Here are my
top 10 favorite trends for 2013
1. Vintage Inspired Weddings:
The roaring 20’sAlthough vintage inspired themed weddings is nothing new this year. I see this big trend in overall wedding themes for the next year. The anticipation of the release of the Great Gatsby set the tone for the vintage flair from garden parties to swanky jazz club speakeasies. We’ll most certainly see some styles influenced by the 30’s, 40’s and most definitely the Roaring 20’s, as well, we’ll see more Art Deco elements added.

2. The Color Mint
Mint was huge last spring and summer and we see it in the trends for 2013. Several shades lighter then the color of the year for 2013 EMERALD, mint’s soft cool hues is a perfect match for fresh, modern and retro themes.

3. Creative Backdrops
This year we’re seeing more and more creative backdrops than the traditional sheer fabric. These backdrops are the focal point of your wedding ceremony and reception and offer a spectacular setting for photos of your first kiss to many kisses thereafter as well cake cutting.
4. Covered Centerpieces
Floral designs will be getting covered up and caged in for 2013. A trend I used back in 2008 with my very own “caged” design.
5. Lounge Areas
A growing trend this year for both outdoor and indoor weddings. Creating a cozy lounge area for guests to converse will be greatly appreciated.
6. Mini Menus
When it comes to appetizers and desserts, mini is IN. A growing trend, your guests will love the presentations of everything small from dainty desserts to small sandwiches. Just make sure there’s enough to go around!
7. Beer
There’s nothing wrong with a signature cocktail at your reception and it has been a growing trend for several years. Why not offer your guests something different – BEER. With so many microbrews and craft beers available, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding something unique to serve your guests. You can also create custom labels to cover the beer bottles.
8. Grooms In
In 2013, we expect the average cost of a wedding to increase slightly partly due to spending by the groom. As more grooms begin to play an active role in the planning details, certain items such as groom cakes, grooms rings, accessories and unique groom gifts could significantly have an effect on the overall budget.
9. A Return to Elegance
2012 weddings reflected the economy with a shabby chic, DIY kind of attitude. This year brides will be drawing inspiration from old world glamour from great movies such as The Great Gatsby, Anna Karenina and A Royal Affair, as well as the recent Royal Wedding of Will and Kate. We’ll also see a growing inspiration to Elegance and simplicity will decadent fabrics, ornate lace details, corsets, decorative and ornate ceremonies and more formal receptions.
10. The Fun Factor
Last but certainly not least, couples are now putting a lot of emphasis on FUN by adding a lot of fun elements into their wedding from lots of creative food stations, snack stations and late night goodies. Carnival foods such as snow cones, cotton candy & candy apples will be popular for summer weddings. Entertainment of all sorts will be a huge incorporation into wedding receptions and even after the ceremony with mini donuts, games such as bocce balls & horseshoes and even the ever-popular bouncy castles.
