A random yet lovely catalog came into my mailbox today. A perfect lunch break read :) Specializing in recycled home decor, At West End had some super cute outdoor decor. Not everything was my cup of tea, but the items above would be perfect for a wedding!! So let’s continue the reuse, recycle, reduce path into 2011!

Better known as ‘chair personality socks’! Chairs have been decorated in many ways; covers, hanging floral, tags, signs but never socks! Interesting trend for your wedding reception or ceremony but hey, whatever floats your boat! I have to admit, digging the navy and red stripe. Find them in various styles at the link above.

Eeek of cuteness! I love it when textures combine and form greatness! The patterned fabric trend has grown to be a huge favorite in the wedding decor world aka tablecloths. But fabric sleeves for invitations?!?!  I love it so much, I need to sit down. See more here.

Videos are all the rage. But now, videos have entered the wedding world. I have to admit, it takes some special skills to make it look just right (there are plenty not-so-good ones out there, so look into hiring a videographer – some even include it in their packages these days!). A trend that started in 2009, will go all out in 2010. Added bonus is that it’s eco-friendly! Check out some of my favs here, here, here, here.

::Swoon:: Not only do I absolutely drool over the work of Annabel and Dorothée, but take note of this couple’s elegant and charming wedding attire. Patterned, charcoal gray suit, yes please. Knee-length wedding dress with fabulous detail, yes please. Trend of 2010, better be!! Check out more from this wedding here.

2009 was a HUGE year for wedding trends especially for the hip, indie bride! Not only did the diy train take-off later in the year, but I think the handmade artisans and crafters led the whole way! I’m definitely one of ‘their’ biggest fans and supporters. Indie artisans keep on rocking into 2010 and beyond! Check out the rest of the favorite indie artisans here. Please include your favorites in the comments, let’s share and mingle!

ps – come see me at the first ever Indie Wed on Jan. 30th in Chicago! If all goes well, maybe it will make it’s way to San Francisco soon!
