Trends come and trends go, but the innovative and inspired remain. They capture our imagination and show us there’s a new way to play. It’s important to stay abreast of what’s in vogue if you’re planning a wedding. You can find what’s working and what’s not, shop around the hip and happening to see what’s inspiring you and most importantly, to curate the ultimate experience for your beloved guests. There’s a time and a place for every classic, but for the daring and inspired the latest and greatest might be for you. Let’s have a look at what’s making waves in the 2024 wedding trends.
Bold Themes
Enchanted forest weddings have been all the rage since the wedding 2023 trends. With a focus on lush greenery, fairy lights creating a surreal scene and flashes of flowers to bring out the beauty and colour of nature, it’s all about creating a dreamscape for you and your guests to immerse yourselves in. And if you’re feeling daring you may want to go even one step beyond aesthetic and into a real outdoor forest setting, creating a magic and mystery on your day that can’t be outdone. Strong and unconventional colours are also the order of the day. 2024 wedding colours make use of striking tones like deep Emerald greens, rich vibrant plum or an evocative sapphire blue which creates a palate for you to play from and exemplify a tasteful and regal atmosphere curated to your elegance.
Fashion first
For brides and grooms alike we’ve seen a shift back to classics. For the ladies, that shimmering white gown has always been every young girl’s dream, you can live that dream! The classic is here to stay and is the top pick for 2024 wedding dresses. For the boys, the quintessential tweed has made a comeback, it’s traditional, it’s timeless, and we love it. Velvet suits have also been making a splash, and who doesn’t love a bit of velvet? Soft to the touch to melt a heart. Personalised pieces are also big right now, add a touch of you to your fit, sporting a bit of custom embroidery with special dates can take your outfit from dime a dozen to timeless and touching.
Venue Venue Venue
There’s been a renewal in the long love affair with Manor House weddings after the third season of Bridgerton inspired romance and nostalgia for gorgeous proudly English weddings. Botanical gardens, vineyards and industrial spaces are all in too, showing it’s all about natural beauty or a blank canvas for you to create in. Destination weddings are also becoming more popular with couples choosing exotic locations like Bali and Tuscany more and more over the comforts of home.
The Age of Gadgets
Just like every other aspect of our lives technology is creeping in by the day into weddings. It need not be a bad thing though, as it’s really just making for an easier time and a world of new possibilities. From live streaming and video conferencing for those loved ones across the sea to Digital RSVP systems and online wedding blogs to keep guests updated and even wedding planning apps, modern advances are helping to streamline the process and help couples stay organised.
Eco-Consciousness
Sustainability and consciousness are a top priority in modern life, and it should be, so a growing trend of couples are choosing to plan with an eye for care. From biodegradable confetti to reusable decor and choosing venues with green certifications there are many ways to keep your footprint green.
Having Fun
Live bands and acoustic performers have become popular as wedding trends for 2024, they create atmospheres from mellow moods to swinging parties, and choosing the right band could make your day a celebration to remember. Sticking with the technological theme lately a few other innovative ideas for entertainment have been interactive photo booths, VR experiences and personalised playlists. And for a special surprise to your guests, flash mobs, dance offs and magicians are a fun way to keep them guessing.
