Wedding Trends for 2012

Over the top and flashy? No more! In 2012 trends seem to be shifting toward more socially responsible, understated weddings. Instead of 1000 guests, brides choose 100 of their closest friends and family. They are spending less money on more eco-friendly things. Times are changing and here is how you can keep up!

GO GREEN! Choose locally grown flowers, recycled invitations and repurpose old items to become centerpieces. Guests will be wowed at your creativy rather than lavish spending.

VINTAGE! Celebrities are embracing old Hollywood styles and so can you! Achieve the "aged feel" by including a family tradition or putting old wedding photos from both families on the tables. Stop in at your local thrift store or antique store for awesome ideas on seating displays, table settings and decorations.

DO IT YOURSELF! Why spend extra money when there are things the 2012 bride can do herself? If you have the time and talent, many things can be home made. More and more brides are printing invitations, writing place cards and creating centerpieces. Dont bite off more than you can chew...try taking on one or two DIY projects.
