Terri Ramsey Beavers Are you wanting some inspiration for planning your upcoming nuptials? Trends change all the time, and weddings are no different. While the classic idea of a wedding is still a popular choice for many brides and grooms, being able to inspire something different into your big day can help you to make your day stand out and give you a fun and unique twist to help you celebrate in style.
To give you some ideas of how to celebrate your wedding and incorporate some of this year’s most popular trends, read on.
Alternative Venues
While there are undoubtedly some stunning traditional venues, choosing a more unique wedding venue for your big day can offer you a more special experience. Getting married in a barn, on a farm, in an old brewery courtyard, or even in caves can provide you with an extra special day that meets your needs and requirements.
Bespoke Wedding Attire
More and more couples are opting to forgo the traditional wedding day attire for something more personal and fun. Whether it’s adding in more color; pinks, blush, and even black are still in fashion for wedding colors right now; other styles and designs are becoming increasingly popular. From wedding separates, be it a bridal trouser suit or top and skirt, to drop waist dresses or fun short wedding gowns that offer more whimsy over a formal dress.
Sharing Menus
Sit-down meals can be perfect for some weddings, but a popular trend is seeing a sharing menu making the rounds and offering a less formal dining experience. Options such as grazing tables and dessert bars have been popular in recent years, as is creating personalized drinks for guests for toasts or to accompany food.
Alternatively, the classic wedding buffet is still a good option and can allow guests to pick and choose what they want to eat and when.
Candid Imagery
Couples are looking at candid picture options to capture their big day over staged shoots. This means getting those shots that aren’t styled and capturing more of the fun and emotion of the day for an authentic treasure trove of memories. Candid shots often tell a story of the day, how people feel, and what really happened, and invoke more emotion than traditional staged pictures can offer. There is no harm in asking for a set of pictures or videos to help you get standard wedding imagery along with more candid-style pictures.
Immersive Entertainment
Say goodbye to DJs for your wedding this year and instead look at an immersive entertainment experience. This means booking a live band or musician, adding a photo booth to your reception, live illustrators and performers, or even bringing a dance troupe on board to help fill the dance floor and liven things up with your guests by providing entertainment on the dance floor and encouraging people to get up and move.
Your wedding day, your choice as to what you want to include to make it extra special. If you’re unsure about how to celebrate your big day, these upcoming trends for 2024 can be exactly what you need.
