If you read bridal magazines or blogs you know that every year, every season for that matter wedding trends change. 2012 will be no different bringing fun new trends with it. The Royal Wedding: Hello to old world glamour!! From hats and facinators to white bridesmaids dresses 2012 brings the regal wedding back in style. There have been multiple reports that sleeves and lace are highly desired in dresses for next year. Ivory and cream in floral will carry the sophisticated old world glamour style through out the ceremony and reception. Pets: They are part of your family, why should they be left out of your wedding? You can incorporate your furry 4 legged friend into your wedding in lots of different ways. They could be the ring bearer, flower dog, part of the wedding part or just an honored guest. (A word of advice: make sure your pet is well behaved and just as with children in the wedding know before hand that things might not go as planned. Have someone who the animal know and is comfortable with that can take control if needed.) Specialty Tasting stations: Tasting stations will be all the rage! Best part about this is it can be completely tailored to your wedding style/theme. Liquor tasting stations, wine and cheese sampling, a coffee bar, build your own ice cream sandwich bar, the options are limitless!! Along with tasting stations, liquid catering (or alcohol catering) will be in high demand. Dessert buffets: For a while we have seen trends moving away from the traditional 3 tier wedding cake with the introduction of cupcakes and candy buffets. While those trends will still be popular the new trend leans towards dessert buffets. What a great way to give your guests variety. From miniature desserts to cupcakes to flambe stations your guests will be thrilled to feed their sweet tooth with a variety of offerings. Grooms cakes: This trend has come and gone over the years but it will be hot in 2012. Such a great way to bring your grooms personality to the reception and get him involved. Dresses: Wedding dress trends for 2012 are ultra-romantic and dramatic compared to past years. There are lots of oversized flowers, extravagant beeding and large tiered skirts. Themes: Themes will be HUGE in 2012 and we are not talking just a simple color palette. They will be full scale incorporating everything from the save the dates, to the flowers and desserts. This is a great way to weave your personality as a couple, have fun with it and make your wedding your own.
