As we approach the 2023 wedding season, the wedding industry is buzzing with exciting new trends that will shape the wedding landscape.
Whether you’re planning a wedding in the coming year or simply keeping up with the latest trends, here are the top 10 wedding trends we expect to see in 2023:
BOLD COLORS
While pastels and muted tones have been popular in recent years, we expect to see a resurgence of bold and bright colours in 2023. Think jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, and ruby red, as well as neon hues and metallic accents. These colours will add a vibrant and eye-catching pop to your wedding decor.
MAXIMALISM
Along with bold colours, we expect to see a move towards maximalism in wedding decor. This means more patterns, textures, and layers, with a focus on creating a lush and opulent atmosphere. Consider incorporating bold prints, luxurious fabrics, and plenty of greenery to create a stunning visual feast for your guests.
SUSTAINABLE WEDDINGS
As more people become aware of the environmental impact of weddings, we expect to see a rise in sustainable weddings in 2023. This includes choosing eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and supporting local vendors. From choosing locally grown flowers to using recycled paper for invitations, there are plenty of ways to make your wedding more sustainable.
PERSONALIZATION
Couples are increasingly looking for ways to make their weddings truly reflective of their personalities and interests. In 2023, we expect to see more weddings that incorporate unique elements like a favourite song, hobby, or travel destination into the decor or ceremony. Whether it’s a personalized photo booth backdrop or a ceremony reading that speaks to your relationship, adding personalized touches can make your wedding truly one-of-a-kind.
MICRO WEDDINGS
While intimate weddings have been a trend in recent years due to the pandemic, we expect them to continue in popularity even as restrictions ease. Micro weddings offer a more intimate and personalized experience and can be a great option for couples who want to prioritize quality over quantity. From backyard weddings to elopements in stunning natural settings, there are many ways to make your micro wedding special.
NON-TRADITIONAL ATTIRE
Gone are the days when brides had to wear white and grooms had to wear suits. In 2023, we expect to see more non-traditional attire, from colourful dresses and jumpsuits to unconventional accessories like hats and boots. Whether you opt for a bold hue or a unique silhouette, choosing non-traditional attire can help you express your personal style and make your wedding even more memorable.
INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS
Couples are looking for ways to engage their guests and create a memorable experience, and interactive elements are a great way to do this. This could include a DIY cocktail station, a photo booth with props, or a dessert bar where guests can customize their treats. These interactive elements are a great way to get guests involved and create a fun and lively atmosphere.
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
With more couples opting for live streaming and virtual elements in their weddings, we expect to see more technology integration in 2023. This could mean incorporating interactive displays or using augmented reality to enhance the guest experience. Whether you’re streaming your wedding to guests who couldn’t make it in person or using technology to create a stunning visual display, there are many ways to integrate technology into your wedding.
CREATIVE FOOD AND DRINK
Food and drink are a great way to showcase a couple’s personality and creativity, and we expect to see more unique and unexpected options in 2023. This could include signature cocktails, unconventional flavour pairings, and even interactive food stations like a make-your-own s’mores bar. Our partners at LA Chefs do an amazing job creating and collaborating to make your vision come to life!
Overall, 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for weddings, with a focus on creativity, personalization, and inclusivity. Whether you’re planning a wedding yourself or just love keeping up with the latest trends, we hope these ideas inspire you to create a celebration that truly reflects you and your partner.
