So food trucks are super trendy in general right now and let me tell you, having a food truck at your wedding is oh so trendy and there is a reason why (the reason is because food trucks are awesome). It may seem difficult to imagine how a food truck could be a fabulous addition to your magical event, so let me paint you a picture: a food truck rolling up to your rocking reception would absolutely be the icing on the cake for your all guests, especially the ones who've partied hard and are in need of some re-fueling.

Fancy Flappers?

Period films and television series have been making a splash in all aspects of our culture lately. If you haven't attended a "Gatsby" party in the past year or so you've been living under a rock and if you haven't been watching Downton Abby or Boardwalk Empire you are seriously missing out on a huge cultural phenomenon.

This makes me so excited to write about because even as a child I've loved all things antique (I'm obviously an old soul). Thankfully, the wedding scene in particular has really embraced this historical trend.  2014 has seen various takes on the antique trend from heirloom weddings ceremonies to roaring 20's themed receptions. Just like any trend or fad, the presentation can become a little redundant.

My advice to stay current and unique with this particular trend is to stay away from the go to sites like pinterest and weddinggawker.com when planning a period themed event. Get totally old school and research vintage photographs, antique magazines and newspapers. Try to gather inspiration from the real thing. Just a simple google image search such as "1925 Hollywood Glamour" will bring up gorgeous images that are sure to get some creative juices flowing.

Now, don't just think about the decorations. Events always seem more polished when the theme is evident through out all aspects. Implement aspects of your chosen era into your food, beverages, music, and even activities. An authentic Jazz band would certainly be a classy touch to a 20's themed reception.
