We have three spring/summer weddings booked with a yellow/blue color theme. Looks like we're going to be seeing blues for sure.

Yes all the blues are emerging quickly, turquoise, cobalt and lighter hues will complete the line, NAVY is out! Summer looks include greener blues.
Also beiges are hot, creme, champagne, taupe tan and shimmering golds are good.
Grey are strong with gun metal tones coming into play, and for summer the sofer sherbert colors are strong again, from salmon, peach and corals.
Check out Grace Ormond for the lastest trends in all the wedding world. I find she is generally spot on, however most smaller town finds these trends filter down more slowly than larger markets.
Good Luck with your weddings!

Fascinator - for those that love wedding trivia

I had to look this term up, Fascinator...may be used as a veil replacement.

It's like a little hat, I'm guessing a retro Hollywood look:
from Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascinator

If you click on the website you will see some pictures.

A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering akin to a shawl made from wool or lace. The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s.[1]
In the early 21st century the term has made a comeback but the meaning has slightly changed and now is used to describe a delicate, slightly frivolous head decoration worn on the hair almost exclusively by women. Modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers and/or beads.
