Spring into Spring with Hot 2009 Wedding Trends
 It's almost here! Spring buzzes with new trends, brighter colors, and warmer weather. We can't wait for dreary to turn to cheery. It's time to explore the latest spring wedding trends for 2009. Hold onto your veil- from the hottest spring colors to Blume-ing bridesmaid gifts, here's a sneak peek at what's to come this wedding season.
Black is Back
 Black is back. Black wedding dresses were a trend way back in 2007. This season, black partners with white for a super chic, European color combination. It's all about the accents. Black roses, black table linens, or black sashes. WeddingStand's pick for best black wedding favors: Dreamy damask tea-lights.
Get Down on the Farm
Go to a wedding lately? Don't wear heels, wear overalls. Because of this year's unfortunate economic earthquake, brides are going rustic. Farms are the most budget friendly venues and there's nothing more quaint than getting hitched and going on a hay ride. Wildflowers, monogrammed candy jars and topiary place card holders, bring your wedding from barn to country chic. WeddingStand Tip: Have fun on the farm. Create a petting zoo for the kids or have a Hawaiian-style barbecue.
Pretty in Pink
According to this article, pink flapper bridesmaid dresses will be all the rage for spring. But be warned: The right kind of pink is uplifting and feminine; the wrong kind of pink and your bridesmaids will look like bottles of pepto bismal. Flapper dresses, when taken out of the 1920's can also look costumy, especially when the accessories are overdone. No long string pearls or feather headdresses. Give your girls simple, elegant bridesmaid jewelry as bridesmaid gifts or suggest they wear no jewelry at all.
Something Blue
 With the blue skies of spring comes a new twist on an old favorite - aqua blue! It's almost the exact color of the famous jewelry box from Tiffany's. Don't go overboard and paint the wedding blue. Combine it with a softer, gentler color or white. WeddingStand' s pick: Beautiful aqua blue favor boxes .
Retro Bachelorette Parties and Bridesmaid Gifts
 In spring 2009, brides will toss old bachelorette party ideas in favor of new creative ones. We may finally see the end of pink-boa-wearing, inebriated bachelorettes at Chip N Dales. Bachelorettes will go old school, put on some bridal party tube socks and kick it at the skating rink or go watch Roller Derby with their besties. When it comes to bridesmaid gifts for spring, 2009, Blume Girl hats will be all the rage and bridesmaid totes will become increasingly popular.
