5 Wedding Trends of 2012


5  Creative Wedding Trends for 2012

If you are engaged, or are soon to be so, take a moment to imagine that it’s your wedding day. What kind of dress are you wearing? Does the overall look and feel of your wedding reflect your individual style? When it comes to wedding design, the sky really is the limit. But with so many options, it can be difficult to decide what works best for you. To inspire you, we spoke with a few wedding vendors in the Fairfield County area about some creative ideas that are quickly becoming top 2012 trends. You may even want to integrate them into your own wedding!


1. Taking a minimalist approach. 

One trend that we’re seeing this year is a minimalist approach to wedding design. Simple elegance and subtle hues like peach, pale pink, and lilac are very "in" this season.


2. Menus with a touch of flair. 

I recently read a 2012 Catersource trends survey that detailed an interest in serving up dishes with an entertaining twist. The article described how do-it-yourself food stations that allow guests to participate in the meal are becoming very popular. Entertaining food stations with lights, ice sculptures, and more can make for a creatively entertaining dinner.

3. Integrating super foods into the menu. 

Incorporating super foods such as honey, pomegranate, spinach, and quinoa into wedding menus is another creative 2012 trend for weddings. Such ingredients are full of antioxidants and other nutrients that will leave your guests feeling satisfied and refreshed while providing a unique taste.

4. Watercolor designs. 

One of The Knot’s top 10 wedding trends of 2012 is watercolor designs on invitations, table designs, and more. Watercolors add a fresh, vibrant, and classy touch to any wedding. Click here to read about more top 2012 wedding trends from The Knot.


5. Royal wedding-inspired dresses. 

One trend that emerged from the 2011 royal wedding is a wedding dress look centered on classy lace. Long sleeves and lace will be a trend to watch, along with off-the-shoulders sleeves made of delicate lace.
