Every year the wedding industry
is influenced by specific wedding trends. Many brides love to follow those
ideas and get new fashion décor and entrainment inspiration. Today I wanted to share with you some of the
hottest Wedding trends to look out for in 2013, by sharing my
favorite top 10.
1. Non-white wedding dress: If you are a bride that wants your wedding
to stand out and show off your personal fashion style, then this is the trend
for you! Depending on your style, you can be as bold or as subtle as you’d
like. You can have your full gown in your chosen color or
hints of your color in elements with designs, feathers, lace trim, flowers,
etc.
2. Wedding Mad Libs: A
great fun way to personalize your wedding and get a fun keepsake is personalized
fill in the blank cards. This reminds me
of my childhood–endlessly filling out my Mad Lib books. I used to be amazed at
my ability to use the same adjective over and over, and still laugh
hysterically at myself. Now, imagine having a Wedding Mad Lib guestbook!
There’s always that down time after the ceremony when the bride and groom are
whisked off for pictures. This would be a good opportunity for your friends and
family to fill them out. After they’ve been filled out, have your guests drop
the custom color Mad Libs in a designated basket or box before leaving.
3. Teeny Tiny Foods: Anything in itty bitty form just seems to be
so much more appetizing. I suppose it has a lot to do with the cuteness factor.
With the mini food trend rapidly growing for weddings and other party events,
mini foods have become an endless array of unique little bites; everything from
mini casseroles to mini pies.
4. Eye-popping cakes: The first cake style that dominates right
now is clean and modern with just one amazing embellishment such as a bow,
monogram or flower. The second major style takes the opposite tack, using
eye-popping color or all-over appliques. And finally, a traditional idea has
come around again: Brides are loving cakes that mimic wedding-dress details like
lace.
5. First Look Photo Sessions: These sessions are growing in popularity, and
I can see why! This not only saves time during the cocktail hour and allows the
couple to spend time with guests (which in turn eliminates the receiving line),
but it also allows your photographer the opportunity to capture a truly
intimate and special moment when the groom sees the bride for the first time.
Sometimes the most touching first looks can be between the father of the bride
and his daughter! I know it was during my daughter’s wedding. Always a tearful
moment!
6. Tweet My Wedding: The economy will
continue to play a large part in how brides and grooms approach planning and
vendors. Couples are becoming increasingly selective in a world of more and
more options. Online tools and apps like Pinterest expand the availability of
creative ideas, while social media continues to bring the bride and vendor
closer, advancing trust and educating both. I sense that we are seeing the
tradeoff of super trendy, bling drenched, wed-to-impress affairs for more
intimate, uncomplicated celebrations that are more personal to families, lives,
values and easier on the pocketbook.
7. Virtual Guest: In 2013, technology will play in huge role
in how couples will share their most precious moments with friends and family
around the world. Live-stream weddings
will continue to gain popularity and next year will be a defining time for this
type of service. If a loved one cannot attend a wedding, couples can opt to
"broadcast" their event and allow front row access to anyone,
anywhere. It's real-time streaming of a
real life event. It's a great idea for
couples who want to include more and more people in the wedding. I often ask
planning brides if this is something that they would consider, and most are not
even aware that this is an option! Look
for more live-stream weddings to emerge in 2013.
8. Double Dress: Changing into a
‘reception’ dress or dancing dress will be more popular this year, too: What I
like about this is that it is a nod to the ‘going away’ outfit of our mother
& grandmother's generations. While brides aren't changing into a sensible
suit, they are changing into something that they can dance in.
9. Sweet Tooth: Wedding cake is an absolute must, but 2013
will bring an indulgence in sweet treats: enter the sweet table. Experts say to
expect that the sweet offerings at weddings will grow tremendously this year.
Think of all your favorite puddings together on one table! Those hand-made or
hand crafted food items will continue to be in style. This doesn't necessarily
mean ‘rustic’, but cookies made by your mother in the welcome bags, or jam made
by granny will be seen more often.

10. Rainbow of Colors: One of the most
unique wedding trends of 2013 (and possibly my favorite) will be rainbow
wedding elements. While this can seem very overpowering to some brides, when
incorporated with white color alone and used properly, it will add great
atmosphere and contribute to unique photography ideas at your wedding.
Cheers!
