There
are certainly mixed reviews about what the wedding trends and bridal
themes will be in Spring/Summer 2013. However there does seem to be a
noticeable link to the change in the seasons encompassing colour,
organic textures, natural elements and ecofriendly elegance!
A
real natural feel featuring trees and branches, olive greens, duck egg
blue, warm oranges and effortless shades of brown. ‘Love Birds’ will
also be seen quite widely this spring – with silhouettes of two little
birds frequenting on personalised invitations, serviettes, chocolate
wrappers, aisle runners stubby holders and koozies. Along with little
tweeting figures added to bird nest bowls and decorations, bird houses
for the centrepiece on the table, birdie themed cake toppers and fancy
cages as a fun place to collect the cards from your guests.
Elegant
and ecofriendly is definitely on the cards for this season, if you are
planning to include some more organic and natural elements to your
theme, then you could consider using stones as your place name holders
for your tables, fill little gift bags with seeds that can be planted or
scattered for the birds!
Why
not create the perfect pot-plant for the bridesmaids to carry instead
of the usual posies or bouquets as a fun way to really bring the spring
garden to your wedding, choose a flower that suits the colour scheme of
your wedding so that they can become the table centre piece decorations
and then be replanted after the event – why not match it with a flower
pot style cake too!
Here
at Coolaz we have made every effort to create our coolers using
products and materials that are better for the environment - we use
water based inks that have no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and
water based acrylic glues instead of the heavier rubber glues used in
the standard neoprene types. We also use a toy and food grade foam for
the interior of our coolers and have a lovely bright carrot orange or
spring green that could be great for an organic theme.
The
waterproof protective laminate to the outer of our cooler can easily be
wiped clean, this means that we can create simple designs with mostly
white in the background to use less inks and offer a clean organic feel
to your design. Also, because our coolers are made with a light-weight
foam and pack flat they are very economical to freight, plus all of our
products are designed and made in our factory in Mornington, VIC
resulting in a lower carbon footprint!
Completely
opposite to the natural elements of spring comes the bright a bold
colours of a summer rainbow! Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue Purple,
Pink … all of these colours are acceptable this summer and you guessed
it … all at once!! You can keep everything else simple with white,
cream or even black bridesmaid dresses for the wedding and then a bold
choice of shoes and flowers to match – each girl can have a different
colour of the rainbow for a fantastic look!
Dress
up a simple cake with bright decorations, and choose decorations,
ribbons and flowers to match – each table at your reception could have a
different colour theme!
SURPRISE…!!!
This is a huge thing this year and there are so many ways that you can
bring an element of surprise into your wedding. Why not show your
individuality and add a truly personal touch - if you are a fan of flats
and not big on heels then why not wear a bridal gown that falls right
to the floor and hide a pair of sneakers underneath?! Or perhaps you are
known for a favourite colour or have a nickname that can be represented
by a particular colour – then your surprise could be your bridal shoes …
with some bright killer heels under your white dress – you could even
match into your bridesmaid colours or flowers!
Wedding Dresses in Fashion
Some
particular styles of bridal gowns this season include the Peplum – this
modern style has a real retro feel to it. Peplum dresses look stunning
in both short and long styles and have an additional short overskirt or
ruffle attached at the waistline.
Short
dresses will be big this summer, so if you’ve got great legs then show
them off! If you prefer a longer look for your wedding then perhaps it
wold be nice to have a shorter version for the reception as a second
dress!
Black
and white dresses are showing up every season and will continue to be
loved. The contast of dark and light is simply exquisite and will be
seen for a very long time.
Of
course with the Royal wedding still hanging fond in our memory, the
cowl neck dress will be really popular for the next few seasons – this
inspiration comes from Pippa Middleton’s stunning look at the wedding of
Kate & William!
One
big difference this year is the coloured wedding gown... this won’t be a
trend that will suit everyone however if it is the way to go for you
then there are so many styles and colours to choose from - check out our
coolers to match each colour too. some favourite colours include;
Red,
Maroon, Deep Burgundy, Midnight Blue, Navy Blue, Spring Green, Olive
Green, Aqua Blue and Duck Egg Blue along with the Classic White and
Ivory Wedding Dress.
Happy Wedding Planning!
