2012 Wedding Trends

2012 is here, and for most of us in the wedding biz, Wedding season is just about to begin!
Today, we've got a two part special detailing some of the hottest trends in wedding this year. 


In 2012, brides will look to be transformed on their big day and they will make their day an 
extension of their personal individuality.



According to one of our wedding community's members, Streetlight Republic Photography¸
“2012 is all about Romance. Lace. Ruffles. Princesses.  The scenery and props of Pride and Prejudice combined with Cinderella’s wedding gown and horse drawn carriage (maybe not a pumpkin though) would be right on trend."  

1.  Color, color, color!! It doesn’t seem like you can go wrong with any colour palette. Some popular mixes are red cherry and lime, coral and grey, hot pink and black or white, mocha with soft pinks, light blue and aqua, and a mixture of oranges.

2. Themed weddings are back. Everything from the cake and invitations to dinner and the venue will tie into the theme. This travel themed wedding {featured on Hostess with the Mostess} is one of our favs!

3.  Romantic elegance is the biggie in 2012. This is where the princess part comes in.  Think silver or gold accents, chandeliers, English gardens, statues, ball gowns, hats and gloves, romantic candlelight, soft hair.

4.  Pets in the wedding party are still huge. Everyone will be oooing and ahhing over your sweet pup as he stumbles down the aisle to bring your rings. Some are even dressing them in tiny tuxes or dresses to match the wedding party.

5.  Dresses are romantic.  Victorian style dresses, horsehair trim, corsets, layers of soft ruffles, lace sleeves, two tiered skirts, short lengths and illusion necklines are a few of the big trends. It is also okay to add a little color this year. We are seeing dresses in light sage and blush — a beautiful addition.

We love these trends and are so excited to see more as the year progresses!!
