Planning a wedding?

While you want your Big Day to be uniquely your own, it’s also nice to know what other brides are doing.

OneWed.com, an online resource for wedding planning, offers up its predictions for this year’s wedding trends based on industry research, polling and trend-spotting.

Be yourself. The top wedding trend for 2010 is personalization. Instead of a cookie-cutter ceremony and reception, the new focus is on customizing the big day for the bride, groom and wedding party. Do you and your future hubby share a special hobby? Whether it’s exotic travel or tennis, find a way to make your passions part of the celebration.

Bright color, black backdrop. For the latest wedding look, the only thing white should be the bride’s wedding dress. Black accents and bright, bold colors are in, for everything from bridesmaid dresses to flowers to table linens.

Earth-friendly. Eco-conscious nuptials are all the rage, featuring pre-owned and vintage wedding dresses, LED lighting, recycled paper invitations and locally grown food and flower choices.

Groomed for success. Today’s groom not only rocks a tux, but he also dives into the planning process.

Everything old is new again. Brides are catching vintage fever and falling head over heels for retro looks like Depression-era glass and tea-length dresses.

You can go home again. Backyard rustic chic is the best way to describe the newest wedding venue – your own backyard. Whether the wedding actually is in your own backyard, a local park, beach, barn or even the “backyard” of a fabulous resort, the idea is to invite just your nearest and dearest to a wedding that’s long on comfort, charm and love, but low on artifice, pretension and unnecessary extras.

Mix and mingle. Instead of a traditional sit-down dinner, experiment with a new twist on wining and dining by offering an extended cocktail hour, lounge-style seating or a family-style meal. Anything you can do to shake up the format will give your guests a chance to socialize more freely.

Return to romance. Romance is in the air with special engagement photo sessions, videotaped proposal stories to capture the memory (and possibly share at the reception) and a renewed focus on marriage.

Food you can eat. Today’s wedding receptions are serving upscale comfort food at sit-down meals, buffets and as late-night snacks.

iDo. Tech-savvy couples are embracing online wedding planning to save time and money – and tweeting about it along the way.
