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.
