December brings with it the joys of holidays, the woes of weather and the abundance of lists: bests and worsts and, of course, trends. Men’s Vows wants to make sure you stay abreast of all that 2017 will offer by way of engagement, wedding, honeymoon, style and fitness trends. So, to that end, we will begin with this week’s list, a smorgasbord of what’s in store for next year or, really, next week!

COLOR OF THE YEAR

The fine folks over at Pantone have declared this year, the year of Greenery.

CAKE OF THE YEAR

We are done with the cupcakes, done with the pies, done with the cookie bars, this year it is all about the Tiered Cake.

VIBE OF THE YEAR

Forget the formality of a receiving line, forget the mystery of an after party, go for a loungy vibe for the entirety of your big day.

FLOWER OF THE YEAR

The “soft petal” bloom which include: peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, dahlias, otherwise known as “romantic flowers.”

VENUE OF THE YEAR

The venue that is a total surprise for your guests whether because they’ve never heard of it, because you’ve totally tricked it out or because it has everything, a la Transept in Cincinnati.

PIX OF THE YEAR

The photo booth ain’t going anywhere, but it is showing up with slo-mo, gif, and flipbook features that it will send immediately to your mobile phone for immediate sharing.
