Seven Sizzling Trends for 2012

In early December, I had the privilege of participating in a 2012 Wedding Trends chat with Anja Winikka, Senior Editor of The Knot.  Read on for Seven Sizzling Trends from that chat!

1.  The Royal Wedding had a major impact on many brides-to-be. A significance so great that we can expect to see a return to tradition and the more classic wedding.

2.  Formal and smart calligraphy will embody the classic wedding this year.

3. Couples are opting to make a statement with their menus.  Expect to see dinner menus that are a welcome replacement to the traditional chicken and fish {Yawn}.

4.  Creating a focal point at your reception has always been a way to allow your guests to be awed at your wedding, and this year will find the cake table taking centerstage at the reception.  This trend is in stark contrast to years past, where the cake table was an afterthought.  With Cake Masters such as Sylvia WeinstockAnne Heap and Ron Ben-Israel designing awe inspiring cakes that tingle the taste buds, the cake should be center stage!

 5. Lighting design and rental upgrades are a priority for brides who want to make a stylish and chic statement with their wedding. 

6.  Greater demand for event designers rather than just the traditional logistics wedding planner of the past.

7.  Touches of color are no longer just for the "offbeat bride."  Pantone recently announced "Tangerine Tango" as the 2012 Color of the Year.  We've just designed a Tangerine Tango & Mimosa color (Yellow) palette for an April 2012 wedding.  The bride is stylish, modern and chic and this palette is a perfect reflection of her personality!

Your wedding should be a true reflection of you and your personal style.  Don't be reluctant to find creative and stylish ways to be fabulous on your wedding day!
