Wedding Trends 2023

80’s & 90’s Comeback

❣ 2023 Couples are mixing vintage with modern, adding hints of the ‘80s to their looks – think midi dresses with puffy sleeves or a mini dress with a big bow, short veil and gloves, lots of gloves.

❣ Retro cakes, disposable cameras/ polaroid and retro video camcorder (or filters) champagne towers… if you dare!

Personal Touches

❣ Personalised thank you messages to your guests before the ceremony

❣ Include reception shout outs (of a guests birthday/ anniversary/achievement)

❣ Custom couples cocktails

❣ Sharing personalised photos privately

Colourful Celebrations

❣ Bold colours in floral design are adding that splash in bouquets, centre pieces and arbours to a neutral and muted toned back-drop

❣ Soft floral vintage style wedding dresses

❣ Guest attire requests are increasing, guests might be asked to wear all black so that the bridal party will pop or contrast in group photography

Hybrid Wedding

❣ Intimate ceremony and big dinner or vice versa

❣ Live streaming the ceremony or speeches

❣ Spreading the wedding out over several days: ceremony one day, reception the next, followed by a relaxing brunch to round up the festivities

Sustainability

❣ Digital wedding invitations and thank you cards

❣ Upcycled décor or donate when done

❣ Charity donation as wedding favours

❣ Group transport options

Relaxed: less formal more genuine celebration

❣ Alternative mismatched bridesmaid dresses

❣ No ceremony just a ‘signing’ before a reception.

❣ When everyone has left, the wedding couple has one last dance to their song
