Wedding Trends For 2023

As we welcome 2023, it is the perfect time to start planning for a wedding. Every year brings in new trends and creative ways of celebrating by couples around the world. Here are some of the top wedding trends you should consider incorporating into your own special day if you’re getting married in 2023:

• Intimate Destination Weddings – More and more couples are opting for intimate destination weddings over traditional ceremonies. Whether that means saying “I Do” on an island paradise or at a luxury hotel abroad, this type of celebration allows for both family members and close friends to be part of your big day without having to worry about crowding or large events taking place all at once. Intimate destination weddings can be more intimate and allow for a more personalised and unique celebration. Plus, it’s a great excuse for a mini vacation with your loved ones.
• Eco-friendly Options – With sustainability becoming increasingly important, many couples are choosing eco-friendly options when it comes to their wedding decorations and supplies. These can include using recycled paper invitations instead of plastic ones, using potted plants instead of cut flowers as centerpieces, and choosing locally sourced and organic food options for the wedding menu. Not only is this better for the environment, but it also supports local businesses and reduces the carbon footprint of the wedding.
• Food Trucks As Catering Alternatives – Instead of fancy plated dinners, food trucks have become a popular and affordable option for catering weddings. These mobile eateries can serve a variety of delicious food options directly to guests, from tacos to ice cream cones. Food trucks offer a more casual and relaxed atmosphere, and can also add a unique and fun element to the wedding.
• Personalised Wedding Details – Customisation and Personalisation are becoming more popular in weddings. From Personalised wedding favors and signage, to monogrammed details on invitations and other wedding stationery, couples are looking for ways to make their wedding unique and reflective of their personalities and style. This can also include incorporating cultural or family traditions into the wedding ceremony and reception.
• Virtual and Hybrid Weddings – With the pandemic still ongoing, many couples are opting for virtual or hybrid weddings, where some guests attend in person and others join remotely through a live streaming service. This allows couples to still have their dream wedding while keeping their loved ones safe and adhering to social distancing guidelines.
• Themed Weddings – Themed weddings are another trend that has gained popularity in recent years. From vintage and rustic to beach and boho, couples are choosing a specific theme or aesthetic for their wedding. This can help to bring cohesiveness to all aspects of the wedding, from the décor and attire to the food and entertainment.
• Sustainable Wedding Dresses – Eco-conscious brides are also looking for sustainable wedding dresses that are made from sustainable materials or are ethically produced. There are now a variety of options available, from dresses made from organic cotton or recycled materials, to vintage and secondhand dresses.
