So you ask, what are the trends for the upcoming 2013
wedding season? Below are the details
that have stood out to me as 2013 Wedding Trends.
Mint
Mint is a trending color that I think will be huge for 2013
weddings. It can be used in many ways – dresses, flowers, invitations, but also
signature cocktails, cakes and wedding favors.
The cool color is fresh, modern and retro all at once. Tip – combine mint with coral.

Birds
They don’t call them lovebirds for nothing! Expect to see an increase in bird-themed
weddings throughout 2013. You will see
them in wedding decorations, invitations, cake toppers, centerpieces, and on
and on and on… Some examples include
tossing bird seed, bird cages as card holders, bird themed invitations, and
bird’s nest favors (complete with blue Jordan almond ‘eggs’). I’m also seeing an increase in
feather-inspired hair accessories (like veils and fascinators) to subtly tie in
the theme.

Paper Lanterns
Paper Lanterns are an inexpensive wedding decor and easy to
embellish! String them up along a beach,
or hang them from a tree in a garden wedding. Add your own lighting to create a gorgeous
glow. You can even use them in your
backyard for a bridal shower.
DIY Ideas:
·
Hang ornate ribbons or plastic crystals of
different lengths from the lower metal ring
·
Glue on artificial flowers or paper butterflies
·
Embellish with pearl or jewels brads
·
Use shaped paper punches to create a unique
design
·
Cluster the lanterns with hanging paper flowers
and pom poms

The 1920s
Vintage is nothing new for weddings. However, with the popularity of shows such as
Downton Abbey and the remake of The Great Gatsby coming out I see this as a big
trend for wedding themes this next year.
Think Great Gatsby style garden parties and swanky jazz club fêtes. The style of the 20’s can be very romantic…think
of art deco, soft tones of ivory, lace and pearls.

Backdrops
Whether it is for the photo booth, the dessert table or
behind the head table, the possibilities for backdrops are endless! They can be the focal point of your wedding
ceremony decoration and are spectacular settings for snapshots of your fist kiss.
Some DIY ideas:
·
Fabric Backdrops
·
Large floral backdrop
·
Paint on paper or canvas – custom pattern design,
favorite poem, monogram, etc.
·
Ribbons

Bark
Yes, we said bark. Maybe it is inspired by the rustic trend
or the desire for a more natural wedding setting (it would go great with the
bird wedding trend) but bark designs are everywhere.
Bark can be incorporated into anything for your event such
as centerpieces, guestbook, cake stand, table numbers, etc. The ideas are
endless.

Mini Menus
When it comes to appetizers and desserts, mini is mega-cool.
Your guests will love small sandwiches, bitty beverages and dainty desserts.
Make it more memorable with classic (or exotic!) pairings of food and
unconventional or simply knockout presentation. Just make sure there’s enough
to go around!

Lace, lace, lace
Lace has always been a mainstay in bridal fashion, but it
seems to be making a comeback right now.
Lace details also look great on invitations, cake design, and wedding
favor. In my opinion, we're going to
see a lot of lace in 2013! Lace details can be chic and sophisticated, or when
paired with rustic or vintage elements, lace can become a bit more whimsical.
