weddings

Wedding themes are certainly not going out of style, according to the 2012 trend reports we’re seeing lately. In fact, they’re back and are hotter—and more creative—than ever.

For the fourth year in a row, Summit Entertainment brought on producers Chad Hudson Events to create the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn premiere launch at the L.A. Live entertainment complex.

Hiring a photographer or videographer to capture wedding memories is a given these days, but have your bridal couples ever considered a wedding painter? Rather than a camera, these artists use canvas to preserve the occasion, setting up their easels at the ceremony and reception.

A wedding after party? Why not? This growing trend appeals to many just-wedded couples who don’t want to stop celebrating just because the reception is over. It’s typically out-of-town guests and younger folk who want to keep dancing and they are using night clubs, hotel suites and even restaurants to carry on the festivities.

It’s only been in operation since January, 2010, but already Wish Upon a Wedding has made dreams come true for more than 20 couples in the United States. With the launch of a new Minnesota chapter this month, this charitable organization now has active chapters in 22 locations.

Brides-to-be often encounter a confusing world when it comes to hiring a wedding planner. For one thing, there’s no clear consensus about the differences between a wedding planner, wedding coordinator or wedding consultant.
