Another very important part of your big day is your HAIR! We feel awful for those who got married in the 80’s and chose to have hair that was larger than life. For all of you getting married in 2012, we hope you’ll be going for something more subtle. For summer you will be seeing very whimsical, intricate hair. It’s a natural look, that is soft on the face, and can look classic. For up-do’s, they will be lower, similar to the one Leighton Meister is rocking. You won’t be seeing any perfect curls or lots of hair spray, but you will still be seeing lots of small braids weaved into the style. But this summer, wearing our hair down will be all the rage! You want to go for one of the two looks. Either old Hollywood glam (like Megan Fox), or soft, sexy, slight curls (like Jessica Biel). You have to consider the style of your dress, your venue, and theme when choosing your hair style. But, with all three of there looks, you can’t go wrong. You will still love your wedding pictures 10 years from now.

Makeup is one of the most important elements on you big day! The colors, amount, and products you use on your wedding will stay with your forever because it will be captured in every photo. The trick to looking fabulous without hating your pictures 10 years down the line is to go with a classic look, but a trendy twist. For 2012 the monochromatic look is very chic, which is great for brides, as long as you go neutral. There will be more focus on the lips and cheeks rather than the eyes, we won’t be seeing heavy eyeliner anywhere (accept on Jersey Shore). Everything will be very clean and fresh just like the Kim Kardashian picture above. Corals and nude-gold are going to be the biggest hit. A personal favorite at Kismet is the classic Marilyn Monroe, each year you can switch it up depending on the tends, for example last year red lips were HUGE. This year you can tone down the look with more nude shades, as seen in Megan Fox picture. To get this look try the Urban Decay “Naked Palette” It has all the colors you need for the year.

These two beautiful arrangements were for an exquisite wedding at one of our favorite locations in Southern California; The Richard Nixon Library. It’s a great alternative to a hotel if you are looking for an indoor wedding. The color scheme was cream, gold and deep red. The arrangements include roses, cabbage, and hydrangeas as well as other flowers. Round arrangements are always a hit!

Wedding trends for 2012 will be largely inspired by Twilights Breaking Dawn! Everything from the ring to the ceremony. You will see many DIY enchanted forest themed weddings with elements from Breaking Dawn. Heres the scoop! The shoes you can purchase through Manolo Blahnik in black or white with the price tag of $1,295. The 4 1/4″ satin are very unique, with crystal-encrusted vine detailing. Next is the exquisite dress, you will be seeing a LOT of lace for 2012, as well as more coverage. The original handmade dress from the movie was designed by Ms. Herrera and took 6 months to complete, the value was estimated at $35,000. Ms. Herrera plans to include the design in her 2012 collection and it will be available this year at her CHNY boutiques. But, you can get your hands on a replica sold by Alfred Angelo for $799. Thats a steal!!! As for the ceremony you will be seeing many people do a forest-esqe themed wedding, a minimal version of Bella and Edward’s wedding. You will also see a lot of outdoor weddings, and couples getting married under trees.
