It won't be too long before the
2012 wedding season is truly upon us, so I thought that a little bit of wedding inspiration might be a good idea!

"So how do we 'find' our Wedding decor inspiration and get some fresh idea's"?
I always try and do as much research as possible, check out what's 'hot' and in fashion with both colour and themes.
Start by doing a little bit of 'surfing' around the web, you can find a whole host of information and idea's! Just use key words like
Wedding Colors 2012, Wedding Trends 2012, Wedding Theme 2012, just keep trying different words, you'll be amazed at what you'll find out... save the websites that you like best to your favourites so that you can easily find them again!
For 2012 wedding colours I found many great sites, including
Martha Stewarts Weddings, which has some great information, like these Perfect Palettes, click on the link below to see more great information from her website!
On-line Resources
Use the great resources that are ready available on
www.Qualatex.com such as
The Wedding Business Booster for fantastic decor idea's and great business tips!
If you are a
QBN Member you have many other additional resources available on the Qualatex website, like these great downloadable photographs (and many more) from the

Courses

This is a series of courses that I have written for Qualatex. They have been designed to maximise sales opportunities from brides and increase demand for more creative and profitable decor!

The Qualatex Facebook Group is also a fantastic source of inspiration! I have selected a few pictures from the photo gallery... there are so many great pictures it was hard to choose!
