Vows & Views Wedding Fairs Discuss the Latest in Wedding Trends & Styles
We are here to give their prospective couples a whirlwind tour of the latest and greatest trends shaping the world of weddings!
As couples embark on their journey to “I do,” they’re constantly seeking inspiration to make their special day truly unforgettable. From dreamy decorations to cutting-edge fashion, staying ahead of the trends is key to orchestrating a wedding that dazzles and delights.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the enchanting realm of wedding trends and styles that are stealing the spotlight in 2024.
1. Elevated Elopements:
Gone are the days of traditional ceremonies confined to grand ballrooms. In 2024, elopements are taking centre stage in the world of weddings.
Couples are opting for intimate celebrations in breathtaking locations, from secluded mountaintops to picturesque vineyards.
These “micro-weddings” are all about quality over quantity, allowing couples to exchange vows surrounded by their nearest and dearest in a setting that speaks to their hearts. Alternatively, couples can opt for an all-exclusive holiday/wedding with the whole family. The flexibility is ideal for couples to choose between a low-key or high-brow wedding with limited restrictions.
We, at Vows & Views Wedding Fairs, aim to bring on board the best we can in the Travel industry to advise couples on the best plans when it comes to holidaying or marrying aboard or away from home.
2. Sustainable Celebrations:
With a growing emphasis on eco-conscious living, sustainability has become a top priority for modern couples. From eco-friendly décor to locally sourced cuisine, weddings in 2024 are embracing green practices with open arms.
Couples are choosing biodegradable confetti ( some venues do not allow confetti so it is always best to check before opting for this extra), opting for digital invitations, and even donating leftover food to minimize waste. It’s not just about saying “I do” — it’s about saying “I do” to a healthier planet.
Some couples, however, are opting to go completely digital with their Wedding and not even send out invitations but contact people directly via various different means whether it’s Social Media, Email or telephone. The options are endless compared to over 30/ 40 years ago when we were young.
3. Bold and Beautiful:
Say goodbye to the muted palettes of yesteryear and hello to a riot of colour!
2024, weddings are bursting with bold hues that add a pop of personality to every aspect of the celebration.
From vibrant floral arrangements to eye-catching table centrepieces, couples are embracing colour in all its glorious forms. The range of colours and use of them can represent the couple’s personality and “theme” for their special day, it is unique to them.
4. Fashion Forward – Out with the Old, In with the New:
When it comes to bridal fashion, 2024 is all about making a statement. From sleek trouser suits to capes, brides are stepping outside the traditional bridal box and embracing unconventional styles with confidence.
Grooms, too, are ditching the classic tuxedo in favour of bespoke suits in bold patterns and unexpected textures. It’s a celebration of individuality and self-expression, where fashion knows no bounds.
The style of fashion can also be influenced by the venue and the style of the wedding the couple wish for. Comfort is key and establishing individually is also praised as it shows the couple as they are and not what society “sees” them as!
5. Tech-Savvy Celebrations:
As we have already said with stationery and invitations, digital is becoming more appealing to couples. It is also playing an increasingly prominent role in weddings.
From live-streamed ceremonies for virtual guests to interactive wedding websites that keep guests informed and entertained, couples are leveraging technology to enhance the wedding experience. The recent pandemic made people find alternative ways of hosting and presenting their wedding celebrations and a lot of these ideas have stuck.
Social media-worthy moments are being captured with drones, and personalized Snapchat filters are adding a playful touch to receptions. In 2024, the possibilities are endless when it comes to incorporating tech into your big day.
Trends will come and they will go, but Weddings will always take place.
As the world of weddings continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: the importance of staying ahead of the trends.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a lavish affair, embracing the latest styles and ideas can help you create a wedding that reflects your unique love story.
So, go ahead — dare to be different, embrace the unexpected, and let your imagination run wild as you embark on this incredible journey to “happily ever after.”
