Wedding Wednesday {Trends}

This week's Wedding Wednesday features the top trends for Fall 2012 in the bridal world. For those of you planning a small get together or a big bash here are all the things you need to know for your special day.


Without further adieu, here are your



Top 10 Wedding Trends for Fall 2012


1. Ritzy Ranch Weddings

More and more we are seeing ranches and old venues used for ceremonies and receptions. Plain barns are brought to life through floral, lighting, and decor.




2. Long Sleeves & Lace

As we have all seen lace has made a giant step back into the world of fashion. As well as long sleeves with the trend of vintage. Strapless still lines dress stores but expect to see more coverage but with a twist. Like, sexy sheer backs. Lace is popping up on everything from cakes to decor!





3. Enchanting Flowers

With magical settings of fantasy movies like Twilight and Snow White, brides have much inspiration to work with. Think: soft and decadent floral. Whites and Neutrals are in big this season!







4. Watercolor Designs


Watercolor touches are being used on everything. Like dresses, invitations, and seating cards. Watercolors give weddings the perfect creative touch with a soft and whimsy look. Pastels like pink, and violet along with nudes are the "it" colors for this season. 






5. Bombshell Brides


Playing up your best features is what will bring your inner and outer beauty. This season it is all about the brides (hasn't is always been?). Whether it's the shapely dress you choose, your hair, eyes, or pouty lips, work it and everyone won't be able to stop staring!







6. The Panoramic Wedding Portrait


Following the trend of vintage inspired weddings, are the classic portraits. Some photographers are going for the more classic photo ops. Why not a panoramic photo of everyone at the wedding? Express the ideas and details you want captured with your photographer ahead of time. 





7. Snow White Wedding Dresses


Brides are opting out of the traditional white wedding dresses and going for a more mysterious and sexy vibe. Inspired by the films Snow White and The Huntsman and Mirror Mirror are giving bride's the idea of wearing a light and airy dress in different colors. 






8. Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties


Soon-to-be Brides and Grooms are opting of the party like events that usually consist of going out, booze, feather boas. Couples are having fun with friends doing awesome "activities". They boys are taking up race care driving, rock climbing, and even cattle herding! While the girls choose from an array of things from shopping & pedis to kick boxing. 





9. Wedding Videos


Couples are adding more to their videos rather that just "The Day Of." They are adding in snippets of personal trips, bridals, parties, etc. We are seeing more and more videos becoming more movie like as well. Forget that Plain Jane type wedding video and turn your special day into one romantic movie!


This is so cute!




10. Mega-Moons


Couples are opting on longer and more exotic Honeymoons. Bets are this is a better option! Sure, the price may be a little hefty, but you'll come back to the real world way too soon so make time to enjoy each other!
