2011 Trend Forecast: Part I - Everything old is new again!

Great Style, Fine Artwork, and brilliant Design techniques are truly timeless. I really love watching classic Fine Art and Design techniques making a come back and it looks like 2011 will be the year we see the reinvention, re-introduction and incorporation of one such technique in wedding designs. We expect to see a tremendous appearance of the classic "Silhouette" image being used as a trend in creative wedding and special event designs. We in the Vivid Expressions Event & Wedding Design Studio-gallery are expecting to receive a number of requests to create illustrations and decor designs of Clients who'd like to include cameos and other silhouette elements into their event.

Thinking about adding silhouette images to your wedding design or event theme? Be cautious. Silhouettes and cameos are images that create form (and even mass) in a stark contrast they can produce a strong impact and if one over uses them they can go from creating a distinct continuous design theme to just being overwhelming (and a little obnoxious). However, used correctly in the right number, scale and balance spread throughout an event's design silhouettes can add a unique, fantastic accent for Vintage, Romantic, Bohemian, or Eclectic wedding. Look for silhouette images and cameos appearing in many forms in event and wedding element designs in 2011 such as stationary, bridal accessories, room decor, cake designs, table-scape elements, favors, lighting design, and more.
