In any particular year certain trends emerge among the rich and famous especially when it comes to marriages. So what's been 'hot ' in 2012?
One surprising trend is a movement towards what could be called a rustic touch. When Natalie Portman married Benjamin Millepied they included a vegan banquet and wildflower seeds as favours. Accompanying that were wildflower decorations. Likewise Drew Barrymore kept it easy by hosting her marriage in a garden bursting with roses and other pink flowers.
We've also seen assorted celebs going for the casual look at their marriage. Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) and Dawn Porter, for example, wore tracksuits for their reception. Certainly comfy (maybe they're getting ready to run from paparazzi). Jake Own and Lacey Buchanan went for shoes-off and khakis for their beach front wedding. Here's hoping no sand got in the cake!
A third trend in celebrity weddings can be described with one word: color, and heaps of it. By miles pink has been the new white this year. Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway and Gwen Stefani are 3 important faces in the new colour trend. Having designers like Vera Wang bringing pink into her line certainly doesn't hurt its renown. Also having mags like Brides making the 'Something Pink ' initiative for breast cancer research, and you have the perfect recipe for seeing pink for a few more seasons. Mind you it's not just romantic pink making an appearance. We are seeing a lot more and more wedding dresses in purple and red. Amber Tamblyn of General Hospice fame wore a bright yellow dress for her nuptials.
The fourth wedding trend among celebs isn't actually anything new it just hasn't disappeared: the giant engagement band. While intended to make a statement, a few of these rings look like mountains on tiny hands. Kim Kardashian received a diamond that weighed in at over 20 carats. Overcompensation didn't seem to help that marriage, so maybe less is really better.
Eventually it might appear that celebrity marriages are going to the dogs literally. Adam Sandler brought his bulldogs who walked down the aisle together with the remainder of the wedding party. Similarly Gavin Rossdale (Gwen Stafani's man) brought his sheepdog carrying the marriage band in a tote bag. Warning: this is not a choice that all venues support.
Mind you all these style statements don't mean the modern bride can't go back to conventional white and sensible jewellery. The idea of a faster reception certainly holds appeal from a budget perspective. In other words, take these ideas with a pinch of salt. It is, in fact , your marriage and you can host it without the Hollywood glitz and glam.
