Wedding Trends for the 2011-2012 Season

We’re still seeing lots of deep, bold colors, but what other 2012 wedding trends will we be seeing?

We’ll be seeing deep, bold colors, such as sapphire blue & eggplant, but we will also be starting to see more neutrals (such as charcoal gray and taupe),

as well as sherbet-y pastels (think pistachio, peach & lemon).

The glam of metallics is still hot as ever (with gold being a favorite!).

There will still be lots and lots of pink – from a sweet blush to dramatic raspberry.

2012 wedding trends for bridal attire is dresses and gowns that feature fun accents – sashes and belts, bolero jackets, and colorful beading on the bodice and skirt. We’ll be seeing more sleeves, lace, and illusion necklines.

For the men, pocket squares instead of (or as well as) boutonnieres will be popular.

In 2012 we’ll be seeing more pattern – including paisley, damask, and ikat – in attire and décor.

More couples will have a photo booth at their reception – either an actual professional booth, or a DIY version.

Wedding bouquets and centerpieces will include more non-traditional elements, such as feathers, paper flowers, and fruit.
