These wedding bloggers predict that the economy will play a larger role in wedding planning in 2013, and more brides will opt for online tools and apps for creative ways to save a buck. Brides will trade in trendy, expensive parties for more uncomplicated, cheaper celebrations that are personal and easier on the wallet. Couples may choose decorations, flowers, and gifts that require more skill and less cash. Elopements, smaller gatherings, and less “stuff” may be what 2013 weddings are made of.

Technology, this blogger says, will play a large role in how couples will share their celebration with family and friends around the world.
