Looking Ahead At 2012 Trends

Well the new year has dawned so what better time to look at what trends lie ahead for
 this coming year.

It may be no surprised to know that yet again we expect Vintage to be a major trend, Victorian style dresses with full skirts, high necklines, delicate lace and tight corsets.






There will also be more brides including just a hint of colour to their gowns.


The other hit trend of this year i think will be Vintage Hollywood Glamour


I really love these 50's style dresses

To get the look you also need to think of a suitable hairstyle, how about these below?






Sleek styles, up do's with glamourous accessories


I think vintage themes should incorporate soft romantic colours, unless you are going for a bold Hollywood glamour theme.





I really fell in love with the photos inside the jars, what a lovely way to incorporate some special, personal memories.

Flowers will be soft romantic colours with big plush blooms such as peonis, with additional touches of pearls, beads or brooches.


I love this idea for bridesmaids

Honeymoons - Out this year are all inclusive hotels, In for 2012 are destinations such as Bali, Morocco and Nepal.

So i hope that will give some your you some inspiration,
what theme are you planning for your big day?

Brides Beware!


Dont let this be you, I hear about so many couples having their day ruined by suppliers, caterers or wedding venues going out of business and bankrupt. Even today a bride had her big day devastated by her venue closing down just 6 weeks before her special day.
 It's so easy to get carried away with all the finer details or favours, decor, flowers, forgetting one vital element, wedding insurance.
Too many brides are caught out and left dissapointed by losing their dream and their money often at the very last minuite.

So My advice? if you can possibly afford to, look into protecting yourself by taking out some wedding insurance, most companies offer different levels of protection, its just a matter of working out which cover is best for you. 
 If not the other alternative is to book using a credit card which will give you some protection.

Unfortunatly, if you live with a serious medical condition then it is impossible to get insurance cover.

So do your research, find a company that will best suit your needs

below are a few suggestions of websites to check out...
