LOOK: Brides Reveal What They Would Have Done Differently

|

With constant access to beautiful wedding imagery -- thanks Pinterest and wedding blogs -- brides often say they wish they could re-do their weddings.

In a survey for their forthcoming wedding issue, New York magazine asked 100 recent brides what's on their do-over wish lists (and what they would never want to change). Check out the infographic below to see their answers, then tell us: what would you have done differently on your Big Day?

Check out the spring issue of New York Weddings, on newsstands March 19.

L.A. Experts' 2013 Wedding Trends

Cocktail Weddings(01 of05)

Pauline Parry of Good Gracious! Events says cocktail weddings will be popular this year. At a cocktail wedding, there is no formal sit-down dinner or buffet, but rather trays of food passed throughout the event. "It's a complete meal on a small plate, but you're grazing throughout the night," she said. "It doesn't disrupt the speeches or dancing!" (credit:Adi Benner)

Personalized Decor(02 of05)

Rrivre Davies of Rrivre Works, a custom luxury rental and design company, says that more couples are looking to design homey, unique weddings. "Brides and grooms are designing weddings like a house," Davies said. "They used to want it to look like a 'wedding,' but now they're expressing their personalities. They're using a lot color -- not just white draping." (credit:Adi Benner)

Clean, Classic Rings And Colored Stones(03 of05)

Jeweler Nelson Holdo of Black, Starr & Frost said that classic, clean settings are in style for 2013, along with yellow gold bands and colored stones. "Vintage-inspired rings were so prevalent in the last few years and they got overdone," Holdo said. "Also, for the first time in I don't know how long, we've seen yellow gold. For the longest time platinum was the thing. Yellow diamonds are the most accessible colored diamond, so they're gaining popularity too." (credit:Adi Benner)

Illusion Necklines(04 of05)

Rani Totman, designer and owner of St. Pucchi, says illusion necklines are making a huge splash in 2013. "They still give you the feel of a strapless dress, but with some coverage," she said. "Sleeves are so elegant, so romantic." (credit:Adi Benner)

The Death Of Vintage(05 of05)

This is more of an anti-trend, but David Pressman (pictured at left) of David Pressman Events says that many of 2013's couples are rejecting the vintage trend of the past several years. "I see less and less vintage now," Pressman said. "Bales of hay, mason jars -- they've been done." (credit:Adi Benner)
