For a bride-to-be, one of the most fun parts of planning a wedding is shopping for accessories. After deciding on the wedding dress, bridal hairstyle and the theme of the wedding, going accessory-hunting will complete your overall look as the bride. So if you are saying your "I dos" for 2012, what are the hottest trends in bridal accessories that you can go for to complete your look? That is exactly what we will learn more about here.
Color Is Definitely In!
As a bride, it is entirely up to you to decide which color, pattern, theme or design regarding different aspects of the wedding it is that you should go for. If you're not that much of a fashionista and you prefer to stick with classic, elegant lines, you can simply incorporate a few trendy touches on your wedding. For instance, if you have chosen a vintage-inspired lace gown as your bridal dress, you can pair it with a few trendy accessories.
For 2012, color is definitely in when it comes to choosing bridal accessories. The brighter the color, the better. Unlike back in the days when there is one dominant hue which can usually be seen in wedding reception venues, the trend for 2012 veers more towards a combination of bright color patterns. By using a mixed color palette of different hues, you can choose which jewelry set to wear to complete your bridal look.
Let's say that you have an ecru gown and you are looking for trendy accessories to pair it with. Following the 2012 trend for bridal accessories, you can wear a chunky bracelet which is made from multi-colored Swarovski crystals. Pair this with a simple pair of earrings. Or, instead of the bracelet being the highlight of your accessories, you can wear chandelier earrings instead. The same thing holds true for necklaces.
When putting your bridal look together, just make sure that all the jewelry and bridal accessories you are wearing all go together. If you think that it's too much, stick to the chunky bracelet and pair it with simpler earrings; or a coordinated jewelry set of earrings, necklace and bracelet.
Fab Bridal Shoes & Bag
Aside from a rainbow of colors, another hot trend for 2012 is for the bride to wear standout shoes and bags. If you're having an evening wedding, go for an elegant bridal hairstyle, gown and pair it with a fabulous clutch. As for the shoes, some specific styles include coral silk pumps with crystal embellishments, hot pink ballet flats or royal blue pumps decorated with flowers or butterflies.
Be Fascinated with Fascinators
Since the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William was held in the early part of 2011, American women have been fascinated with the British's practice of wearing fascinators in weddings. You can borrow this trend by wearing a fascinator which should be paired with the appropriate bridal hairstyle.
Whether or not you're the type of bride to follow trends, it still pays to be aware of what the latest bridal trends are so that you can decide which ones you will incorporate in your own wedding.
