Every year in January the wedding industry predicts trends for the upcoming wedding season. For 2011, emphasis on details + do-it-yourself projects continue to rise and handmade is no exception! We have noticed an increasing amount of handmade decor, fashion, and accessories with unexpected pops of color, creative detailing and personal touches.
