2013 Wedding Trends: Why They Should Matter to Brides Like You

The New Year has arrived! That means new wedding trends for all of you discerning and lovely brides-to-be!

One of the latest wedding trends for 2013 is the use of patterns.

While brides often incorporate stripes into their wedding décor and clothing, bolder patterns are now being strategically used. So how bold are we talking here? Paisley print, damask, and even polka dots are very hot right now. Bold prints and designs have become a huge success for weddings and will continue to be so throughout 2013.

Many brides are following this trend by having an eye-popping cake. They’re saying “goodbye” to the traditional white fondant layered cake and saying “hello” to extraordinary cakes with bright, bold colors, floral prints, and a whole lot more. Your wedding photographer will enjoy capturing images of your unique and delectable cake, and you’ll enjoy the reminder of your gorgeous cake for years to come. For a stellar 2013 wedding, bolder is better!



Sophistication is a major component of any 2013 wedding.

Chandeliers at the wedding reception have become a special touch for the discriminating bride. They make a bold statement even for an outdoor wedding. Some brides are choosing to include gold flatware or centerpieces dripping with crystals. You’ll be amazed at how gorgeous your reception images will be when these luxurious objects are on display! You’ll see all of it in a whole new light.



The bridal ladies this year are choosing longer dresses than they have before. These lengthy gowns appeal to the modern sophisticated woman but also provide a nod to days gone by. Although it has been used in weddings for decades, in recent years lace has been used more sparingly. You’ll be pleased to hear that delicate lace is making a comeback, whether as a veil, a train, or a completely lace gown. These long and detailed gowns photograph amazingly well, and there is much that a photographer can do to capture beautiful images of your unique gown.



All of your special moments — from your mother fastening a special strand of pearls around your neck, to your flower girls skipping down to the aisle, to hearing him say “I do” — will be captured ever after by your wedding photographer. After all, this is one of the most important and special moments in your entire life!

There have also been many cool new trends in photography for weddings in 2013. One new trend is to join your photographer the day after the wedding, directly in the morning, for some special Day After images. This may sound a bit strange to some, but the purpose of having images taken on the morning after the wedding is to capture a humorous look at how much partying and fun everyone had the night before. It makes for great memories!

Fusion photography has also become huge and is expected to continue increasing in popularity throughout the year. So what exactly is Fusion photography? It’s the combination of both amazing photographs and exciting video all together in one package. Many brides avoid ordering video for their wedding because they feel it is not necessary to have several hours, some of which may be boring, taped. The general idea behind Fusion photography is to enhance both photography and video by putting them together and only using the most exciting things that have been captured on your special day.

Whether you have a Northern Virginia wedding, a D.C. wedding or a Maryland wedding, and whatever you choose for your wedding day, whether bold and daring, soft and romantic, or classy and sophisticated, do it with style and grace and make your wedding a visual delight and a day to remember Ever After!
