Spotting the trend..... by North East Wedding Planners

Defining the style of your wedding comes in many aspects, however for most brides inspiration comes from the much dreamed of wedding dress.  The North East Wedding Planning team visit many wedding industry trade shows and event showcases to spot up and coming trends.

So what is hot for this season ……..

Dressing the bride:
Dresses in 2011 are all about the detail.  Dresses are becoming more about romance with pearls and beading featured heavily.  Brides looking for simple shapes need not worry, there will still be plenty of delicate and graceful lines, but there are more opportunities to express your personality through detailing or adding accessories to your outfit.

Lace is big news in 2011 and will continue into 2012 as it can be used across the whole dress, just to accentuate the bodice or even as a shrug across the shoulders.  It’s also key to the vintage look that continues to be big in 2011, so if you’re looking for something really on trend, combine a classic shape with lace gloves and summer parasol.
Colour is being introduced to bridal gowns, influenced by the catwalk, more contemporary oyster shades, nudes and the palest pinks are all features of the couture bridal collections this summer, with stronger shades of plum and red for the autumn winter season.
 Accessories are key this year with no bride complete without a head piece containing feathers, lace or beading.

Colour themes:
The love of all things retro and vintage continues with very elegant and formal colours.  Navy, sage greens, creams and deep plums all feature but are accentuated with a modern twist.  So navy could be teamed with lime green or fuchsia to create the wow factor.  These colours are certainly for the brave and have to be used carefully.

 A palette of barely there oyster, vintage pink, soft peaches and creams are often more flattering against the UK complexion and look fabulous with the more romantic dress styles.  These types of colours can be used throughout a venue they are so delicate – repeat use of them really enhances a look.  Spring and summer weddings are perfect for these colours.
