2012 Wedding Trends

1st Wedding Trend

First trend is a trend that is saving brides money every day! Brides are choosing simple dresses for their bridesmaids compared to recent years. Simple is good which can always make the entire ensemble stand out. Why not choose a trend which allows bridesmaids to wear these dresses after the wedding. Most of the time we all know this is a one time purchase. Purple obnoxious dress is no longer here...... todays trend is all about the necklace. Simple elegance will win every time.

2nd Wedding Trend

The second oneis all about taking care of your guests. You always have to thank each person taking part in your day. This isn't anything new, we always need to do whatever it takes to make sure they all know how much we appreciate the help. The new idea is to leave them with a special drink such as flavored coffee or teas, as well as mini pastries, or mini donuts in a stick on top of the drink. You can be so creative with this new trend.

3rd Wedding Trend

Finally the third trend has been around for a little while, but its all about the registry. A honeymoon registry... This will help get the vacation/honeymoon you've been waiting for! Brides that have already been on their own or living with their husband already have all the pots and pans and kitchen appliances they need. A new toaster really? They all will love the honeymoon they couldn't have paid for themselves. So if your dream is to have the amazing honeymoon this trend is for you!

This is just a few ideas I've been reading about in 2012. Let these ideas lead you to new and exciting ideas of your own.

How to Select the Perfect Wedding Stationary

oliviascribe@gmail.com (Olivia Nicholas) — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:25:00 GMT

Learning how to select the perfect wedding stationary is an important element of planning the perfect wedding. The first things your guests will know about your wedding will be the clues given to them with your wedding stationary and the pieces of it that you select. The colors, styles and formatting of the envelope, inserts, print and paper all tell your guests about your wedding style. From formal to casual, elegant to fun, the wedding stationary you choose helps set the tone for your guests and your wedding.

There are a wide variety of types of wedding stationary a couple may choose to use. The colors, style, formatting and paper should blend seamlessly from one type of announcement to the next.

Calligraphy tends to imply a formal theme or elegance in tone. Red, white and black are very common choices of color with more formal, elegant themed weddings. Bold, brilliant hues suggest playfulness and fun, lending themselves well to tropical and ‘off-beat’ themes. Metallic colors in print and design also tend to say “formal” or “elegant” about a wedding theme.

Custom Rose Wedding Invitations

Roses have been associated with love for as long as I can remember, and is a popular choice among brides and grooms. I chose yellow roses as the flower for our wedding. My fiance couldn't have cared less about the flowers or their color. I chose yellow, because I liked the color, and considered it bright and cheery. It didn't matter to me what was written about the color yellow, by the experts. I couldn't have cared less about that.

If you or your intended or both have chosen roses to enhance your wedding day, I say choose a color that you like. Your personal reasons are what matter most. If you are interested in rose petals to add to the decor, may I suggest a green choice, of biodegradable rose petals. They are rose petals that have been freeze dried, and you can choose from a variety of colors.

To save money, you can choose from custom rose wedding invitations, that have already been designed, online. You can choose from a variety of styles and colors, then customize the text with your own wedding details. You can also order as few or as many wedding invitations that you choose. The price per invitation will improve as the quanity increases. Here you will find rose wedding invitations that have been designed by hand. They also have matching Save the dates and Postage Stamps to help you coordinate your wedding theme.

Selecting a Marriage Proposal Card

cheryl.paton@comcast.net (CherylsArt) — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:20:21 GMT

A marriage proposal card can be a reflection of who you are. It can convey more about your inner thoughts, as you have more time to think about the words that you would like to say, or have her read; and also the image that you would like her to see.

Shall it be fun; shall it be romantic? Shall it be serious or a little bit of everything? You know the answer to these. What kind of person are you? What kind of person is the one that you love? Do you love humor and does she? Do you like to go for long reflective walks or ones that are more adventurous? Ask these questions and more about yourself and your intended, and then about what you would like to achieve.

Is it a romantic dinner, or a sky diving adventure? Is it a frolicking good time in the waves, or cuddle time in a quiet place?

Give your proposal and proposal card some thought, and a well intentioned thought will lead you to the right choice.

Wedding Invitation Turns Into a Paper Record Player

danpooler@gmail.com (Dan Pooler) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:58:43 GMT

Bet you’ve never received a wedding invitation like this before: Folded just so, this card turns into a manually operated paper record player that plays a song recorded by the future bride and groom.

Designer Kelli Anderson wanted to create something original for the wedding of her friends Karen Sandler and Mike Tarantino, and look at (and listen to) the result. Wow.

If recipients aren’t pleased with the tinny sound of the hand-spun version, they can pop that “flexi-disc” out of the wedding invitation and let a conventional turntable do the spinning for them, where it’ll play just like any other record.

Take a look at the actual article here...

Diamond Clarity questions answered

Marketing@ZivaJewels.com (Ziva Jewels) — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 21:53:13 GMT

Clarity in a diamond refers to the absence of inclusions and blemishes in a diamond. Diamond clarity is graded on a scale from FL (flawless) to I3 (included 3)

What is an inclusion?

When it comes to diamonds, an inclusion is another name for a flaw. There are several kinds of inclusions, including carbon spots, air bubbles, internal cracks (feather cracks) and white points.

But inclusions aren’t necessarily all bad. For one, since every diamond has different inclusions in different places, inclusions serve as the diamond’s fingerprint. This can come in handy if the diamond is ever stolen because it allows the rightful owner to match the diamonds documentation with the diamond. The diamond’s inclusions should directly correspond to the inclusions mentioned in the diamond’s certification. If they don’t, chances are the documentation is fraudulent or belongs to a different diamond.

When it comes to diamonds, what is the difference between cut and shape?

Marketing@ZivaJewels.com (Ziva Jewels) — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 23:47:02 GMT

Think there isn't a difference? Guess again. If you're looking for an engagement ring, you need to know what each term refers to. .

The shape of the diamond refers to the silhouette and the look of the diamond. The most popular cut is the round brilliant (above left) because it creates a strong stone and maximizes sparkle. A round cut is also easier to insure than say a pear shape (above right) because a pear shaped diamond is more fragile. One of the drawbacks the round diamond its popularity makes it more expensive.

After the round brilliant, the most popular shape is the princess (above far left). Some other popular shapes are
