Ahead of Christmas, we're gifting you a sneak peek into the wedding trends that will rock the year ahead. Brace yourself for what's in, what's out, what's a resounding "I do, too" and what's better left for second thoughts. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime affair, and with a plethora of choices, we're here to simplify things. Read on to discover the trends that should be on your radar for the big day!
Out with Tradition, In with Unconventionality
Ever since Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo broke the mould with their wedding, traditional ceremonies have become somewhat outdated. Whether it's a registry office, a cozy corner at The Ned, or an intimate little restaurant near you, couples are ditching the conventional church setting for more unconventional venues, injecting their personalities into the celebration.
The Bigger, the Bow, the Better
The bow is making a cute comeback, and in 2024, it's all about going big or going home. A giant bow adds drama, chicness, and a touch of elegance to any bridal ensemble. Whether it graces the front or back of your dress, resides in your hair, is tied to your coupe glasses, or serves as an adorable addition to your veil, a bow commands attention, directing everyone's gaze your way!
The Year of The Mini
Whether it's the gown in which you exchange your vows or the one you don for the dance floor, showcasing a bit of leg on your wedding day has never been more in vogue. Pint-sized wedding dresses are all the rage, so there's no need to overthink it—simply shrink it! Embrace the trend of shorter wedding dresses, adding a touch of modernity and playfulness to your bridal ensemble. Let your legs take center stage as you confidently stride into this fashionable and contemporary wedding style. It's time to celebrate the joy of movement and the allure of a shorter silhouette—because in 2024, less fabric is definitely more!
Wedding Content Creator - The Social Guest
In the age of social media, having a content creator at your wedding is not just cool; it's a must. Capture all those candid moments and relive them the next day. Consider them your personal paparazzi with a twist, capturing organic and candid moments that will last a lifetime. A wedding content creator eliminates the anxious wait for professional pictures and provides the first glimpse along with behind-the-scenes shots of your special day. Say goodbye to the risk of your twice-removed Aunt Karen posting an unflattering side angle that nobody needs to see. I'll (yes, me—because let's be real, the only content creator you need is The Social Guest) capture the best snippets of your party, event, and special occasion.
Wedding Weekenders
Why settle for just one day when you can have an entire weekend? Taking a cue from our American counterparts, more couples are opting for overseas weddings, making it the perfect excuse to turn your celebration into a weekend getaway. Imagine hosting rehearsal or pre-wedding drinks and dinner on day one, the wedding on day two, and a brunch on the third. (Note to self: start searching for weekend wedding venues!)
Dress To Impress – The Dress Code
With 'wedding dress codes' experiencing a 52% surge, get ready to see "Dress Code" on your next wedding invite. Creating an aesthetic is more crucial than ever, and the once frowned-upon all-black everything attire is now socially acceptable.
Audio Guest Books
Who needs pen and paper when you can have something more exciting? Enter audio guest books, where guests record their heartfelt messages, leaving you with the perfect keepsake. Whether it's before or after the champagne starts flowing, receiving marital advice, or amusing anecdotes over the phone adds a unique touch to your memories of the day.
Save The Last Dance
Bid farewell to the traditional first dance; in 2024, ending the perfect day with a slow dance has never been more romantic. Take centre stage and sign off the night with a couples' sway to your favourite song. You can always have both—a little modern flair and a touch of tradition!
Champagne Cascade Spectacle
Raise your glasses to the latest wedding trend that's been bubbling up—Champagne Cascade Spectacles. Move over traditional toasts; it's time to make a statement with a stunning champagne tower at your wedding. Picture this: a pyramid of crystal-clear champagne coupes, filled and overflowing with effervescent bubbles, it's definitely an Instagram-worthy moment.
These wedding trends are sure to elevate your day! From unconventional venues to oversized bows and pint-sized dresses, we're rewriting the rules of celebration. Step into 2024 with a touch of modern romance, where every moment is a snapshot of your unique story.
