Spring & Summer Wedding Trends
Spring has officially arrived, and summer is just around the corner. With the new season, exciting trends are on the horizon. So if you and your partner are searching for a modern approach to your wedding, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to discover the latest wedding trends to incorporate into your celebration.
Bright and Bold Colors
Everyone loves a classic black-and-white affair. The all-white wedding aesthetic perfectly exemplifies this, but colors like pink, blue, and green are breaking the mold. While vibrant colors aren’t for everyone, many modern couples have recently embraced subtle color hues in dresses, bouquets, and décor.
Want to add a splash of vibrancy to your special day? Consider including bold colors in your color palette, so you can celebrate in style.
Welcome Parties
A gathering with all your favorite people in one place to honor your love? Yes, please! Welcome parties are making waves in the wedding industry, with many couples extending the duration of their event from one day to multiple. This trend is ideal for those who want to enhance the guest experience and make their wedding weekend more inclusive. It’s also an excellent option for destination weddings.
You can host a small dinner, throw a classic party, or book an exciting excursion. Explore this idea with your significant other and see if it fits in your itinerary.
Unique desserts
Not a fan of cake? No worries — unique desserts are taking over the dessert scene. From gelato and cotton candy to donuts and Italian ice, the possibilities are endless. You can wow guests by hiring a vendor with a cute dessert booth featuring personal delights.
It doesn’t get more special than a custom dessert item with your name all over it. So make a note of your favorite sweets and consider including this trend in your reception.
Unique Floral Installation
Statement florals are on everyone’s mind this spring and summer. Our favorites are hanging florals, floral rings, and florals lining the aisle. You can never go wrong with a statement piece like your flowers to deliver a romantic atmosphere.
Are you leaning towards an eco-friendly celebration? If so, bring a local florist on board. They will know which blooms are in season for your wedding, showcasing the destination’s natural beauty.
Candid Photos
While formal portraits are a charming tradition, candid pictures are the latest wedding photo trend. Whether through a photographer, disposables, or polaroids, candid shots are a fun and authentic way to capture moments throughout the day. It also lets your personalities shine.
In addition, photo booths are a popular addition to modern weddings with unique backdrops and props. Whether you opt for candid photos, formal portraits, or both, you will undoubtedly have a memorable night with your loved ones.
