Top 25 Bridal Trends of 2012 pt. 3

13. Look for bright and flamboyant color combinations to turn heads and brighten the day. Think about eye popping oranges and yellows, electric fuchsias and reds, peacock palettes, bright royal blues and even brighter golds.

14. Chalkboards: I know your probably thinking "ummm, seriously?!" Yes, I'm serious and I for one am all for things that are different. As I said earlier, letting your guests know your personality really makes your wedding a memorable day. Especially when it comes out in the original, cute and quirky fashion. Details like seating, drinks that are in your bar, or the menu for the night can be written in beautiful calligraphy with a permanent pen. That way you don't have to worry about little hands touching it or it accidentally being rubbed off.

15. Diamonds, sparkle, and all things BLING! Need I say more? Shiny stones can be added to cakes, bouquets, table decor. I think it adds that special wow factor too...as long as you don't over do it.

16. Centerpieces...that hang from above. Flowers, lighting and yes... bling can be hung from centerpieces to add fancy flair to your event.

17.  Vintage, Vintage, Vintage:  I love nostalgic things.  Victorian dresses (see #1), brooches, birdcage veils, pearls.  Think of  fashion was from the Roaring 20's.  Or, if that's not your quite your style maybe you have an older relative who can't make it your wedding.  Perhaps you can honor them by incorporating their picture  in your bouquet.  You can't get anymore vintage than that.


18.  Couple Trivia:  Add an extra quirk of fun to your wedding by teaching your guests somethings about you as a couple that they never knew.  How did you meet? What's your favorite song?  Where did you get engaged?  Facts like these on beverage napkins are great for conversation during cocktail hour and keeps your guests interacting with each other.
