 The Vintage theme remains popular for 2012, and here is some quick inspiration for you! Consider a classic colour scheme of red, white and black, add feathers for texture, and hang vintage champagne posters on the walls to carry the theme to every surface. Red roses or white carnations are a classic choice for bouquets and centerpieces, and don't forget LOTS of candlelight for ambiance. Presto - you've got a vintage Hollywood inspired wedding! Happy planning! |

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and were as blessed as I was! To those of you newly engaged, congratulations! If you're a first-time reader, welcome!
As tends to happen at the beginning of the year, there's been much talk in the wedding world lately of trends for 2012. Pantone has announced that the "colour of the year" for 2012 is Tangerine Tango, a juicy, rich and red-based orange that is sure to appear in many a wedding in 2012. |

 In the past couple of years, non-floral bouquets have been gaining popularity among trendy brides. As a Planner, I love the opportunity these funky bouquets provide to incorporate aspects of my couples' personalities. For example: - musicians could include paper flowers made from sheet music
- people who sew could make pretty fabric blooms
- jewellery makers could hand-bead gorgeous flowers for a blingy bouquet
- heirloom brooches and pins can be used to incorporate the couples' heritage
- inspired chefs could create bouquets from herbs or berries

 Traditionally, couples have accented their wedding colours with standard white and black, as these neutrals compliment any colour scheme, and are readily available in linens and decor items. Recently, and to this Planner's great excitement, intrepid couples have expanded their palettes and their themes to include gray, a fresh neutral that packs a big punch. From pale dove gray to classy pewter to strong charcoal, there are endless tones to choose from, all of which work exceptionally well together, and with virtually any other colour palette. |

 I don't know about you, but this Planner was glued to the television last Friday morning as the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot. The story of Wills and Kate is infinitely romantic, not to mention how beautiful they both are! Obviously, not everyone can have a wedding on the scale of the royals, but many of the details were so personal and well planned that they fit perfectly into the Unmistakably You wedding philosophy. Following are a few ways that you, too, can have a wedding fit for a royal. |

 We’ve all heard of the candy buffet, which is a fun, interactive way to both decorate your space and give your guests a favour they’ll love. If candy buffets just aren’t your thing, however, there are lots of ways you can incorporate the stunning visual display and allow your guests to personalize their favours without the candy. As always, you’re only limited by your imagination. Purchasing the containers for a buffet of any kind can be expensive. You may be interested in renting them instead. |

 Food stations are becoming a popular way to get guests mixing and mingling at your wedding. The traditional plated meal has guests seated at their specified table all evening, and limits their ability to converse with other people at the wedding. It also restricts guests to only the food on their plate, without the option of second servings. This planner loves the idea of setting up your meal in stations, or at least partially in stations, so that guests can mix it up all evening and choose only the food they love. |

 A very fun and funky alternative to traditional wedding flowers, billy balls and succulents are emerging as a popular trend among unique couples. Billy balls, also known as billy buttons, drumsticks, orCraspedia, are native to Australia, but have been cultivated in North America since the 1980s. They’re available from late spring to early fall. Sturdy and structural, they add a geometric look to centerpieces or bouquets. |
