2013 Wedding Predictions - Elvira DeCuir of 3D-Memoirs

Original post:
http://www.bridaltweet.com/2013-wedding-industry-predictions




This week, I'm featuring a blog post that was submitted by Wedding & Event Planner, Elvira DeCuir of 3D-Memoirs and it's called 10 Hottest Wedding Trends for 2013.  I love it so much that I'm also sharing it with you below. 

2013 WEDDING PREDICTIONS:

1.  Mint.  Mint will be the color of choice for brides in 2013.

 

2.  Birds.  Birds are everywhere in home decor right now and this will carry over into wedding decor. 

 

3.  Paper Lanterns.  Paper Lanterns are inexpensive wedding decor and easy to embellish!

 

 

4.  Braids.  Braids are in every hot summer movie and they will be big for wedding hair styles in 2013. 

 

5.  Laser-Cut Designs.  Eye-catching cut out designs will be seen on everything from invitations to dresses.

  

6.  Chicken Wire.  Move over burlap.  This inexpensive farming material will be the hot rustic wedding decor item.

 

7.  The 1920s.  The release of the Great Gatsby movie will bring this glitzy decade back into fashion, especially for weddings.

 

8.  Backgrounds.  Whether it is for the photo booth, the dessert table or behind the head table, the possibilities for backdrops are endless! 

9.  Garlands.  Garlands, buntings and pennants will all be a strong trend in 2013, because they are easy to DIY.

 

10.  Bark.  Great for rustic or nature theme weddings, bark has made a resurgence for wedding decor.

 

Thanks to Elvira for sharing that wonderful blog post.  

 

11.  As the owner of BridalTweet, I predict that in 2013, wedding professionals will continue to demonstrate that they are incredibly resourceful and online savvy.  It will be hard to find a wedding professional that is not on Facebook, Twitter and now Pinterest.  So, how can wedding professionals stand out in 2013?  To help you out, here are some...

At that time we will have an On Boarding session and take in new Young Leader participants. If you wish to enroll then attend the Kick Off, complete the application, and all applicants will be considered and approvals for participation will be provided within seven days of the application submission. We regret that we are limited to the participation of 20 Young Leaders: The Golden Fold is a Joint Mentoring venture involving Gamma Xi Ques, The S.A.A.B. Program of T.C.C., and The Man-Up Connection (Men in the community who become involved). The Golden Fold serves youth in grades 6 through 12 by providing a (currently) Free Leadership Development program with a S.T.R.EA.M. Curriculum. The young men that are participants in The Golden Fold are called "Young Leaders" or YL. The term 'Golden Fold' represents a valued (Golden) brotherhood (fold). Gamma Xi will provide over-sight mentors from their chapter to support the activities. The S.A.A.B. Are the direct mentors provide direct community mentors, marketing activities, and programming and administration support, The Man-Up Connection will provide business and political connections to support the activities of the movement.   Our movement follows a Leadership S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Attendance, Mathematics). During our sessions the Young Leaders (mentees) will be exposed to presentations and experiences that focus upon Science, Technology, and Engineering. Upon entry will test each YL in the areas of reading and math. If it is found that they have a deficiency in either of these areas we will refer them to receive tutoring from an organization we are affiliated with. We will also monitor their Attendance via their school's guidance department. One of our Program staff will provide interventions to provide support to the YL to improve their attendance if needed. Our Model The Golden Fold meets the second and fourth Saturday of the month from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and will normally follow our Bond/Guide/Build model: 10:00 – 10:30 Arrival, Bonding, YLs and Mentors meet and interact socially 10:30 – 11:15 Guidance given by one or two presentations based on the S.T.R.E.A.M.

Over a series of sessions each YLs should have an opportunity to interact with most of the mentors, providing an opportunity for a YL to develop friendship with preferred mentors. They will have an opportunity to interact with their preferred mentors during the bonding period which is normally a part of a session.  Interactions with YLs during the bonding period will only occur in the presence and with the guidance of other mentors. Interactions between our mentors and YLs outside of our activities is not necessarily encouraged, nor is it the intent of the program. The Golden Fold mentors are instructed to avoid creating or facilitating intentional out-of-program meetings with the YLs. Mentors will not be permitted to transport or to take possession/charge/custody of YLs in the program with the exception of our community escorts who escort the Yls from the targeted neighborhoods as scheduled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Golden Fold Mentor Movement serves youth (males aged 6th grade through 12th grade) and undergraduate college men by providing Leadership focused seminar based Big-Brother-type activities in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
