2013 Trend Forecast

Congratulations to those of you who are newly engaged! I know that you must be knee-deep in pinning away on Pinterest, surfing those trusted wedding sites, bridal magazines, and watching any wedding reality television show you can find! In addition to some of the 2013 wedding trends (that I plan to try to cover this week), I am going to say that I think THIS will and could be hot for a wedding! So what is IT?

It's a reclaimed shipping container! These aren't just for shipping goods or for Doomsday Preppers anymore! If food trucks are a hot trend, imagine a refurbished shipping container that could showcase a "live action" station of cherries jubilee and cigar rolling. It could house your candy buffet, dessert station or photo memorabilia. I'm just obsessed with the options this could provide!!

What are your thoughts? Do you foresee this as potential trend? It's hot in San Francisco right now as this is Del Popolo's pizzeria on wheels!

Enjoy!
