12 of the Hottest Wedding Trends of 2015

The traditional bouquet might as well be tossed for good, because more and more brides are walking down the aisle with unique bunches. The use of greenery — either as accents or the star player — has become a popular option this year. Not only does it add texture, but it also plays up the shape of the rounded bouquet in a fresh way.

Gold and silver metallics rose as popular chic wedding-cake touches, modernizing the classic white and serving as a fun accent to less-than-traditional cakes. Brides have taken to this trend for a subtle hint of glam that's not too over-the-top.

This year saw a return to more conservative dresses — long sleeves and lacy backs over strapless. Modest gowns are timeless and beautifully elegant, so it's no wonder they made a comeback this year.

One of the trendiest wedding themes goes to outdoor rustic. The Pinterest-worthy setting is effortlessly romantic and especially magical come nightfall.

This year, it was all about presentation. Repurposing furniture into confectionary sweet spots makes for a pretty self-serving area that guests are sure to love. Macarons in particular seemed to be a wedding favorite.

The succulents trend extended from the home to weddings as unexpected bouquet accents and adorable little favors. They're inexpensive yet special, making them perfect centerpiece alternatives as well.

Naked cakes were a popular choice among intimate and large receptions alike. Not only is the undressed look pretty, but it's also a great way to cut back on frosting and fondant for health-conscious couples and guests.

The mason jar is another example of a home trend gone wedding favorite. They're a simple and thrifty way to display floral arrangements and can easily be transformed with metallic paint.
