Some new trends that could be coming up in 2008….

Trend 1: Making Split Decisions

Can’t decide between a princess ball gown and a sexy mini? Wear both! In 2008, brides will make their guests do a double take by switching up their looks between the ceremony and reception with their gowns and hairstyles — like an elegant updo for when you recite your vows and switching to natural cascading curls to party. And it’s not just the bride that’s getting a makeover between acts. Couples are also changing up their palettes with a progression of color throughout the day. Guests arrive to a clean, all-white ceremony, experience a hint of pale hues during the cocktail hour, and then step into an explosion of rich color for the reception.

Trend 2: The Gray Area

Steel gray will replace chocolate brown as the accent color. We absolutely love this soft yet deep hue teamed with butter yellow, bright aqua, rich eggplant, or pale pink. It’s so versatile! Introduce the color in your stationery, either in the typeface or paper, and then gradually build it into your reception space by way of slate gray table accents and pewter-toned bridesmaid dresses with a contrasting sash.

I vote this bride to be the Sexiest and Most Daring Bride of 2007. You will never see this anywhere in Malaysia anytime soon. But you could see it in China or Taiwan since naked wedding photos are becoming a trend over there. This F&A candidate is wearing little more than a smile on her wedding day.

Phrases oft repeated, often lose their punch. I love you is one of the most common phrases married couples say to each other. If not, it should be. But after years of hearing it, it becomes common. So why not spice things up and do it differently.

Here a just a few new phrases:

* Hawaiian : Aloha Au Ia ʻOe, Aloha No Au Ia ʻOe
* Latin : te amo
* French: Je t’aime
