Keep reading and be inspired for your upcoming wedding!
NUMBER 1 - PEACH FUZZ COLOUR
Move over pastels as peach fuzz’s soft and warm tones take center stage. Pantone picked it for the 2024 colour of the year and called it “a velvety gentle peach whose all-embracing spirit enriches heart, mind, and body.”
This delicate hue brings a touch of romance and freshness to wedding aesthetics – from stationery and makeup to cake colour and filling.
NUMBER 2 - INTIMATE DESTINATION WEDDINGS
Couples are increasingly leaning towards intimate destination weddings, selecting scenic locations that offer a breathtaking backdrop and create a sense of exclusivity for their nearest and dearest.
If you aspire to celebrate with a large group of family and friends while maintaining an intimate atmosphere, consider the option of a private ceremony in a secluded setting.
NUMBER 3 - MINAMALIST DESIGN
Less is more in 2024, with couples embracing minimalist design elements. Clean lines, simple décor, candles, fabric installations, intriguing lighting, natural elements (sand, stone, wood), and uncluttered spaces create an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
NUMBER 4 - CURVED AND ROUND RECEPTION TABLES
Breaking away from traditional rectangular tables, curved or round reception tables are making a statement. These unique layouts showcase creativity and foster a sense of togetherness, allowing guests to see each other and encouraging conversations.
NUMBER 5 - WEDDING CONTENT CREATOR
In an era characterized by swift results and the rapid exchange of information, new professionals as wedding content creators come to the help. Their objective is to encapsulate the beauty and significance of your day and quickly deliver it to you. They ensure that your Instagram and TikTok will be adorned with striking visuals, splendidly showcasing your love within 1-2 days.
NUMBER 6 - FASHION FORWARD DRESS AND ACCESSORIES
Enhancing the reflection of personalities on the wedding day significantly influences brides’ preferences in wedding fashion. Brides opt for more exceptional choices like haute- couture-feel wedding dresses and accessories. They explore bold silhouettes, unconventional fabrics, and unique embellishments, all showcasing their individual style.
NUMBER 7 - OVER THE TOP GUEST ATTIRE
Encourage your guests to flaunt their fashion sense with over-the-top attire. From bold patterns to extravagant accessories, this trend transforms the wedding into a fun, creative, and stylish affair. PS we’re all about a black tie affair.
NUMBER 8 - DRESSES WITH SLEEVES
Arms dressed with lace or ruffles organza is a gorgeous and elegant trend that emerged last year and continues to develop. The comeback of the sleeve creates etherial and romantic elegance adding a touch of vintage charm and modern sophistication.
NUMBER 9 - SUSTAINABILITY
As couples prioritize eco-conscious choices, sustainable wedding practices gain prominence.
Consider sustainable fashion brands, vintage rings, or lab- grown diamonds; look for recycled or plantable paper stationery; prefer locally sourced cuisine; incorporate natural elements and eco-friendly fabrics; opt for an outdoor space; and use LED light bulbs or candles, if possible.
NUMBER 10 - CENTREPIECES WITH FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND FOLIAGE
Table centerpieces take a creative turn and organic touch, incorporating non-floral elements such as fruits, vegetables, greenery, and even moss. Drawing inspiration from Dutch Masters’ still-life paintings, this unique approach infuses table arrangements with color vibrancy, freshness, texture, and a delightful garden-like ambiance. Not only does this choice support local farms, but it also allows guests to indulge in little healthy snacks between courses.
NUMBER 11 - FOOD AND CHAMPAGNE TOWERS
Let’s create some drama. Something old is turning into something new and trendy. Champagne and food towers are decadent displays of opulence. Tiered gourmet delights and bubbly arrangements create a glam and visually stunning focal point.
NUMBER 12 - A NEW WAY TO CUT THE CAKE
The traditional cake-cutting ceremony transforms, with couples choosing alternative desserts such as croquembouche or a cream filled sponge and interactive dessert stations that reflect their tastes and personalities. Another emerging trend is serving several individual cakes, accompanied by a shift in the timeline—from concluding the event with a sweet note to offering an earlier option with a silent cutting for guests who wish to indulge sooner.
