Happy wedding season! Trends come and go from season to season while others make a lasting impression and stick around for multiple seasons. Here are 23 wedding trends we love and are excited to see this wedding season!
1. Mismatched Bridesmaids
We love this trend! Let your bridesmaids choose a dress that fits a colour palette to have a unique bridal party that feels just as beautiful as you do on your big day!
2. Statement Decor
Create a wow moment at your wedding by hiring a designer or a decor company to create the perfect decor installation. Choose anything from a dramatic ceiling, florals hanging or trees perfectly placed around the room.
3. Elopements
Many guest counts are getting lower as couples are forgoing traditions and larger receptions for an intimate event shared with their partner.
4. Unique Seating: Runway Aisle
Why walk down an aisle when you can walk down a runway? It is a modern, picture-perfect way to seat a small guest count at your ceremony.
5. Live Painter
We are obsessed with this trend. Paintings are a stunning keepsake from your special day and is a great option for entertainment during your cocktail hour or reception!
6. Wedding Weekends
Why have one day when you can celebrate with family and friends all weekend long? Celebrate the weekend with all of your favourite people with a welcome party, your wedding, an after-party and Sunday morning brunch!
7. Colourful Palettes
Many couples are beginning to welcome colour in fun ways: through flowers, decor, bridal party fashion and more. Showcase your personality and make your wedding day uniquely yours with colours!
8. Maximalism
A maximalism wedding is extravagant with beautiful florals, bold colours and lavish accents. These grand weddings are indulgent events that start with invitations that make a lasting impact and through the planning process- always use the more is more motto!
9. Bridal Styling
Many brides are opting for timeless and classic styling by selecting headbands, pearls, dramatic veils and sleeves. While others are choosing a more fun and modern look with bows, feathers, asymmetrical necklines, colourful dresses, cape veils or mini sparkly dresses.
10. Groom Styling
Many grooms are choosing non-traditional styles this season. Including patterned or coloured suits. Grooms are putting a twist on the classic boutonnieres by choosing to forgo one or choosing a pocket boutonniere!
11. First Touch
If you don’t want to see your partner before your ceremony but would like to have a special moment before you both walk down the aisle this first touch is a great solution! Just hold each other’s hand moments before you get married!
12. Blurry Photos
These photos capture fun and romantic moments using movement and are very candid. This style of photo is becoming increasingly popular and many photographers choose to take these in a black-and-white setting.
13. Audio Guest Books
Have your guests leave you a message on an antique-looking phone as a unique way to hear well-wishes from your closest friends and family.
14. Personal Thank-You Notes to Guests
Have each of your guests find a handwritten note on the seating chart or at their place setting as a personal thank you.
15. Unique Late Night Food and Drink Bar
Have fun with your menu by adding one of your favourite foods to the late-night station! Some menu items we love are a boba bar, gelato station, and of course fast-food burgers.
16. Champagne Tower
This was a trend that became very popular last season! It creates a chic picture perfect moment and is a great decor item during your reception.
17. Bridal Boudoir
A bridal boudoir photo album is an excellent gift for your spouse to open up on the morning of your wedding!
18. Bud Vases
An array of bud vases is a popular alternative to the classic bouquet centrepiece and we are loving it! They are perfect for a minimalist wedding and are absolutely beautiful when a variety of colours are used.
19. Long Stem Bouquets
A long-stem bouquet is the perfect modern bouquet. It has a fresh-from-the-garden look and adds simple elegance to every bridal party.
20. Circular Stationary
Stationary is getting a modern update! The classic rectangular edge of menus, invitations, place cards, seating charts and table numbers are widely being replaced with chic circular arches & we are obsessed!
21. South Asian Outdoor Wedding
South Asian weddings will continue to have outdoor venues. Couples are loving the freedom of larger scenic spaces that allow decor creativity while accommodating the traditionally large guest count for rituals such as Baraat engagement and wedding.
22. South Asian Floral Pre-Wedding Theme
Floral decor is a widely loved decor theme during wedding rituals. Many couples prefer to have new and creative options in choosing their floral decor. You can be a maximalist or minimalist- depending on the flowers and colours you choose!
23. South Asian Bride & Groom Styling
Brides are opting to wear a lehenga made by smaller brands rather than designer stores and we will be seeing many veil shots. Many brides are choosing to have dewy natural makeup with simple relaxed hairstyle as they are embracing the 2023 soft glam beauty trends. Grooms are having fun and experimenting with fashion choosing bright prints and bolder patterns!
