| 10 Hot Wedding Trends |
| From runway fashion and edible favours to personalised celebrations, the latest wedding trends in 2011 and 2012 are all about imprinting your blissful day with your unique style. |
Sashay in Bridal Chic
Brides can look forward to fashion themes in both classic designs and modernism, with dynamic shapes, luscious fabrics and a floral slant. Romanticism overloaded the runways with an abundance of tulle, chiffon, organza, super-light taffeta and lace, as well as delicate silk petals fluttering up and down entire length of gowns, and giant flower dresses. Short is also definitely an option to consider for this season's bride, be it knee-length, minis, super minis and even shorts. Spell ooh-la-la with a hot-pant romper beneath a sheer, floaty organza overskirt.
Hair-ccessorise
Low, loose buns and high, neat ballet-inspired hairstyles (think Black Swan) take centrestage. Hairpins are the perfect accessories for these styles, from a simple chic pearl pin to a more detailed decorative tassle. For brides who like to break tradition, go for jewelled bands and chains worn across the forehead. Together with a vintage-style dress and loose flowing waves, the look is pure boho-chic. Hair combs are still very popular; they add the perfect amount of detail to your look. Match simple hairstyles with lavish hair accessories, stunning hats and/or high quality veils. The shorter trains and veils (particularly the bird cage veil) are popular as are pretty boleros, and shawls.
All Decked Out
Lightweight fabrics, including organza, lace, tulle and chiffon, can either make perfect wraps by reducing sun exposure on bare arms and shoulders, or provide you with some cosy comfort from the air-conditioning. Pearls and diamonds remain the top jewellery choices for necklaces and earrings, while crystal adornments are popular for the dress, in the hair, bridesmaids' handbags and shoes or on the bouquet handle. For something unconventional and just a little more daring, try body jewellery stickers fastened along the décolletage.
