Searching for your perfect wedding dress is one of the most amazing experiences you’ll remember for a lifetime. Before you decide to try on multiple dresses it’s good to have a little coffee break and see what are the hottest 2023 wedding dress trends in the industry.

During the New York Bridal Fashion Week we had the pleasure to see a glimpse of the 2023 wedding dresses fashion trends. Designers showed some beautiful traditional cuts as well as more contemporary designs including mini dresses and colorful gowns.

If you are engaged or planning your wedding in 2023, this overview of the top wedding dress trends of 2023 is a must!

Sumptuous Sleeves

Inspired by the mid-1800s, sleeves will play the main character in 2023 wedding dress trends. They recall the timeless elegance and old-world romance. This year we will see both breezy off-the-shoulder sleeves, as well as classic puffed sleeves.

Ornate Embellishments

Embellished wedding dresses are making a big comeback in 2023. Some of the more modern examples will be almost see-through wedding gowns covered with crystals or detachable feather trim for night-time glamour.

Hints of Color

We are extremely excited to see more pops of color in the 2023 wedding season. Many brides will decide to experiment with hues on their wedding day. Hints of colors will be seen not only in embroideries but also over the entire length of the gown. Pastel blue and pale pink are the two most popular choices by wedding designers.

High necklines

Mock necks, inspired by royal style are one of the biggest wedding trends of 2023. They give an elegant and polished look. As the high necklines might look a bit modest, designers pair them with lace, floral detailing, open back, and sheer elements (or the whole dress!).

Floral elements

In 2023 floral decorations are taken to another level, the 3-D level. We will see more modern designs, more dimensions, and more oversized embroideries. The floral lace will add a whimsical element to any traditional wedding dress. Those elements are a perfect choice, especially for spring brides.

Mini wedding dress

With micro weddings on the rise in 2023, we will continue to see a surge of contemporary designs like mini dresses. It’s the perfect choice for brides who look for something non-traditional and are not afraid to show some skin on their big day. Those party-ready designs will definitely become more and more popular in the upcoming wedding seasons.

Sheer Accents

In 2023 we will see a big comeback of delicate gowns that feature utterly sheer fabrics and sheer layering. This accent creates an illusional style and goes as far as the almost completely transparent, “see-through” elements with fabrics like lace, chiffon, silk tulle, and organza.

Don’t forget that your style should be as important as current trends. Choose a dress that’s true to your own personal style. And if you are planning a 2023 wedding, contact Avalon Events Organisation for shameless wedding coordination!

Let’s dive in!

Outdoor Weddings

First of all, we need to admit that we definitely have a thing for outdoor receptions. French Riviera with its mild climate, long days and plenty of sunshine is definitely a place to be if you also love those types of celebrations.

2023 will be all about al fresco receptions, golden hour ceremonies and natural backgrounds. If you look for a venue to support this trend, do not hesitate to contact us as we have the largest venue portfolio in the South of France!

Punchy Fuchsia and Other Bold colors are In

This year, many couples will decide to fully embrace colors to their wedding. One of the hottest cooler trends of this year is punchy fuchsia (the Pantone color of the year). This wedding trend translates not only by the presence of bold colors but also wild patterns, luscious florals and exquisite decor details.

2023 Wedding design will be happier, more fun, playful and, we need to admit, very exciting!

Cocktail Walls

Bubbly or Cocktail Wall is the new way to display drinks to your wedding guests. It offers a new and creative way for you to serve your big-day signature cocktails. It can be customizable with your name, wedding colors, floral details, and much more.

Motion and Naturally Looking Wedding Photos

Bye-bye, sepia-looking photos, non-conventional angles and perfectly prepared poses. Say hello to ‘bright and airy’ photographs, a lot of natural light and capturing some candid, genuine moments. It’s all about the personal touches to bring the whole experience closer to the couple’s values.

Recently we observe a new trend emerging on TikTok and Instagram. A lot of creators go for retro-looking, blurry photos and wedding photography is also a part of this trend. I a lot of couples look for photographers skilled in dramatic candid shots this year. 

Micro wedding parties

Even though the pandemic is officially over the small wedding trends are about to stay with us for longer. Many couples want to avoid potential problems related to planning, big expenses and all the hustle of a big wedding. They are less concerned about doing their wedding ‘just for show’ and prefer to spend this time with those who really matter.  

Eco-friendly wedding details

In a few years, more and more couples try to host their wedding responsibly and incorporate sustainable practices during the reception. This means using local products and cutting back on unnecessary waste. Also in 2023, we will see a surge of sustainable, raw, and natural wedding decorations, farm tables, or biodegradable materials. Wedding venues are becoming more green, full of flower decors, and plastic-free.

Destination Elopements

Destination elopements have been a growing trend for many years. As an alternative to inviting dozens – or even hundreds – of friends and family members, many couples decide to elope in a beautiful place.

Are you dreaming about an intimate elopement ceremony whit an amazing sea view, under the olive trees, in one of the most beautiful regions in Europe? Then an elopement in the South of France is what you are looking for!

Weddings are a very personal affair. We hope the list of our favorite hot wedding trends in 2023 will guide you to make the right for your big day.

Planning a wedding in 2023?

With Avalon Event Organisation as your wedding planner, your wedding will be ahead of trends but still reflects your personality.

We have been so privileged to be a part of this beautiful couple’s Intimate wedding above Monaco this summer. Georgia and Ali choose to have their intimate wedding in the charming venue in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, just above Monaco. They shared this beautiful memory with a selected guest list of dear family and friends. Filled with sweet personal touches, the wedding was romantic and intimate.

Destination Wedding above Monaco

In the first place, it’s always such a pleasure to get to know my brides and grooms. Our lovely couple flew from the United Kingdom to celebrate their love in the South of France just above Monaco, a dreamy romantic wedding destination to tie the knot in style. They’ve been together for a very long time and everybody can feel their deep love, commitment and perfect understanding.

Wedding Venue with a Sea View

French Riviera hosts some of the most unique and glamorous wedding venues. Furthermore, our special venue above Monaco was popular among many personalities, including Princess Grace of Monaco, who came here to relax. The property extends over 450m2 and was created piece by piece around a garden, by the successive acquisition of houses and plots. It has an authentic charm, cultivated with great care over the years.

This place is available for an enchanting break that will bring you back to the golden age of the Côte d’Azur. The wonderful garden and interiors are available for your events, weddings, celebrations, seminars, receptions, product launches, or movie shootings… Nothing beats a wedding ceremony with sea views.

Wedding Celebrant in Monaco

As a wedding celebrant, Avalon Events Organisation has the privilege of performing a wedding ceremony. As a result, it was full of sweet and loving moments. Helping this lovely couple create a day they will remember for the rest of their lives was both a pleasure and a privilege. They exchanged vows surrounded by their friends and family with a splendid background of the Mediterranean sea and the view of Monaco.

Wedding Cocktail and Dinner with French Riviera Views

After the ceremony, our couple and their guests could enjoy a beautifully chilled glass of bubbles and delicious snacks. This perfect moment of celebration was accompanied by a talented duo: a violoncellist and a singer.

When the wedding cocktail ended, we prepared dinner and a  beautiful celebration in the delicious nearby restaurant. Consequently, starting and ending this unforgettable day with splendid views over Monaco and the French Riviera.
