Wedding trends 2022 were exciting, but 2023 has even more exciting trends that you need to know about. If you plan on getting married in the coming year, you’ll want to read through the trends below.
Wedding trends to watch in 2023
Going into 2023, the following are the most popular trends:
Denim jackets are hot!
Denim jacks are in style. We’re even seeing brides consider a personalized jacket as one of their leading wedding guest outfit ideas for their bridesmaids. A lot of brides are sassy and realize that this is their big day.
Of course, they still wear stunning dresses and look like princesses, but brides are being edgy with their own denim jackets.
Some brides will wear these jackets:
- During the wedding reception
- When celebrating with their bridesmaids
- When leaving the wedding venue
And why not? A denim jacket shows that the bride is hip and sassy.
Garden weddings
Enchanting weddings are moving outdoors with birds chirping in the distance and the wind blowing in the bride and groom’s faces. There is a major shift in where couples are getting married, and it’s moving toward back-garden venues.
However, you need to plan on getting married during the warmer months of the year and be flexible with the weather because it can rain.
But don’t worry: canopies are just as beautiful for a wedding.
A lot of couples are choosing garden weddings because they offer:
- A serene experience outdoors
- Possibility of having an affordable wedding
Many wedding venues offer this experience, but if you have a family member or friend with a beautiful home nestled in nature, you can save a lot of money having your wedding there.
Vintage everything
Vintage is in. Did it ever really leave? This coming year, we’re seeing a lot of couples opting for vintage with their:
- Dresses
- Suits
- Wedding rings
Many venues are also offering vintage décor and items. Couples are inspired by the eras of their parents and grandparents even more this coming year. Plus, the reuse of many items, even engagement or wedding rings, has enticed couples who want to waste less to follow this trend.
A modern love story with a pinch of vintage is always a romantic time.
Sustainable table designs
Who would have thought that wedding table ideas would make this list? However, sustainable couples want their weddings to have as little of an impact on the environment as possible. Some of the sustainable design trends that are taking center stage this year include:
- Bamboo
- Upcycled décor
- Plants – lots of plants
We’re seeing a major shift towards plants being an integral part of table design. Peace lilies, fig trees, maiden hair ferns, and dozens of other plants can be found on wedding tables worldwide this year.
Maternity wedding dresses
Are you struggling to pick the right dress because you’re pregnant? A lot of wedding dress ideas this year are maternity dresses. However, you can look fashionable and beautiful in a dress even if you’re a couple of months into your pregnancy.
We’re also seeing a lot of brides rent dresses.
Why?
You’re only going to wear the dress once. Why pay full price for it?
Destination weddings or elopements
A traditional wedding isn’t for everyone. Some couples want to experience saying “I do” in front of their friends and family. However, there are others who envision having the wedding of their dreams in Bali, Italy, or some other beautiful destination.
And this year, people are getting eloped in these beautiful destinations.
Couples that have the money to bring their most important loved ones to the destination will certainly do it. But many couples are getting eloped at the location that they’ve always dreamed of when thinking of their wedding.
Multi-sensory experiences
Multi-sensory weddings are also in fashion, with a major focus shifting to:
- Ingredient pairings
- Sounds and smells
- Unusual food ingredients
If you want to have an unforgettable wedding, creating a multi-sensory experience is one of the best choices you can make this coming year.
