Lace is the big thing this year, from form fitted lace to loose and carefree. It's made way for more bohemian gowns and vintage designs.
Bohemian can make a great wedding theme if you're more carefree, it allows you to use nature based decor and base materials, like lace, burlap and flowers. Experiment for what is uniquely you and your Bohemia. If you're a DIY bride, this is a great time to show your stuff and to experiment. If you love the handmade feel, you can find almost anything on Etsy.
Great things to incorporate are flowers, hand crafted items. Shabby chic goes very well with Bohemian. You can cross this theme with the outdoors, a country setting, forest elegance, the indoors meet outdoors. Have fun with it!
You can save money with a Bohemian designed wedding by going with a simple wedding dress, using vintage or second hand items, DIY decorations or using nature as your decor.

Looking at 2012 wedding trends. One of the big things for 2012 will be lace! Lace can be incorporated into sleeves, whether they are long sleeves, cap sleeves or sleeveless but covering your chest up to your neck. Your dress itself can be fully covered in lace or only parts of it. You can use lace in many areas of the wedding, your table linens, decorations and many of those little touches.
Lace can help give your wedding a vintage look and a classic elegance. Lace can also be incorporated into your cake topper! If you have a bride and groom topper, the bride can have her dress look like your dress, lace included. You can use lace as a base for your topper, allowing you to incorporate the lace and have a topper of your choice. Or your cake itself can have all the lace on it :)
If lace is a major part of your wedding don't forget to add lace to your guest favors, center pieces, guest book, dessert table and where ever you want to add your touch. Don't forget you're supposed to have fun with your wedding planning!

Having a destination wedding? The hotels usually make it really easy with pre-made packages. The only problem is you can't personalize every detail like you can with a local wedding. But fear not, you can still bring your own personality to your wedding. A cake topper is a great way to do this.
You get to add a bit of your own quirkiness to an otherwise planned wedding.
Here are some tips for bringing your own topper. Talk to the person who will be creating your topper, mention it's for a destination wedding.
Choose a topper that is more compact or doesn't have little pieces that can be easily broken off, parts that stick out a lot can easily be broken. Be sure to pack it safely in a box with tissue paper and place it in the middle of your suit case with clothing around it, this will keep it safe for travel.
When you arrive at the hotel, take it out of your suit case and place it somewhere safe. Be sure to talk to your wedding coordinator about your custom topper and have her take care of it and put it on the cake for you.
All the other details are handled for you by your coordinator, so enjoy yourself!
