Wedding Trends: What’s In And What’s Out!

Hey there, it’s your wedding cheerleader, Jen Vazquez, the wedding photographer and marketing expert. I’m thrilled to dish out the details on the sizzling 2024 wedding trends. Our incredible 2024 couples can’t contain their excitement about these trends, and I’ve scoured Pinterest to bring you the freshest updates from the wedding world.

Keep in mind that your wedding should be an authentic reflection of your dreams, and these trends are here to inspire, not to dictate your choices.

TRENDS THAT ARE HERE TO STAY

1. Photo Moments

Those picture-perfect moments are still in the spotlight. Think candid snapshots like pouring champagne towers or posing with vintage cars. We’re talking about fun and memorable photo opportunities, including sparkler exits. Get ready for even more of these in 2024!

2. Intimate Gatherings

Small, intimate weddings and elopements are still all the rage. Couples are opting for smaller guest lists to create celebrations filled with meaningful interactions and stylish decor. It’s all about quality over quantity, and we absolutely adore it!

3. Outdoor Celebrations

The allure of outdoor weddings remains as strong as ever. Whether it’s a serene beach setting or a rustic barn nestled in nature, couples are captivated by the romance of outdoor venues.

4. Unplugged Ceremonies

More couples are choosing unplugged ceremonies, asking their guests to put away their devices. It ensures everyone is fully present, creating a deeper connection and a more intimate atmosphere.

5. Small or No Wedding Party

Say farewell to giant wedding parties. Couples are keeping it simple with a maid of honor and best man, or even no wedding party at all. The focus is on the couple and their love story.

6. Local + Sustainable Choices

Sustainability is in! Consider locally sourced florals and rented decor. Don’t buy things that’ll end up in the trash; think about renting or reusing. Eco-friendly weddings are a rising trend.

7. Disposable and Polaroid Cameras

Disposable cameras are making a comeback, offering a fun way to capture candid moments. Polaroid cameras are also popular, providing instant, in-the-moment photos. It’s all about creating memorable snapshots.

8. Cakes and Desserts

Desserts are taking center stage! Mini cupcakes, pies, candies, baked cookies, rolled ice cream, churros, and more are becoming wedding staples. Couples are getting creative with their dessert offerings.

NEW TRENDS TO WATCH OUT FOR in 2024

1. Seated Bridal Parties

Couples are shaking up tradition by having seated bridal parties. Bridesmaids and groomsmen get to sit comfortably after walking down the aisle, ensuring all eyes are on the couple.

2. Wow Moments

It’s all about creating unforgettable experiences. Couples are wowing their guests with dramatic displays, surprise dances, artistic installations, and epic food presentations. Think statement decor, entertainment, and food that leaves a lasting impression.

3. Highly Curated Menu

Food takes the spotlight! Couples are focusing on unique, meaningful menus, including vegan options or dishes inspired by their travels. Custom bar menus and late-night snacks are also in the mix.

6. Themed Dress Codes

Themed dress codes are on the rise. While they might create some guest attire challenges, they make for gorgeous photos and enhance the overall aesthetic.

4. Mini Bouquets

Taking a cue from Sofia Richie’s wedding, dainty bridal bouquets are regaining their popularity, bringing a touch of delicate elegance to the wedding ensemble. Smaller bouquets are not just chic but also kind to your budget, making them a charming addition to your wedding party’s attire.

5. Smaller and Shorter Ceremonies

Modern couples are keeping their ceremonies short and sweet, with a focus on keeping guests engaged and happy. Some even opt for a smaller private ceremony before the main event.

7. Audio Guest Book

The audio guest book is a fun alternative for guests to leave special messages. Add some adorable decor to your welcome table for an extra touch.

8. Wedding Day Content Creators

Hired content creators are becoming a trend, offering real-time social media content so you can enjoy your special day without worrying about capturing it all yourself.

TRENDS WE’RE SAYING GOODBYE TO 2024

1. Uniform Bridesmaid Dresses

Matching bridesmaid dresses are giving way to individual styles that flatter personalities and body types. Let your bridesmaids shine in their own unique way.

2. Overly Staged Photos

Couples are moving away from overly staged photos, opting for candid moments that capture the genuine emotions of the day.

3. Wedding Hashtags

The era of wedding hashtags is fading out as couples explore creative ways to document their special day.

Summary

Remember, your wedding should reflect your unique style and love story. So, embrace the trends that resonate with you and make your day truly special!

The Pinterest x Zola 2023 Wedding Trends Report

On April 25, 2023, Pinterest announced on their news blog shared the Pinterest x Zola 2023 Wedding Trends report. In my opinion, it’s the perfect couple (pun intended)!

Zola is well-loved and used by a majority of my couples and it seems to be the new generation or hip younger sister of (The Knot and Wedding Wire). I love that they include wedding invitations, Wedding Registry, timelines to personalized wedding pages, save the dates, and more. It’s the one-stop shop for help with all your wedding planning needs EXCEPT — inspiration. That’s where my favorite social platform comes in. Pinterest!

Eco-Friendly and Non-Traditional Wedding Themes & Decor

Hey hey, it’s time to get married in a way that’s totally you! Gen Z is shaking things up and redefining tradition, finding new ways to celebrate love without the added stress. And according to Pinterest, Pinners are all about non-traditional and unique wedding ideas that reflect their wallets and their values.

With the current economic climate, couples are looking for budget-friendly and earth-conscious ways to plan their big day. And who can blame them? Weddings can be expensive! In fact, Zola says the average cost of weddings in 2023 will be around $29,000. That’s a lot of dough!

Zola couples are getting savvy with their planning and using free digital save-the-dates to let guests know about their big day. And instead of spending a fortune on fancy wedding paper, they’re opting for affordable, eco-friendly options like Zola’s recycled paper.

But that’s not all! Zola’s budget tool is also a lifesaver for couples looking to track their expenses every step of the way. So, not only are they being environmentally conscious, but they’re also being financially savvy. It’s a win-win!

2023 Wedding Trends Report from Pinterest x Zola from Jen Vazquez Media

Top Wedding Trends

MERGE, Wedding Planning

Below are top wedding trends. These trends were gathered from multiple wedding experts.

Navy is the new black

Instead of black for suits/tuxes and bridesmaids dresses, Navy is going to be more popular. This color will spread throughout the theme of the wedding and be included in cake, invitations, and linen. It’s a great way to use a color other than black. This invitation suite created by Altogether Lovely Shop.

Silver and chrome

Metallics have been really popular, in 2018 it looks like Silver and Chrome replaced rose gold that was popular in 2017. And now is gold! Gold accents everywhere.

Elevated Food and Beverages

According to Martha Stewart Weddings Wedding food and drinks have been getting more and more unique each year, but Brandi Hamerstone, a wedding planner at All Events Planned, expects to see couples really go for it. “This trend is happening mostly by a push from the groom!” she adds. “Having a bar with several versions of bourbon (or whiskey and tequila), special glassware, and a knowledgeable bartender is a fun concept for everyone. It’s best to have something like this only available through the cocktail hour or later in the evening as it becomes a focal point and will definitely pull people around and keep them engaged.”

Wedding dresses

According to The Knot, capes and capelets were a big hit on the fashion runways this year. Additional the traditional ball gown made it’s way back and will be seen at weddings. If you are not into veils, then Capes are a great alternative. It adds dimension but in a modern way. Additionally it can serve as a way to have an outfit change (without having to physically change or purchase another dress), just take off the cape.

Bridesmaid Dresses

The biggest thing will be lace, according to The Knot’s report on what hit the runways. It’s a great alternative to sequins and beading. These bridesmaid and maid-of-honor dresses by Epiphany Bridal Boutique in Carmel. Models (left to right) Claire Torres and Kirsten Swidler.

A lot of couples will be going back to formal weddings according to several wedding planners. “The return to formality is the pendulum swinging back from the super-relaxed and laid-back weddings we’ve seen over the past five years thanks to the rustic and Coachella-style that has inspired couples,” WeddingWire trend expert Anne Chertoff tells Refinery29.

Pedestal Vases

According to IFD Flower Trends Forecast, Floral trends are going to be in opulence and royalty with pedestal vases as centerpieces. The colors will be saturated and bold. The floral design below was created by Dubon Floral Design.

Deserts, not just cake

“Creative desserts,” Nora says, “such as popsicles, custards, and ice cream sandwiches” are what couples are serving at the end of the night. But this doesn’t mean that wedding cakes are going away. Beth explains, “Wedding cakes are back, and the cake cutting ceremony is coming back. Couples want that photo in their album, the same one their parents have in theirs.

Woodsy or Nature Looks

Brides who want a rustic look and feel will start steering away from the barn look to a more “woodsy” look according to Taylor Green of Taylor Elise Events in St. Louis, Missouri. This includes a lot of greenery in the florals and green as the wedding’s main color. “We’ll also move away from burlap and see more wooden details,” she explains. Wooden details can include the invitation, table numbers, seating cards, tags, chargers, signage, chairs, and tables.” Dresses below by Epiphany Bridal Boutique in Carmel. and floral design by Dubon Floral Design in San Jose.
