5 Summer Wedding Trends for 2012
While classic weddings will never go out of style—which is why they’re called classic—this summer’s bride is making choices that break away from traditional trends. This summer, the bride and groom are masters of their domain! Here are 5 trends for 2012.
1. Non-Traditional Colors Today’s bride can choose pastel colors such as blush, blue, green and pink, to dramatic colors such as red or black and white. This summer’s color options are a full range of muted palettes to bold, tropical colors.
2. Bright Colors Pantone’s color of the year is Tangerine Tango, so it’s no shock that this summer’s colors are bright orange, peach, coral and tangerine. Grass green, teal and metallics are also being used. This is a great way to add pops of accent color to the bridesmaids’ and flower girl’s attire.
3. The Kate Although it’s summer wedding season, the elegant, long-sleeved look is a fascinating trend. This year, designers everywhere are creating looks inspired by the beautiful Kate Middleton. This summer’s bride can claim her very own “princess moment” thanks to Kate and her lacey, vintage look. Open lace can be surprisingly comfortable in the summer heat. If you lack the budget for a Kate inspired design, you can still have royal style by pairing your gown with a long-sleeved lace bolero which you can remove later.
4. Skirts Many of this year’s brides are opting to have their bridesmaids wear separates, like skirts and blouses. This is perfect for today’s more casual, relaxed ceremonies. It also opens the door for other current trends, such as mix-and-match, same style-different-color and same-color-different-style. Not only is this summer trend fun, but it allows more versatility for destination weddings and comfort in the summer heat.
5. DIY Many brides this summer are crafting their own look rather than getting it from a showroom. They’re creating a deeply personal look that’s meaningful to their heritage, culture and family history. Brides are also using DIY attire to have a beautiful wedding look while staying on budget.
