How to Incorporate Hot Wedding Trends Into Your Atlantic City Wedding

by Tara Bard, Contributing Writer

While everyone wants a wedding reflecting the personality and interests of the couple being wed, it's always helpful to include some of the hottest wedding trends to engage the guests and to provide a contemporary feel. If you're worried that some trends may oppose your Atlantic City wedding, fear not! Some of the latest trends work especially well with beach or casino weddings.

Eco-friendly wedding trends. Green is in! The shore is a great place for an eco-conscious ceremony and reception. Many guests may recall the days of trash (including needles) washing up on the Jersey shore, and they'll especially appreciate a fresh beach wedding with an eco-friendly theme. Recycled, fibrous paper works well for seashore-themed wedding invites because it looks a bit like sand. Natural elements like sea shells can also emphasize the importance of nature.

Personalized, practical favors. Personalized favors let your guests know you're think of them and are grateful for their presence! For a casino wedding, consider a shot glass or some usable poker chips in a personalized bag. Beach receptions could include small sea shell-shaped chocolates in a handy carry-away bag.
   
Beach and vintage glamor themes. The beach theme is simple to pull off in Atlantic City. As vintage glamor is also popular, consider renting a parlor room or more intimate reception space in a casino or hotel. Atlantic City is a location that thrived during much of the early 20th century, and if you're local, many guests will be thrilled to find a theme inspiring childhood memories.
   
Put it online! Many couples now opt to keep wedding planning journals and host wedding websites with additional information for guests online. This is a very helpful trend as you can provide instant updates to guests and friends near and afar. You can find several free beach or casino WordPress themes online to customize your site.
