2012 Wedding Trends

Ready to rock your wedding? If you plan to get married in 2012, preparations are probably well underway. However, if you want to make sure you’re wedding is in step with zeitgeist, here are some trends top industry professionals predict will be haute, haute, haute in 2012!

• Splash Of Colour: While  gowns are still prominently white,  brides are adding a splash of their favourite colour with a beautiful sash, a vibrant pair of shoes or a stunning necklace with soft-coloured gems.

• The Communal Table: Long gone are the round tables with tall centrepieces. Couples are seating their guests at long communal tables with stunning low-riding flowers running down the centre. This allows the guests to see the person across from them and engage in great conversation without an obstructed view.

• Venues: Couples are seeking out unique venues that have relevance to them: a local hotel, a favourite restaurant or a historic landmark.

• Cakes And Sweets: “The cake no longer stands on its own; instead, it’s now the centrepiece of the sweet table full of gourmet candy and comfort food, milk, cookies and our personal favourite — pie pops.”
