A recent article in The Huffington Post, discussed some of the top
wedding trends for 2013. No matter what the trend, those experienced in the art
of wedding planning and design know that one of the easiest and most touching
ways of capturing a trend or conveying a theme is with the personalized
wedding favors used.
Among current top trends are:
•
Revisiting the elegance and sophistication of the
past. Crystal on the table, gold-plated silverware, and elaborate
chandeliers, even in outdoor settings.
•
Toned down colors such as grey, taupe, blush, and
similar neutral tones. Pops of green or black make bold statements.
•
Tents and camping. Not your usual white tents or
canopies, mind you, but fancy linens and wedding decor in safari-style tents.
Inspired by superstar Matthew McConaughey's wedding, bridal couples are
flocking to emulate his summer camp styled wedding.
•
Peonies. Available only two months of the year, the
peony, although wildly popular, speaks both lavishness and romantic grace.
Brides are turning to garden roses, which are easier to come by throughout the
year.
•
Garlands, Garlands, Garlands! Be they paper,
ribbon, or masses of flowers, garlands everywhere set the tone for spectacular
weddings.
•
Subtle metallics. Foil stamping enables brides to
use silver, gold, or bronze to add a pop of "gleaming" without too
much glitz. The result is casual elegance.
•
Plated dinners as opposed to buffets. Following the
trend for more sophistication, tablescapes allow the use of gold silverware,
splendid linen napkins, crystal set-ups, and elegant touches in making a
statement.
•
Personalizing by adding menu items from the
couple's culinary heritage. Blended couples mean blended cultural backgrounds
and ethnicities. Where better to celebrate pride in one's past than in the food
offered to their guests?
•
Spectacular cakes! Not too fancy, not too
elaborate. Definitely not too traditional. Be it through color, appliqués, or
embellishments, the wedding cake has to boast that Wow! factor.
•
Green and DIY dominate. Where better to make a
statement about concern for the planet? Couples are going for recycled,
reusable, and tree-free papers and decor. Just imagine decorating the same tree
used at your wedding -- all those years ago.

trend couples have set their hearts upon remains one of the reasons Sweet Wrappings
