Picking your wedding colors is a huge decision in planning your special day. Here are the top trendy colors for 2021 from the wedding experts at The Knot.
Blue In the past few years, jewel tone blues in deep blues have been all the rage. But this year, look for lighter tones to take the stage. The dark blues will stay around as accent colors to set off powder blue, cornflower and French blue hues. Light blues work great with other pastels and even earth tones. Choose light blue ribbons, glassware and flowers such as sweet pea and hydrangeas. Green A recent trend of tropical themed weddings has brought green shades back into the spotlight. For 2021, look for a more retro look with mid-range greens. Pistachio and avocado greens will give your nuptials a cool vibe. Look for green dresses, ties and other accessories because green’s range makes it flattering for almost any skin
tone. Look for flowers such as palms and ferns to add more green to your floral arrangements. Purples Once again, these aren’t the punchy, bold purples popular in the past. Instead, look to pale lilac and lavender paired with pastel yellow and mint green for a whimsical, ethereal wedding palette. Incorporate these hues’ namesake flowers in your bouquet and use edible flowers in your cake and treats for maximum punch. Orange Coral and peach have been the hit oranges, but this year they’re making way for a darker, warmer papaya orange. This orange is also not as dark as a rust orange, making it a great middle ground if you’re wary of
this bold color. Think terracotta vases, orchids and lilies to work this vibrant color into your big day. Yellow Unlike other colors, yellow is going more vibrant for 2021. Look for a sunflower yellow that’s also popping in roses, lemons and peonies. Accent your tables with bright yellow candles and linens or gold flatware. Neons We’ve seen the 1980s back in fashion, now it’s in wedding palettes. Look for screaming hot fuchsia, teal and cobalt blue in trendy 2021 weddings. Don’t just pick one neon for your wedding, choose a whole pack of them to go together for a bold, non-traditional look.
Your wedding can be green without a single splash of the color appearing. Making your big day sustainable and eco-friendly gets easier every year as the wedding industry hops on board the green trend.
Here are some tips for having a big day with a little carbon footprint.

• Responsible Rings Well before getting to the details of your wedding day, you can make sure your engagement and wedding bands are sourced responsibly. Use the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme to track your stones and ask your jeweler if they’re committed to using conflict-free stones. Lab-created stones may have a bad rap, but they’ve got a lower impact on the environment. And recycling isn’t just for the empty bottles of bubbly. Reusing estate jewelry is an environmentally responsible choice with great vintage vibes. • Recyclable Invitations Pick wedding stationery that’s printed on recycled paper or uses alternatives like upcycled fabrics or even wood. Seed paper, a biodegradable material that sprouts into flowers when planted in a pot of soil, is a great and whimsical choice for your wedding invitations, RSVP cards, thank-you notes and more. • Choose an Eco-Friendly Venue Look for hotels and event spaces that are LEED certified and have Energy Star ratings. LEED means Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and it’s an independent verification that a venue was designed and built using
strategies that try to improve energy savings, water efficiency, carbon emissions reduction, indoor environmental quality and stewardship of resources. • Don’t Trash Your Decor Find ways to reuse, recycle or donate the decorations you use in your wedding. Send the flowers to local hospitals, senior centers and homeless shelters. Gift food and favors to your venue’s service staff, family or guests. For things like lanterns or mirrors, send them to local thrift stores. • Rent, Don’t Buy Look into renting items instead of buying single-use disposables. Some of the things you can rent are glassware, linens and more. If you do have to use disposables, try to choose paper things that you can recycle or will biodegrade instead of plastics. • Make a Green Exit Instead of tossing rice or confetti, have your guests use lavender, rose petals, fresh herbs or micro flowers. These items are biodegradable and colorful, giving a pop of color to your grand exit. Put them in paper bags for guests to grab.

But at times it seemed 2020 had other plans for the couple, who own Brittany’s in the Platte River Mall. When COVID-19 came, they had to close their doors, “so we got knocked off the horse then,” Aaron explained. Then, they signed on to provide Nebraskaland Days merchandise, but when COVID-19 canceled the festivities, “the horse knocked us off again.” The support of the community helped them get through the tough times, Brittany said, especially after they weren’t able to receive any Paycheck Protection Program or Small Business Administration loans. Amonth and a half before their wedding date, the couple decided that they were going to end the year on the horse,
Couples planning to marry in Nebraska didn’t have to make quite as many pandemic-related adjustments as people in other states, but there were still road bumps. Some couples waited to arrange the ceremony and still others had to postpone celebrating with family and friends, like the two North Platte couples who shared their stories with us. ‘None of it was going to keep us from it’ Brittany and Aaron Adams were hoping to have their wedding on their 11th anniversary, Oct. 24, 2020.

So we felt like it was really meant to be now.” Although Brittany had initially envisioned a wedding in Mexico, the pair ended up having a small, intimate wedding with immediate family at the Sutherland Reservoir. But being able to end their year on a high note made up for the things that didn’t go quite as planned. “You want it all, you can’t have it all — in any situation. Pick your must-haves and go all out on those,” Brittany said. “Just realize it is one day, and as long as you’re marrying the person you want to be with for the rest of your life and the people (who you want) to be there are there, be happy you were given that opportunity in the first place. Because it could be a lot worse.” Aaron echoed that sentiment: “My biggest piece of advice is what I realized — and I already felt this way — is the importance of the day. People get too caught up in the chairs being perfect —” “My chairs were perfect!” Brittany interjected, noting that was one of her must-haves. “ — But at the end of the day, remember what it’s worth, what that day is all about.”
come hell, high water or directed health measures. “We said, ‘We’re going to end this year with something positive.’We decided we were not going to let COVID stop us,” Brittany said. “Money, none of it, was going to keep us from it,” Aaron added. The quick turnaround ended up working in their favor. Because many events were canceled, the Adamses were able to book services and vendors on short notice. “We feel like it worked out the way it was meant to — makeup, hair, the whole shebang,” Brittany said. “Everybody happened to be open on that date.

people to put on masks. “That’s not fun, to be the bride and tell people they’re not obeying the rules. I didn’t want to have to go and be a police (officer) at my own wedding.” That, combined with her family’s not being able to attend and the money the couple had spent booking a venue, caterer and wedding photographer, eventually made them say, “Oh my gosh, this is not worth it,” Elizabeth said. At that point, the couple simply had a private ceremony at the Prairie Arts Center with Kip’s sisters and two of Elizabeth’s brothers as witnesses, followed by a dinner at the Switchyard Pub & Grill, which was supposed to cater their event. They did it all a day earlier than they had planned. “Now everything is kind of on hold as far as big celebrations for later,” Elizabeth said. Local vendors provided a bit of a bright spot for the Thayers. The Prairie Arts Center, which they had initially booked until midnight, allowed them to use space to host their half-hour-long private ceremony. “They were great,” Elizabeth said. “They have set prices for certain things, but in this case they just said to make a donation, consider it an hour time and kind of go from there. They worked really well with us, especially changing the day.” Elizabeth also said Bible Supplies reprinted all of their personalized items with the new date, Switchyard gave their deposit back and Westfield Floral refunded their flower order. The Thayers are hoping family will be able to join them to celebrate the marriage sometime during the summer. To others in similar situations, Elizabeth advises, “Remember why you’re getting married, what the purpose at the end of the day is. And all the other stuff is just stuff.”
Elizabeth Kip and Kids: Elizabeth and Kip Thayer share a kiss after their private Nov, 27 ceremony at the Prairie Arts Center. With them are their children, 9-year-old Bently, 8-year-old Gatlyn, and 7-year-old Avery. Photo courtesy of Elizabeth Thayer. ‘Oh my gosh, this is not worth it’ For others, it wasn’t quite that simple, especially with family far away. Elizabeth Thayer’s parents and nine siblings live in Connecticut and couldn’t come to the Nov. 28, 2020, event that Thayer and her then-fiancé, Kip, had been planning for a while. “It was the week of (the wedding) that my family was like, ‘We’re not coming. It’s just not going to make sense for us to come out, spend the money and potentially not even be able to celebrate with you.’” In addition, directed health measures were becoming stricter as hospitals across Nebraska filled with COVID-19 patients. They’d already planned around some of the restrictions, such as limiting their party to less than 80 people. Then the week of the wedding, Elizabeth had to send a note to all the attendees saying no children would be able to attend. And then another that no one would be able to bring a plus-one. “At this point, I was like, nobody is going to have fun. You have to sit at your table, you can’t dance,” she said, and she didn’t want to have to tell
Outdoor weddings are gorgeous and romantic. But they present a special challenge when it comes to planning. Follow this easy checklist to make your outdoor wedding day as stress-free as possible.
• Have an alternative location. No one likes to think of it raining on their wedding day, but it’s a possibility that must be considered. Have a backup plan if you wake up and the weather is out of sync with your plans. • Have a communication plan. If anything big comes up (like that big location change), have a quick and easy way to communicate those changes with vendors and guests. This can be a note on your wedding website or on social media, or you can turn over all the responsibility to your wedding planner or coordinator. Set up a plan to have bridesmaids or other trusted friends mind the phones if you don’t have a planner or coordinator. • Have a plan for parking. This is especially true if you’re getting married in a backyard or at a restaurant or park. If you don’t have enough space, try to make an arrangement with a nearby school or church and include the parking info on your wedding website. • Check on noise rules and regulations. Check on local laws and venue rules when it comes to volume and times for your musicians and DJs.
• Restrooms. Does your locale have ample restrooms for the number of guests you’ll have? If not, you can rent portable restrooms for your guests. • Consider electricity needs. Outdoor weddings usually don’t have convenient power plugs hidden amongst the trees and grass. Check with your vendors to see what their electrical needs are, including the caterer, baker and florist. Then coordinate their needs with your location. • Plan for hydration and shade. If you’re in a warmer locale, you’ll want to provide cooling shade and drinks for your guests to keep everyone safe. • Plan for the pandemic. Outdoor weddings are par- ticularly attractive to those hoping to gather safety despite COVID-19. Make sure you have hand sanitizing stations, consider hosting groups in shifts, and have guests that are able to stand so that there’s more distance between them. Minimize sharing of items such as photo booth pops, serving utensils and guestbook pens.

still supported each other. I was brought to tears by that, watching it all unfold.” Despite some changes, Nebraska wasn’t hit as hard as the rest of the nation. Here, McGarrick said, people were less discouraged and focused more on how to improvise. “I honestly didn’t have a single couple that booked us that canceled their wedding,” McGarrick said. “I was amazed because here am I talking to those videographers from other states and they’re like, ‘All of our weddings were canceled or postponed.’” at the front of their minds: shrinking their guest lists, having the ceremony For many couples, adaptations were without grandparents in order to keep them healthy, or making changes to accommodate directed health measures. One bride married in October was in constant communication week- to-week with McGarrick
Especially
during
the
novel coronavirus pandemic, “there are days in everyone’s life where they question what they’re doing,” says videographer EmilyMcGarrick. McGarrick owns North Platte-based RA Productions with her husband, Brad, and they film weddings and commercial shoots. A couple’s May wedding amid the strictest directed health measures reaffirmed her confidence. “I was like, what I’m doing really matters. It made an impact. It was really special to see that,” McGarrick said. The date was significant to the couple. The bride’s grandparents’ anniversary was that week, and they were determined to have their ceremony then. “So they just decided it’s not about the wedding, it’s about the marriage,” McGarrick said.
There were still sparks of normalcy that McGarrick captured. She played the couple’s first dance song on her phone and recorded them as they danced outside. And family and friends found a way to wish the newlyweds well with a drive- by parade. People drove as much as a couple of hours to honk and hold up signs. “It was so cool to see how people weren’t mad about it, they weren’t bitter about it,” McGarrick said. “Obviously the day didn’t go as planned, but they
about how they’d change and adapt. But McGarrick’s video made it so that the pandemic didn’t overwhelm their wedding day memories. “(The bride) said afterwards that she really loved having her video because she said 10 years from now, she’ll be able to go back and watch it and the focus of the video isn’t on the pandemic,” McGarrick said. “So that’s what’s on the forefronts of our minds right now, but when you watch the video, you can’t really tell anything weird is going on in the world. The focus is on them, on their story, their celebration.”
It was unlike any other wedding she’d shot. With the event restricted to 10 people in the church at a time, McGarrick came early to set up “four or five” tripods and then stood outside the church door to film the ceremony. “That was pretty crazy to see this momentous day in someone’s life and there was hardly anyone there,” McGarrick said. “It was heartbreaking, but also inspiring to see that (the wedding) wasn’t what mattered to them — what mattered was the commitment they were making.”
Your wedding is a big day, but what’s really huge right now are things that are tiny. Miniature foods, drinks, favors and even cakes are all the rage. Here are some ideas to help you incorporate this trend into your wedding.
Finger Foods Finger sandwiches are a great idea for a garden wedding, but you can take this even farther. Mini tacos, sliders, pigs in a blanket all can be miniaturized. Serve these tiny dishes as passed dishes or on distanced tables. A Taste of Cake Wedding cakes have been shrinking lately. Full cakes became cupcakes and are now cake pops and cake balls. These tiny treats can be stacked in layers and arranged in adorable ways to complement your decor and theme. Drinks We all know a tiny drink is most commonly a shot. There are ways, however, that your bartender can craft little specialty shots that are more elegance and less frat party. Favors Think little bottles of local honey or wine, miniature chocolate bars with your monogram and the date, itty bitty bottles of liquor —all are great ideas for jumping on the tiny train. Keep your tiny favors local to give your guests a great memento of the day.
Clothing Even clothes are getting in on the trend, including shorter skirts that bare knees and legs for warmer days for brides and bridesmaids. Crowds As the pandemic rolls on, couples are trimming guests lists to accommodate local rules on gatherings and to make their ceremonies safer. And it’s a trend that may stick, experts say. It also plays into a more enduring trend of minimalism and choosing experiences over expense. Cornman Farms in Michigan offers a small wedding package and noticed the trend before COVID-19. It accommodates a tiny crowd and offers couple a stunning backdrop for their big day. “When we first came up with this, a pandemic not being considered, we said it was designed for couples who wanted simplicity and affordability but still wanted those Instagram-worthy photos,” said Jamie Gray, the farm’s marketing and communications manager, in The Detroit News. “They kind of get the best of both.”

Cheese is definitely having a moment. As part of charcuterie boards, displays and other elegant meals, the cheesier the better. Put this trend front and center at your reception with these ideas.
Grilled Cheese Bar Talk to your caterers about a custom grilled cheese bar with different flavors of breads, spreads and cheeses. Choose melty cheeses like nutty Gruyere, sharp cheddar and gooey fontina. Next, consider the bread. Think sourdough, rye and other easily sliceable breads. You can also add a variety of fruits – apple is a great choice – herbs, aromatics, veggies and more. Macaroni and Cheese Bar Similarly to the grilled cheese bar, this station combines different cheese sauces with your guests’ choices of pasta and toppings. Pasta shapes to look at include macaroni, cavatappi, rotini or penne. Sauces can include a creamy alfredo, classic cheddar, Swiss and Gruyere, or blue cheese. For toppings, thing about crispy bacon or pancetta, cool diced tomatoes, steamed broccoli, spicy jalapenos and chopped herbs. Cheese Cake Instead of a multi-tiered confectionary glory of a wedding cake, consider stacking up wheels and servings of cheese
for an eye-catching and delicious wedding cake alternative. Garnish with fresh fruits and flowers. This is a great idea if either the bride or groom is gluten-free or low carb. Note: Make sure you precut your cake; those wheels can be really tough to cut. Charcuterie Boards Serve charcuterie boards or spreads at each table or at a giant table so guests can help themselves. Charcuterie is a French word that refers to a type of food preparation that focuses on prepared meats like bacon, ham, sausages, confit and more. These meats are often paired with com - plimentary cheeses, fruits, jams and more on gorgeous boards for guests to enjoy. Wine and Cheese If your event space allows, consider hiring a sommelier for the evening to pair wines and cheeses for your guests to sample and enjoy. For favors, pack up tiny bottles of your favorite vintages and mini wheels of cheese for your guests to take home. Or, if you prefer, pair up cheese with different kinds of beer.

A charity registry gives your wedding guests the option to give to your selected charity in lieu of giving you a wedding gift.
With more couples opting for minimalist weddings and lifestyles, charity registries are growing in popularity. Furthermore, couples are living together before marriage and getting married later in life. These couples don’t need or want the traditional wedding gifts on most registries, but donating to charity can give them an auspicious beginning and give their guests a great way to honor their love. Here are some things to consider when looking for charities for your guests to support on your behalf. Evaluating Charities The charity evaluation site Charity Navigator said to
make sure the charity you are considering is a tax- exempt 501(c)(3) public charity. You can ask for the organization’s Employer Identification Number and check their site to confirm the status. Take a look at the charity’s finances. Healthy organizations are financially efficient and sustainable. The organization should also be accountable and transparent. Charities should be an open book, the site says, and follow good governance practices. Other than that, make sure to choose an organization that supports causes that are close to your heart.
Choose a Site There are several websites that can help you set up a charity registry that’s easy for you to use and for guests to give. MyRegistry. com allows you to add charity links using a simple browser button. The Good Beginning allows couples to choose organizations and gives them a simple dashboard for identifying, giving and tracking gifts. Blueprint allows guests to give a custom cash gift that you can donate to the charity in your own name.
Getting More Donations Brides says the average goal for charitable registries is just under $900, but the actual amount is a little less than half of that. One way to boost donations, if your budget allows for it, is to offer to match donations up to a certain amount. That option can also give you a larger tax write-off for the year. Remember, even the smallest donations can make a huge difference at a charitable organization.

Your big day is all about you and your partner. But if guests are coming from afar or if you’re having a destination wedding, you need to show some love to your guests, too. Put together welcome bags, boxes or baskets to make your attendees feel like they’re a special part of your wedding.
Start with Snacks Start off with things to make your guests feel more at home on the road. These can include snacks, candies, bottled water, specialty coffees, or tiny bottles of bubbly to kick off your celebrations. Lend a local flavor to your gifts by choosing local brands. Vendors may even be willing to add a monogram and date to the labels to make your gifts more special. Get Out Also include travel guides and suggested destinations for guests who aren’t familiar with the area. Include directions to the ceremony and reception locations, along with transportation information. You can include tickets to popular local attractions, ideas for sightseeing and a list of your favorite restaurants. Toss in travel-sized goodies like sunscreen for a beachy locale or handwarmers for a snowy destination. Party Time Another clever addition to your welcome boxes is a post- wedding recovery kit. Put in travel-sized bottles of Advil or Tylenol, cooling eye masks, do-not-disturb signs and
anything else your guests might need to recover from a little too much fun.
Drop a Note Get ahead of the game by writing thank-you notes to your guests and including them in the welcome bags. Make the notes special by handwriting them and personalizing them to each guest. Tell them how thankful you are that they traveled to be a part of your festivities. Sowing Seeds of Love For an outdoor wedding, consider dropping in packets of seeds or young plants that will be seen on the grounds during the ceremony. You can also include gardening gloves or a small pot with your monogram and the date of your nuptials. Box it Up When you’re looking for a container, go with something like a tote or box that can be reused. This earns you green points and also gives your guest a memory to take with them after the party’s over.
