Decorating trends for 2013




Every year in the wedding world we see new decor "trends" ...some come and go and some are a one time thing. As a wedding decorator and planner I am always on the hunt for new trends daily to not only expand my knowledge but to be able to assist brides & grooms with their vision.

Here are some trends I am noticing for the up-coming 2013 wedding season!...

LACE,LACE and more LACE!

The vintage theme is really hot right now and a big element of that is LACE! More brides are opting for lace decor, dresses and even elements of lace on their cakes. The girly,elegant, romantic feel of lace is what makes it such a popular choice. Personally I love weddings that have this element. There are so many creative possibilities that this is a trend that won't get old becase no two weddings will ever be same!


BURLAP AND BLING

When these two very different materials come together they form magic! There is no denying no matter what your style that Burlap and Bling is a gorgeous combination. Whether paired together with bold colors to form a contry chic wedding theme or matched with some more neutral and pale hues of pinks, creams and greys to go for a more vintage feel with this combination I feel you can never go wrong! 


PATTERNS

Damask, flocking, pintuck, chevron, stripes, polka dots and paisley, all have the ability to transform a room from nice to WOW! You name it  and we are seeing it on all the up to date wedding blogs. More brides are striving to be different and put their own spin on their wedding day to make it original and unique. I feel patterns have great possibilites for any theme and am excited to see this trade take off!




BIRDS & FEATHERS

Might sound crazy but over the last couple years the popularity of feathers in decor has grown and isn't showing any sign of stopping! With the choices of feathers in pretty much any color this addition adds sophistication and elegance to any decorating scheme. Not only in decor are they growing but in bouquets, hair pieces and even dresses. We are no longer talking about feathers anymore but now the addition of birds is becoming very popular, bird seed, birds nests in decor and favors as well as bird themed invitations. Brides and grooms are becoming so much more creative with the use of feathers and birds that 2013 does not look like it will dissapoint!


BOLD COLOR SCHEMES


2013 seems to be the year of bold, bright colors! Long gone are the days when brides just chose one color and stuck to it, now we are seeing combinations of bright color on top of bright color. Personally as a lover of the monocromatic all white wedding I have to say the bold colors are appealing to me more then I thought they would. We are going to see deep purples paired with lime greens, pinks and oranges and even metallics are making a comeback, with the elegant hues of shimmering silver and golds! 







I think that 2013 is for sure going to be the year of surprising trends more then we have ever seen before. Weddings are no longer about the union between two people but also about a day of self expression and celebration with family and friends. Brides and Grooms around the world are constantly on the hunt for new and fresh ideas, I think anything is possible!
