What’s Hot!

Localized Weddings

As one year of wedding trends comes to a close another will emerge with vibrant ideas, new

methods of entertaining guests and bits of eye candy that will set weddings apart as truly

spectacular. These are the trends that will live on and become classic. As we are knee-deep in

planning and prepping for marvelous 2013 weddings we look ahead to the localized wedding.

You needn’t look too far past your hometown for preeminent wines, sea foods or fresh bounty

from farmers or bakers. Caterers will see an increase of delectable menus that are thoughtful

and sourced locally, showcasing the best of what’s to offer where their creativity can truly shine.

To truly give guests an incredibly unique experience {at often a fraction of the price for shipping foods cross-country

or wine across The Pond}, couples can look to nearby family-run apple cideries for a fun approach to bubbly, to a

regional winery to select a scrumptious blend to pair with dinner, or work with a farmer or chef to personalize

favorite food elements in an elevated light. The focus will be on quality, not quantity, and a remarkable

experience will ensue! - [Aleah + Nick, Valley & Co.]

Grooms start spending

In 2013, we expect the average cost of a wedding to increase slightly, partly due to spending

by the groom. As more grooms begin playing an active role in the planning details of their wedding

(a growing trend we've seen over the past 2 years), certain items such as groom cakes,

groom rings, accessories, intricate honeymoon plans and unique groom gifts could

significantly impact most wedding budgets, causing engaged couples to ultimately spend more. Most of the grooms

that we've spoken to state that their bride-to-be is totally on board for this increase in spending since it is as much

his wedding as it is hers. - [Mason, WeddingStats.org]
