or organic diet. This year there will be more catering options for picky eaters and health-conscious guests.
{Family-style dining will also be very popular in the upcoming year.

PLANNING PROCESS The semi-homemade bride will dominate in the new year. The majority of brides today have full-time careers and are contributing financially to their weddings. 2015 brides will source wedding decor and inspiration from Pinterest and Etsy to "wow" with decor details while watching their bottom line.
TECHNOLOGY
Instagram is the app of choice for today's brides. Many couples are going so far as to create their own unique wedding hashtag and asking guests to tag their wedding photos with the hashtag throughout the wedding.
