Wedding Ideas & Trends: Colour & Design
by Cloydon Dreamdecor (www.cloydondreamdecor.com) (Cloydon review)
1. Brooch Bouquets - surrounded by vintage jewels create personalized and unique arrangements such as this gorgeous brooch bouquet (photo, right).
2. More floral alternatives for bouquets include painted paper flowers, beaded accents or buttons.
3. Liqueur sampling stations - wine and champagne stations will create the ‘wow-factor’ at any after-dinner station.
4. Opt for non-alcoholic samplings with a specialty teas station, a kids mocktails station that serves Shirley Temples and Metropolitans with big red cherries in tall sunday glasses.
5. Add nostalgia to design and fashion. Recycle and wear your mother or grandmother’s wedding dress or incorporate your parents’ wedding photos into the décor.
6. Concentrate on colour. 2012 will feature a rich palette with a smoky cast. Look for jewel colours such as emerald, ruby, coral and peacock blue. On the other end of the spectrum, watch for what we call ‘Lipstick,’ with bold glossy reds and dark pinks paired with flesh tones.
7. Grey is the new black. Grey is the neutral ‘it’ color for this year’s weddings. Organic and natural, shades of charcoal, dove, stone, oyster and shell will be incorporated liberally into wedding color palettes and paired with vibrant hues to make the colours pop!
8. We’re mad for metallics & bold colour palettes! Whether it’s two bright hues with a metallic accent, or several metallic shades used together, brights and metallics will be popular choices for wedding colour palettes in 2012. Think gilded gold, shimmery silver and sparkling champagne - used alone or with accents of yellow, purple or teal.
9. Luxurious textures. Fabrics will bring a sumptuous, opulent vibe to 2012 weddings. Wedding dresses will feature 3D appliqué, layered light fabrics (tulle, lace, chiffon), romantic ruffles, oversized florals, and illusion fabric with eye-catching beading.
10. Layers & texture. Tables will be layered to dress up the reception, chair covers may be embroidered or beaded, and branchy centerpieces will dominate the wedding event.
