Statement Aisles

A statement wedding aisle is a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your ceremony, and it’s something that your guests will definitely remember. This year, many couples are pushing the limits when it comes to what their wedding aisles look like. Local and national wedding designers are coming up with some of the most awe-inspiring wedding aisles – drawing inspo from fashion runways, interior design trends, nature and more. From florals and mirrors to ornate lanterns and lighting, the aisle should be something that complements the couple. Wedding planners are seeing a lot of couples opt for large, natural archways for their exchange of vows to center them during this special moment. Consider teaming up with your wedding planner and florist to maximize the full potential of your aisle space.

From epic aisles and statement centerpieces to dainty bouquets and dramatic overhead installations, florists and national wedding planners are seeing bold, fashion-driven color palettes trending for weddings in 2023. Bright, bold pinks and desaturated jewel jones, especially blues, olive green and rust, are the top color choices for florals this year. Another trend is the resurgence of simplified, timeless wedding bouquets. While some might prefer the elegance of “less is more,” other couples are opting to add energetic pops of color to their floral arrangements and bouquets. Large floral centerpieces are also popular choices, as well as couples selecting floral vendors that grow locally.

Lots of people love a fruity little drink or a shot of whisky in celebration of happy couples, but this wedding season, mocktails are all the rage. Combining the words mock and cocktail, these fun, alcohol-free drinks invite wedding guests of all ages to enjoy colorful, decorated beverages. Perfect for every season, there are varieties of beverages for each one. Try a refreshing blueberry cooler to keep guests cool during a warm outdoor reception or a cranberry mint mocktail for a holiday filled winter season. You could even have a station for people to create their very own drink–a way for kids and adults alike to partake in the creativity.
