2013 is here and in full force! Every wedding season there are new trends that brides go crazy over. The best way to make sure your wedding is modern, cool and classy is to be ahead of the trends or even make your own!

We came up with what we think will be the hottest wedding trends for 2013. Pay close attention:

Mint: In 2012, mint was the hot color trend for the décor at weddings. We have a strong feeling mint isn’t going anywhere this year. Mint colored décor is fresh and chic and has a very cool retro feel. Mint ribbon roses are the perfect floral solution to keep up with this color trend.

Vintage: Vintage and vintage inspired décor and dress styles have been growing in popularity for awhile now and chances are this trend isn’t dying anytime soon. We believe vintage wedding themes will be extremely popular this wedding season.

Rainbow Bright Hues: Brighten up your wedding day and get away from the boring old white and muted color palette that is usually associated with weddings. From rainbow colored tablecloths to rainbow colored bridesmaid dresses, rainbow hues will be a hot trend in 2013.

Birds: You and your own personal lovebird will be extra trendy at your 2013 wedding with bird decorations, invitations and even centerpieces. A Love Birds pen set is perfect for your guest book and to keep up with this hot trend. Glittered bird’s nest stems are also great ways to stick with the bird theme at your wedding.
