Gabby & Tina's very beautiful Rebellious Wedding
lifted from Rebellious Bunch - MangoRed |
The fireworks have been released, all the well-wishes and hopes for 2012 have been said, and just the other day, photographer Nelwin Uy was already off to his first two weddings of the year. It's back to wedding business our dear Rebellious Brides, and it's always great to start fresh.
And what better way to start the year with forecasts, right? But lest you think that we are about to force down our trends, colors, and other what-not down your throats, you're wrong. The truth is, I don't care much for forecasts. I find them entertaining, but I don't believe in them.
I don't believe in dictating wedding colors for the year, just to shepherd the majority of brides into a color that will make their weddings look the same as the next. I don't believe in looking at Kate Middleton's gown and exploding the industry with lace, and more lace. So instead, here are our top 3 Rebellious Forecasts, that we think weddings in general are off to this year, on the basis of how we've seen the end of 2011 was unfolding itself to usher in 2012.
1. Rebellious Proposals
- They say that "uncertain times" bring out the need to profess love, and get married. Whether the end of the world is near or not, the truth is, we can't help but wonder. This is the year where everyone will be trying to accomplish their Bucket Lists, and a time to do grand proposal gestures--and it comes with an equally grand proposal video. One of our closest jeweler friends shared with us that in December alone, he found it so bizarre that he got so many calls from guys who are so eager to get a ring and propose--his family has been in the jewelery business since time and memorial and to him, this was out of the ordinary indeed. The need to document this momentous event has also been strikingly increasing. And why not? A proposal has got to be the most unbelievable moments for a couple. To immortalize it, the same way as the wedding will be immortalized, just makes so much perfect sense.
