Each year the bridal industry sees trends that take weddings by storm. We have seen bright colors incorporated into wedding gowns, flowers you may not normally see in wedding bouquets, and high-energy choreographed dances. As we look back at 2012, here are a few of this years favorite trends we saw.
1. The first look photos.
We are seeing these first glance photos more and more. Couples are choosing to actually see each other before their ceremony, but getting that precious first glance on camera makes such a great keepsake photo for their album.
2. Food truck catering.
Wedding food is not always served buffet or sit-down style. Some couples are choosing to think outside the box and provide food trucks for their catering. It is a casual, fun approach to feeding your guests, and the type of food can vary from gourmet to state fair favorites.
3. Signature drinks.
Adding personality to your wedding can be done in a variety of ways. One thing that couples are doing to add a personal touch is providing a signature drink for their guests. This cocktail can be one they both love, a drink made to match their wedding colors, or a beverage to match the theme of their event.
4. Dessert Table
Traditionally speaking, the wedding cake has been viewed as the “dessert” of a wedding. Todays bride may choose to not only serve cake, but offer a dessert table for her guests to enjoy. Several small, single serve desserts are arranged on a table and guests are given many choices for their sweet tooth preferences.
There are no rules when it comes to making your wedding your own. By adding your own personal touches you not only create your perfect day, but you also give your guests a wedding experience they will always remember. So, as 2012 comes to an end, what were some favorite wedding trends you noticed this year?
