New Trends in Wedding Accessories
Are you wondering what the upcoming trends for wedding accessories are? Brace yourselves! This article gives you a sneak peek into what’s bound to happen in the world of weddings this coming 2012. From the bridal shoes and purses to the bridesmaids’ jewelry and everything in between, this quick but comprehensive guide on 2012 wedding accessory trends will certainly help you make the right choices when you start shopping for your big day. It will not only lessen your stress and anxiety but also ensure that your accessories complement your wedding, which should be nothing short of perfect.
Color, color, color!
Remember the good old days when brides only had one choice on the wedding motif color and they had to stick to that? If they chose green, they’ll go green all throughout. If they decide to have pink, pink it is. If they pick yellow, you’ll be seeing yellow until the wedding is over. This is not a true story anymore.
Nowadays, brides can experiment with color. They have the freedom to include more colors. In fact, the more the better! Experts also encourage brides to brighten it up. Mixed palettes that come with different hues are going to be big this year particularly for the jewelry sets. Rainbows of glittering Swarovski crystals would play up the already beautiful wedding. Chunky necklaces, earrings and bracelets that play with colors are expected to give off a hot look for 2012.
Bridal shoes: as festive as they can be
Bridal shoes used to be white, as if that was the only color allowed. A few years ago, some brides have begun wearing shoes in other colors. This started with a fad some time ago when brides donned pale blue stilettos for their something blue. Others started wearing pink and other pastel shades. But for this coming year, expect brides to be more daring in their choice of footwear.
Bridal shoes coming out on 2012 are even more colorful, dramatic and eye-catching that they have ever been. Coral blue pumps adorned with crystal embellishments, silver stilettos with glittery butterflies, and bright orange ballet flats with sequins and beads—these are just some of the shoes that you can imagine being worn down the aisle. But if you prefer the classic white but would like to be trendy still, go for the platform pumps dressed with sparkly items so you can go make the statement that you’ve always wanted without leaving the traditional look behind.
What about the evening bag?
Let’s get on to the evening bag. It’s one of the most vital accessories of the bride. Going big this coming year are jewelry clutches, which are small hard-frame clutches covered entirely with sparkly Swarovski crystals. And as you can imagine, these bags are going to be as colorful as they can be—from hot pink to bright yellow to dramatic crimson. The overly colorful bags work only well if you’re not yet splashed down with colors. For example, if you’ve chosen neutral shades for your jewelry, don’t hesitate from using a vibrant bag.
It’s the hat that completes the look
Remember the royal wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate? What’s one thing that you can never forget about it? Kate’s wedding dress? William’s adorable smile? The millions of fans that gathered around the venue? Apart from all those, who could forget the outrageous hats? It’s not a surprise that whimsical hats with feathers have become a popular accessory for the bridesmaids. Combine the feathers with organza roses and other embellishments that will give the hat a one-of-a-kind look.
Let’s go vintage!
Another trend that will hit it huge this year is the vintage style. Chandelier earrings, Art Deco bracelets, and Edwardian style pendants—all these are wonderful add-ons that accentuate the bride’s beautiful gown. Whether you’re having a classic wedding or not, you can play it up a bit with these intricately designed accessories.
The bottom line is this: 2012 is challenging brides to be more creative, daring, and adventurous. Don’t let fashion rules dictate you where you need to go. Let your inner style and personality shine through when you choose the accessories to don for your special day. Have fun in your shopping!
