With things returning to normal, people are ready to start making more experiences and new traditions.2022 is the perfect year to get married. In fact, more couples are tying the knot this year than ever.
Expect to see weddings with large amounts of guests, destination events, and memorable moments. Keep reading for more on the wedding trends 2022 has to offer.
Themed Events
With so many events leading up to the actual day, other wedding events can be fun and still uphold tradition. Rehearsal dinners and welcome parties that are themed can be quite memorable.
A popular trend from Netflix’s Bridgerton has been quick to inspire many wedding plans and styles. Think of other themed events like:
- The Circus
- Masquerade
- Diamonds & Gold
- Outdoorsy
- Fairytale Theme
- Old Hollywood
Destinations
Destination weddings can be helpful wedding ideas for people who want to keep your guest list in check. This allows you to truly invite those who mean the most to you and give your loved ones a great vacation in one. Not to mention you can get the most beautiful Instagram pictures.
If you choose a destination wedding, plan appropriately to prepare for the weather. You can still dress up and make it an elegant event. Be cautious in linens that wrinkle easily.
Bridal Subscription Boxes
A fun trend that many brides love is getting sent a bridal box every month. This will make any bride more excited as cute products get delivered. It comes with bridal goodies and essentials you might need to plan your special day.
Weddings On Weekdays
Most can still make a weekday wedding if you give your guests enough time to prepare. Straying from the weekend tradition will provide you with lower rates, more vendor options, and more venue availability. With so many weddings happening this year, this will be a trend to think about.
Eco-Friendly Weddings
With more people becoming aware of the climate crisis, eco-friendly weddings are on the rise. Traditional isle ends are being replaced with potted plants, favors are coming in succulents, and confetti is made of recycled paper.
If you want to go a step further, find local vendors with a similar green mindset. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when planning an environmentally focused wedding:
- Can the items be reused, recycled, or resold after the event?
- How does the wedding affect the environment?
- Are there more eco-friendly choices available?
- How much waste and energy will I produce?
Color Trends
Making a color palette is important, so the day comes together perfectly. It’s more common than ever for couples to have unique color combinations that bring life to their wedding.
Rustic and earthy colors are a great color combo for a bohemian style feel. No matter the choice, you can always add neutrals like black and white for contrast.
Guest Style
Guests love to impress and have a reason to wear special pieces. If you are wedding planning, don’t be afraid to make a dress code and put it on your invitations.
The last thing you want to do is spend thousands of dollars on your wedding and have guests clash with the vibe. Here are common dress code styles:
- White-Tie– The most formal type of dressing in gowns and tuxedos
- Black-Tie-Still very elegant but slightly less than the former
- Formal-Tuxedos and gowns are not needed but are accepted, but it’s popular to wear black ties and cocktail dresses
- Semi-Formal-Darker formal styles and colors are accepted but don’t wear a gown or tux
- Casual-Depending on the location of the wedding, opt for casual and appropriate clothing for the setting
Bridal Dresses
More brides are opting for dresses that aren’t the traditional white gowns we are used to. Bridal separates are trends that give brides a different look from the ceremony to the reception with little to no effort. Puff sleeves and corsets are popular choices that can add to simple designs.
Intimate Wedding Style
While many people may be doing blowout events and huge celebrations, the intimacy of a small wedding can be great. With smaller weddings, guests can feel much more involved and personal. Not to mention with fewer people at an event you can do much more design and decorations.
Multi-Day Weddings
Weddings can be so much fun. Why not continue the festivities? Welcome parties, daytime activities, brunches, and receptions provide opportunities to continue celebrating with family and friends. Day-long experiences are far more memorable than the simple ceremony and reception traditions.
Wedding Arches
These have been incredibly popular in the last few years because couples have ceremonies at unique locations. When planning a wedding outside or in an open area, a wedding arch is perfect for a backdrop or focal point while couples are in the ceremony.
Metal, birch, and hexagon arches are all popular choices that can be styled differently. These can look rustic, elegant, or chic.
