It’s wedding season, so it’s time to start planning for your big day! From florals to dresses, decor to venues, there’s a lot to think about, and it can be overwhelming. But fear not, as we’ve compiled the top wedding trends every bride-to-be should know about. These trends will not only help you stay current, but they’ll also add a touch of elegance, uniqueness, and glamour to your big day.
Micro Weddings
Micro weddings are smaller and more intimate, with only the closest friends and family in attendance. In 2021 and beyond, micro weddings are set to become a trend. These weddings prioritize quality over quantity, allowing couples to splurge on what truly matters – a beautiful dress, stunning florals, and a fabulous feast.
You can make your special day even more entertaining by renting a photo booth, a DJ, or even hiring a caricature artist to provide your guests with great memories and fun keepsakes.
Sustainable Weddings
With the growing awareness around climate change, it’s no surprise that 2021 and beyond are set to see a rise in sustainable weddings. Plenty of ways to make your wedding day eco-friendly, such as opting for plant-based floral arrangements or using biodegradable dinnerware. Another great idea is to rent or purchase a pre-loved dress or suit or use a family heirloom piece.
Non-Traditional Venues
As traditional wedding venues become more expensive and harder to book, couples have begun exploring non-traditional options for their big day. One popular trend is holding the ceremony and reception in garden venues. There’s something special about exchanging vows amidst the beauty of nature, with blooming flowers and lush greenery as the backdrop.
Garden wedding venues also offer ample space for guests to mingle, dance, and enjoy the festivities. As a bonus, these venues can help create a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that will make the day even more memorable for the happy couple and their loved ones.
Live Streaming
Most couples have resorted to downsizing their guest list, while some have postponed their big day due to the pandemic. However, this doesn’t mean you must compromise your joyous occasion. Thanks to modern technology, live-streaming weddings have become a trend, and for a good reason.
Attendee Convenience
The ongoing pandemic has limited people’s movements and interactions. However, with live streaming, you can invite your loved ones worldwide to witness your wedding. Not everyone can travel to attend your big day, but with live streaming, guests can view your wedding ceremony from the comfort of their homes.
Affordable Solution
Organizing a traditional wedding can be costly, from the venue and decorations to feeding your guests. However, with live streaming, you don’t have to spend much on the ceremony. You can choose to have a smaller wedding and still invite your friends and family from afar. Having a smaller ceremony will allow you to allocate the wedding budget to make the event even more memorable.
Memorable Wedding
Unsurprisingly, most couples want their wedding day to be perfect. With live streaming, you can make your wedding even more memorable. It’ll allow you to add personal touches to your big day. You can choose to make your wedding program more exciting, play your favorite wedding playlist, or add special video effects to make the ceremony even more enjoyable.
Unlimited Streamlined Guests
One of the best things about live streaming is that you don’t have to restrict your guests’ access. Unlike traditional weddings, where there is a maximum capacity limit, you can invite as many people as you want to attend your wedding ceremony. It makes it easier for you to include family and friends who are overseas or those who are unable to attend due to health reasons.
Statement Sleeves
Statement sleeves are an emerging bridal trend that comes in a variety of forms, from puff sleeves to bishop sleeves to dramatic, billowy sleeves. Statement sleeves are perfect if you want to add a touch of extra elegance and flair to your wedding gown. They are an especially great way to add drama and romance to an outdoor or winter wedding.
The Bottom Line
In conclusion, these trends will make your big day unique and memorable. From the intimacy of micro weddings to the environmentally friendly focus of sustainable weddings, and the more minor details like statement sleeves, there’s sure to be a trend that’s perfect for you and your partner. Don’t hesitate to incorporate these trends in your wedding planning for a unique, stylish, unforgettable day.
