Can you believe 2012 is almost over?! It’s time to look back on 2012 and some of the fabulous wedding trends that sprouted from the imagination an creativity of seasoned professionals. Of course some may be passing fads … but, some are definitely worth keeping! In no particular order, here are the ones we would like to stick around for at least another year:
Inspiration Boards
Thanks in large part to Pinterest, this trend has enabled brides to see the big picture when it comes to their wedding story.
Unique Venues
Less than 5% of couples have their ceremony in a house of worship. Finding just the right place to celebrate your love is a charming way to spend time and express your individuality.
Colored Wedding Dresses
Jessica Biel and Reese Witherspoon both tied the knot in subtle shades of pink. Color is hot and you are guaranteed to see a lot more of it in 2013.
Mix It Up
Bridesmaids wearing different (but matching) gowns, making every single groomsmen’s boutonniere slightly different, brides wearing cowboy boots, having homespun touches at the reception. Breaking tradition is the new tradition!
Delaying the Honeymoon
According to Theknot.com about 25% of all couples delay their honeymoon by more than a week. It gives you time to unwind and prepare for the journey without feeling rushed.
