2024 Weddings: A glimpse into the latest trends
As the new year kicks off, we cannot wait to see what the most exciting wedding trends for 2024 - and beyond - will look like! From designs that are stealing the bridal catwalk spotlight, to fresh perspectives on wedding venues and your wedding feast, we’ve put together a guide of on-trend options that we expect to see plenty more of this year.
So, let’s jump right in…
Intimate Affairs
Small, intimate weddings continue to reign supreme. Couples are opting for smaller guest lists, focusing on quality time with loved ones rather than a massive bash. It's all about creating an intimate, cosy atmosphere where every guest feels like a VIP.
Non-Traditional Venues
Say hello to unconventional wedding venues. Couples are ditching traditional ballrooms for unique spaces like art galleries, breweries, and even summer camps. It’s all about finding a place that truly reflects the couple’s personalities.
Foodie Experiences
Food is taking centre stage. Couples are opting for interactive food stations, sharing platters and grazing tables, food trucks, and unique culinary experiences that reflect their tastes and preferences. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience to be enjoyed by all!
Fashionista
Wedding attire is getting a modern twist. Non-traditional bridal outfits, sustainable fashion choices, and mix-and-match bridal parties are setting the tone for a more relaxed and fashion-forward vibe. You’ll see floral embellishments, bows, short dresses, and intricate lace detailing all gaining popularity in 2024. Dramatic oversized, ball gown like skirts have been emerging from the catwalks, but with a twist. Removable skirts look set to be a BIG trend, helping to create completely different looks from the aisle to the afterparty.
Bold Colours and Textures
Say goodbye to pastels! Bold, vibrant colours are making a comeback. Think deep emerald greens, rich burgundies, and spicy mustards. And it’s not just about colours—textures are stealing the show too. Velvet linens, macramé backdrops, and textured paper are all the rage. (Pssst. We have a gorgeous variety of textured cards available for your wedding stationery!)
Statement Décor
Couples are going big with décor. Oversized floral installations including those suspended from ceilings, extravagant backdrops, and statement lighting are stealing the show. It’s about creating Instagram-worthy moments at every turn. Tablescapes are also looking more playful than ever before with unusual produce replacing the classic flower arrangements.
Personalised EVERYTHING!
Couples are adding personal touches to every aspect of their wedding. Customised stationery, unique monogram detailing everywhere, and even personalised cocktails are all making a splash. It’s about making the day completely unique.
Sustainable Chic
This trend is here to stay. Couples are going green and incorporating eco-friendly elements into their weddings. From recycled paper invitations to locally sourced flowers and plantable seed paper favours, sustainability is still very much on-trend.
