Weddings are so much fun and, just when you think
you’ve seen it all, new wedding trends pop up that surprise and excite all over
again. The year 2012, will prove to be no different. Some of the following top
10 wedding trends are new, some are the resurgence of an old idea and others
are a unique twist on an old favorite.
1.A Royal influence is expected in 2012. From Kate’s
dress, her sister’s white bridesmaid’s dress and a revival of hats, everything
and anything related to the royal wedding will be a popular wedding trend.
Americans have long been enthralled by everything Royal and this latest royal
nuptial will surely influence wedding trends for years to come.
2.A popular wedding idea for the reception is
specialty stations. We have seen them in the past, but they will explode in
2012. From liquor tasting stations to coffee bars with baristas, what type of
specialty station to have at your wedding is only limited by your imagination.
In fact, depending on your theme, you could even venture to include a cigar bar
or have an entire reception centered on the idea of hosting wine and cheese
sampling.
3.Jewels are another fashionable new wedding trend
yet not in the way that you’d think. Jewels sparkle everywhere in the seasons
to come. They adorn everything from the bride’s hair to the bouquet. Some
creative bakeries are even adding a little bling to the wedding cake for a
unique look.
4.Wedding themes are back with a vengeance. And, why
not? Themes are fun for everyone involved, from the wedding party to the
guests. There really is something to be said about hunting down the perfect
wedding reception site or favor for your chosen theme. A winery would be the
perfect setting for a themed wedding. Likewise, a beachfront ceremony lends
itself to a sea theme. You can even go for a non-traditional theme like Christmas
in July or a medieval themed wedding held at a Shakespeare Festival. It’s your
wedding; have fun.
5.The dessert table gains more ground over the
traditional cake again in 2012. In fact, it has now expanded to include a
variety a specialty items. Guests love the idea of getting up when they’re
ready and picking out one or two special treats. Thoughtful brides love being
able to offer everyone’s favorite with this option. Miniature cheesecakes,
single-serve key lime pies and ice cream sundae bars with a plethora of
toppings all fit the bill and satisfy the sweet tooth. Believe it; no one will
be watching the calories on the day of the event.
6. Your wedding
is a once in a lifetime event. Whether you choose one of the above wedding
trends or prefer to stick with tradition, make your wedding day memorable.
