Black is the color of objects which absorb all frequencies of light, much like two individuals absorbed into one through the bonds of marriage. In Japanese culture, black is associated with honor, age and wisdom, while in fashion, black is considered elegant, stylish, sexy and powerful. No matter what your draw to this most classic of wedding colors, Koyal Wholesale‘s Black Wedding infographic provides you with a checklist of essential black wedding decorations and products, from cutting edge and couture to classic must-haves.

Are Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel engaged? The singer, 30, reportedly proposed to the actress, 29, while the pair was vacationing in Jackson, Wyoming! The on again off again pair was first spotted together in 2007 during the Sundance Film Festival and were one of Hollywood’s most talked about couples. After a widely publicized breakup in 2011, the pair reunited. Reports of a proposal and an engagement have been popping up since the holidays, but no official announcement has yet been made. We would love to see Justin Timerlake and Jessica Biel plan a gorgeous winter 2012 wedding, given the actress’ love for snowboarding and the mountains. And of course we’d love to see Jessica’s ring!

Now that New Year’s Eve has come and gone, the next party to start planning for is your annual Super Bowl Party. Go all out on February 5th with awesome football décor and fresh football cupcakes. Decorate your festivities with color coordinated party decorations to match the team of your choice. NFL Playoffs are going to be intense this year so be sure to stock up on all your favorite playoff snacks as well. We may not know the top contenders yet but you can still finalize your guest list and send out invitations for your football extravaganza. There are plenty of ways to entertain your guests while everyone is enjoying the half time show and half time commercials. Try playing “Pick MVP”, before the game starts each person puts in a dollar and selects a certain player. At the end of the game, whoever’s player is MVP, wins the loot.

Damask was all the rage in 2010. Polka dots took center stage in 2011. This year, we predict that vintage lace will be the defining design element for 2012 weddings and special events.
Call it the Princess Kate wedding gown effect, but the designers at Koyal Wholesale (www.koyalwholesale.com) have a hunch that both lace design and lace fabric will make a gorgeously common appearance in 2012 on wedding gowns, as accents on gifts, and even to decorate cakes and cupcakes. Use lace Japanese washi tape to add lace detailing to boxes, favors, invitations and more. Combine lace with pearls for a classic look. Add in shades of ivory, pink and black to round out this theme for weddings and other celebrations.

 Six months after we asked the burning question “Who is LeBron James’ wife?,” the basketball superstar has finally proposed! LeBron James is now engaged to longtime girlfriend, Savannah Brinson. King James proposed at a lavish New Year’s Eve 2011 dinner party, and reportedly presented Brinson with an equally lavish 7-carat diamond ring just as the clock struck midnight.
So just who is Savannah Brinson? Brinson, who was James’ high school sweetheart, is also the mother of James’ two sons, LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus. Together since they were 16, the couple calls themselves soulmates. They reside in a $9 three story Miami mansion. No wedding date has been set yet, but one thing is for sure: This will be the most watched NBA Royal Wedding of 2012.

Winter is a special time of year; the snow falling on the ground, a warm fireplace and lots of hot cocoa. It’s also a lovely time of year for a white winter wedding. The snow makes a perfect ceremony backdrop and the whiteness can clean up any backyard or open space. If you like wearing a winter earmuffs and mittens, decorate your winter wedding with a mitten and snowflakes motif. White weddings, with snowflake décor, are a great way to bring out your romantic side. Instead of serving cold drinks try replacing the typical beverage with a batch of hot cocoa.
