If you are planning a wedding this year you will definitely want to know what will be hot for 2013, and there are lots of great things on the horizon.
General Mood
One of the biggest things you are going to see this year is a return to elegance. We will see brides doing seated dinners and incorporating more upscale elements such as crystal, silver and gold. However, don’t except the weddings of 2013 to get too serious. They will still have a playful side and a touch of the unexpected.
Color Palettes
Every year the authorities of color, Pantone, forecast the hottest colors for the year. As you can see these 10 colors are the ones that are supposed to hit the fashion industry by storm, and it shouldn’t be any different for the wedding industry. In fact, “Grayed Jade” is the hottest trend this year. Expect to see lots of it!!

Décor
Bold, dramatic statements are hot this year when it comes to your décor. Unique backdrops will take center stage as well as hanging décor elements. You will also see lots of bold patterns and prints

Dresses
One of THE hottest trends in wedding dresses this year is the peplum wedding dress. There will also be lots of lace, high necks, sleeves and even a little bit of a back showing. Although the vintage feel of weddings from last year will not carry over to 2013, the vintage feel is here to stay in wedding dresses.
