Wow what a great start to the week. Eventology surpassed all my expectations. I came away with marvelous new ideas for my business and my wardrobe! This group of wedding professionals was diverse in background and style but there were definitely some trends that stood out in my mind. Here are our top 3 Eventology 2010 trends:

1. Big Bold Color- Bright colors were definitely in high demand. Lots of bright green, purples, pinks and most definitely yellow.  Ranging from chartreuse to neon to soft pastel, it was the hot color at Eventology 10.

2. Hidden Platform Shoe- Perhaps because we weren’t on our feet all day everyone decided to break out their highest heels. The hidden platform is a comfortable way to reach new heights, whether in a neutral or a hot attention getting color.

3.  Ruffle Details- Black in white, soft colors, bold colors, big collars or little details on the side. Ruffles were everywhere. Flirty and fun I think this trend is going to stick around for awhile.
