As weddings are becoming less traditional and more inventive, wedding venues are also becoming more diverse. Industrial wedding venues are trending and it’s easy to see why. There is something about exposed brick, iron light fixtures, and high ceilings that set the stage for a very hip party.

Industrial spaces provide the perfect backdrop for live bands, signature cocktails, and some spaces like Washington DC’s Lost and Found, even allow food trucks for a more causal party.  One of Lost and Found’s Owners, Hilarey Leonard said that people “book the space for wedding after parties mostly, but also rehearsal dinners.” They have one booked now and the couple is bringing in catering
and having a blues band.  Another couple is eloping in Fiji are doing a post-nuptials party there for family and friends.

While Industrial weddings sometimes have a “hard edge,” it’s easy to soften up the space with flowers and lights. Some couples even bring in their own art or choose a space that has a gallery. These raw spaces are open to customization, and thats what makes them very unique. It’s easy for a couple to put their own unique spin on the place.

As I write this we are at a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet and I am looking at a literal cloud parade below, but what I’m really excited about is the virtual Cloud Parade on my computer right now (thank you in-flight WiFi)!

Cloud Parade is a new online market place for the hip and trendy bride or groom to design and shop for their wedding all in one place. I was so beyond excited when the owners approached me to have Doie Lounge robes open a shop up on their site. Now brides and bridesmaids can add our robes to their “clouds.” Clouds are almost like wedding Pinterest boards, but even better because you can visually plan your wedding and then buy everything in one place.

They make searching easy too. Planning a grey, “hipster,” wedding? Just click on the grey icon and the moustache (hipster) icon and up pops all of the ideas and products that fall into those categories. Genius! Check out their new video on Vimeo—it will tell you everything that you need to know about planning your ultimate wedding in the coolest and easiest way possible.

They haven’t launched yet, but you will be the first to know!
