DIY remains one of the hottest 2013 wedding trends, and Michaels, North America's largest arts and crafts specialty retailer and DIY wedding destination, announces the year's top colors and themes, along with its new DIY wedding site, new products such as invitations and favors, and an Ultimate Wedding Contest.

Michaels' top DIY wedding trends of 2013:

Classic Glam

The classic elegance of old Hollywood is embraced by the black-and-white color scheme that defines this trend: sophisticated and refined. Glitter and metallic touches add sparkle and shine to this glamorous wedding theme.

Heirloom Romance

Soft and feminine, this trend features pale pastels in both flowers and paper products. The look is refined, while keeping a romantic, handmade quality.

Pink Pop and Mod

For the bride who loves bold, clean, art-inspired looks, the vibrant colors of yellow, hot pink and orange inspire this graphic wedding trend.

Purple Luxe

With hues of lavender, violet, plum, lilac and mauve, there is a purple to match every shade of love: passionate, romantic, forever. Gilded elements and ombre enhance the royal feel of this trend.

Rustic Elegance

With burlap and lace, this theme is perfect for the casual bride who still wants that touch of Southern elegance at her wedding. The trend is inspired by a trip to the country: handmade signs, country stores, jelly jars and an indoor-meets-outdoor feel.

Seaside Bliss

Inspired by the joys of a laid-back day at the beach, blue, coral and white combine to create a sleek, elegant and luxuriously casual feeling
