Susan Murray Blog: Spring/Summer 2012

Need a little pick-me-up to get through this long gloomy winter? Take a look at some of the fabulous trends in weddings, fashion and event decor. Spring/Summer looks bright, bold and colorful, it's bound to warm you up!

Weddings

Wedding season is fast approaching as brides search for the perfect band, caterer and venue but more importantly for the perfect dress! In the world of bridal fashion structured bodests, ruching and ruffles seem to be a popular trend among designers. Lace is a classic look that still has a large presence in wedding gown designs.

Splashes of colour in the wedding gown is the perfect way to complete the entire event look. Try a coloured belt or if your not so traditional why wear a white dress at all? Try a pale pink, green or ivory!

Event Décor

Event Décor is moving in the same direction as runway fashion and wedding fashion, bright colors and bold prints! Ruching, ruffles, over lays and texture are just a few of the trends you'll see this coming season.

You'll notice event venues over flowing with florals for spring/summer events. Large floral arrangements with brightly colored flowers will be a large focus in an event space.

Planners are paying closer attention to detail when decorating a space constantly looking for new ways to add a personal touch to unique pieces of the event space. Unique chair covers, receiving tables and pillows are just a few ways you could create the perfect event theme to represent you.
