Congratulations on your engagement! If you’re planning a wedding, you’ll likely want to ensure your big day is as stylish and memorable as possible. With the arrival of spring and summer, the wedding world is abuzz with exciting new trends. To help you plan the perfect wedding, here are the top wedding trends for spring and summer.
1. Floral fantasy
While flowers have always been a staple of weddings, this year’s trend is taking things to the next level. Couples are opting for large, lush floral installations, such as cascading flower walls and suspended flower chandeliers. If you’re looking for something more subtle, consider incorporating smaller floral accents into your décor, such as floral-adorned place settings or a flower-strewn cake. Neutral flowers were once popular, but this year we are seeing more colour with poppies, red roses and wildflowers.
2. Unconventional venues
Gone are the days of the traditional wedding venue. Couples now opt for more unique venues like rooftops, museums and farms. If you’re looking for something unique, consider a destination wedding for an unforgettable experience. Try to pick somewhere that represents you both as a couple. When it comes to a destination wedding, the new thing to do is make an itinerary for a long weekend of events. Wild welcome parties and post-wedding day pool parties are a must.
3. Non-matching bridesmaids
Giving your bridal party some fashion freedom is becoming more and more common. The concept of re-wearing a wedding party look is increasingly becoming a reality, whether our clients are encouraging their friends to purchase on-palette dresses or supporting their friends in creating one-of-a-kind outfits.
4. Personalised details
From custom-made invitations and monogrammed cake toppers to signature cocktails and personalised favours, there are plenty of ways to make your wedding unique.
5. Light and airy
Light and airy décor is a popular trend this spring/summer. Think airy fabrics, light-coloured linens and sheer drapes. This look is perfect for a romantic, whimsical vibe.
6. ‘80s inspiration
There will be an ‘80s revival in 2023 because fashion is always cyclical. Think oversized bows, structured shoulders and preppy pearls. Barbiecore is a phenomenon that is taking the wedding market by storm. Bubblegum and fuchsia shades will be seen across the industry.
7. Tech-savvy
From e-invites to wedding websites, 70% of wedding industry businesses use an online platform. Wedding businesses without fast and automated processes will soon get left behind in this modern-day world of wedding planning.
No matter what type of wedding you’re planning, these trends will inspire you and hopefully help make your day extra special. When it comes to wedding trends, it’s important to remember that they are just guidelines. Ultimately, your wedding should reflect your’s and your partner’s unique style and personality. So, customise your wedding to fit your taste and create a day you’ll remember forever.
