2020 was one crazy ride to say the least, but it has FINALLY come to an end. Now it’s time to look ahead to a new year full of beautiful possibilities, especially for the newly engaged and soon-to-be-married! Here is a look at what’s trending this year for all things matrimony!
Be Bold Whether it’s a bold red lip, unexpected colors in the bridal gown or tux or some amazing statement shoes, BOLD is the thing to be this wedding season.
Warm Tones Color can be a huge factor in setting the mood for your big day. Create an inviting and romantic feel by incorporating rich jewel tones like burgundy, emerald or navy blue, earthy hues like ochre, rust, or sage and some metallic elements of gold or copper.
Greenery & Large Displays Greenery was huge in 2020, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere! Another hot trend for this year is large floral arrangements. Whether they’re featured as centerpieces on reception tables or as a lush backdrop for your nuptials on a beautiful arch, nothing says romance quite like a luxurious drape of greenery and gorgeous flowers. Dried grasses, seed pods and palm fronds are also a big trend for the year.
Texture in Neutrals Texture is another great way to make a space feel welcoming and cozy and create an enchanting ambience that your guests will enjoy all night long. Incorporating textures in beige, cream, white or light gray is a great way to use this trend on your wedding day.
Geometric Elements Think wooden hexagon arches as a backdrop for your wedding vows or a metallic hoop framed cake stand for your beautiful wedding cake.
Dessert Bar In addition to your wedding cake, which is often a focal point of the reception, many couples are opting for a dessert bar option. Perfect for guests who want to finish off their meal with a sweet bite, a dessert table offers lots of different options. Aim for a mix of familiar desserts, like brownies or chocolate chip cookies, and a few elevated desserts, like French macarons, meringue kisses or cream puffs.
Informal/Casual Elegance Many couples are opting for more intimate wedding ceremonies and receptions. Keeping with the theme of the dessert bar, blend the familiar with the more elevated to create a casually elegant atmosphere and cool, cozy spaces for your guests to gather so they never want to leave!
