2024 Wedding Trends

Are you and your significant other getting married in 2024? First, congratulations! Planning your special day should be fun and exciting and with all the changes in the wedding industry, we are sure you'll create a night to remember. The wedding industry is full of exciting new trends including unique venues, innovative décor, intimate celebrations, and more.

Some of the top wedding trends that will shape the wedding landscape in 2024 include:

• Micro weddings- Instead of inviting a huge number of people, some of which you may not even know personally but your parents want you to invite, couples are focusing on smaller, intimate weddings where they can create meaningful connections with their friends and family. Having a smaller guest list allows you to splurge on other details of the wedding to create an unforgettable celebration.
• Bold colors- Wedding color pallets are moving away from traditional whites and pastels and choosing rich jewel tones, such as emerald green, sapphire blue, and deep burgundy as well as vibrant neon colors, and dramatic contrasts. These vibrant colors add a sense of energy and excitement to the celebration.
• Floral arrangements- Grand floral installations are making a statement including cascading floral arches, suspended arrangements, or floral chandeliers. Adding vibrant colors to your floral arrangements will help these stand out even more.
• Interactive food and beverage experiences- The days of standard buffet lines and traditional sit-down dinners are starting to dwindle off. In 2024, you'll see interactive food and beverage experiences such as live food stations, interactive chef experiences, mixology bars, DIY cocktail bars, personalized tasting menus, and more. The idea with this experience is to ensure that guests are entertained and delighted throughout the celebration.
• Entertainment- Couples will be choosing alternative forms of entertainment to surprise and delight their guests such as interactive photo booths, live performances by acrobats or dancers, luxury bounce houses, outdoor games, and more.
• Venues- In 2024, couples are breaking away from traditional wedding venues and opting for unconventional spaces that reflect their personalities. From art galleries and botanical gardens to rooftop terraces and private estates, the possibilities are endless. These venues provide a blank canvas for couples to create their dream wedding, allowing for personalized décor, unique layouts, and unforgettable experiences.
