2013 Spring Wedding Trends

Spring is here and there are new trends for 2013. We found these fun new trends here on msn.com and thought we should share them with you! Here they are, tell us which one is your favorite!

1. Spring wedding reception trends



One of the must-haves for spring wedding receptions is a unique lounge area. That's right -- one-of-a-kind rental pieces aren't just for celebrity weddings. Event designers and couples are sourcing unique furniture pieces like mismatched benches and armchairs to create trendy, yet relaxed seating vignettes.

2. Spring wedding color trends 

 


Emerald green may be Pantone's color of the year but spring wedding color palettes will take on a softer look -- think berry pink, mint green or even guava. And the idea is to create a tonal color palette. For example, berry pink might be paired with similar shades like coral and persimmon.

3. Spring wedding flower trends 



Textural, lush, garden-fresh arrangements will pop up all over spring wedding reception tables this spring. Plus, a few added bold flowers -- like the yellow and orange Mexican poppies in this centerpiece -- will steal the spotlight.

4. Spring wedding dress trends 

 


Wedding dresses with feminine touches are in for spring -- everything from lacey or even beaded necklines, like the Marchesa gown on the left, to airy overskirts, like on the Christos gown to the right. Even ready-to-wear trends are making their way into spring wedding dresses, with subtle peplum designs and pretty cap sleeves.

5. Spring wedding cake trends 

 


This white wedding cake with a sugar-made blossoming dogwood branch made by Maggie Austin Cakes is just the beginning. We'll also see classic white cakes with colorful floral accents like sugar-made tulips, hyacinth and delicate sugar peonies.

6. Spring wedding menu trends 

 


Seasonal food bars like this one -- featuring strawberry pies, strawberry shortcake and chocolate-covered strawberries created by Peter Callahan Catering -- or even a fresh olive oil bar with lots of spring herb-infused options are all fresh, fun food ideas for spring.

7. Spring wedding cocktail trends 

 


The buzz word for spring cocktails is refreshing. We'll see lots of cocktails made with flavored spirits like pear vodka and St. Germain (elderflower liqueur), and then finished off with seasonal fruit like strawberries.

8. Spring wedding groom's style trends 



Rather than the traditional black tux, we'll see a lot of grooms in fitted gray suits. And we're talking many shades of gray depending on the formality of the wedding: lighter grays for outdoor, rustic weddings and darker charcoal for more upscale settings.

9. Spring wedding bridesmaid trends 

 


Colorful printed bridesmaid dresses, like these two by Amsale, were all over the runway and are particularly popular for spring. Consider mixing and matching necklines and hemlines for a fun, flirty, laid-back look.

10. Spring wedding beauty trends 

 


Think pink! Rosey cheeks and pretty pink lips are the hottest trends in beauty for spring weddings. No need to find the perfect red stain, just a tinted gloss or coral lipstick will do the trick.
