Sustainability is key.
Green consciousness has made the wedding industry change its ways to ensure that the grand wedding day doesn’t leave such an awfully big carbon footprint. In 2020, there are so many greener options for each and every wedding element you can think of. From nature-friendly wedding stationery options to sustainable floral arrangements, couples can now opt for wedding picks which won’t be harmful to Mother Earth while still maintaining the grand celebration you expect for the big day.
Dried blooms and greeneries.
The flowers have always transformed wedding days into a memorable celebration, from the lovely ceremony up to the grand reception settings. The newest trend currently seen in most weddings are dried flower arrangements that have been charming the wedding ceremonies and reception tables throughout the summer season. A lot of greens are also integrated into the bouquets, with some brides even opting for a bridal bouquet simply made up of leaves and dried stems for a more natural and laid-back look.
Feminine neutral palettes for the bridesmaids.
Team bride still continues with the blush and nudes becoming more popular options for the dresses of the MOH and the bridesmaids. As the neutral colour scheme needs to follow no season or no specific venue, the ladies prefer to have these lovely feminine shades for the bridesmaid’s dresses all year long.
Uniform looks for the bridal party.
Gone are the days of the mismatched bridesmaids’ dresses and the monochromatic suits for the groomsmen. 2020 weddings are bringing back the uniform wedding attires for everyone included in the bridal party.
Fresh and local flavours.
Modern wedding menus are usually made up of amazing local cuisine and fresh seasonal produce within the caterer’s locality. Before, couples would opt for the best tasting offerings of the hotel kitchen or the experienced caterers. Now, the soon-to-be-wed couples try to offer their guests delicious tasting meals that best represent the wedding venue and the couple’s own hometown or city.
Tailored party music setlists.
From the morning of the wedding preparations to the throwing of the garter and bouquet, modern couples get to pick each and every song that gets played during the big day. Thanks to Spotify and Apple Music, brides and grooms get to curate their own playlist with songs that hold a deeper meaning for the couple or a lovely memory from their love story journey.
Vegan options and plant-based wedding menus.
Food choices have gone over cultural and religious diet restrictions as wedding guests are now offered vegan options and plant-based menu items. It works out well for wedding guests who are trying to eat healthy as caterers now tend to put labels for menu items with nuts or shellfish and they also get to label the gluten-free options as well.
Dramatic wedding cake creations.
Before, wedding cakes were always expected to be white, no matter what shape it has or how many layers it holds. Today, however, wedding cakes have become a grand focal masterpiece during the wedding reception. With more and more couples opting for bold, colourful takes on the wedding cake and with the bakers trying to make wedding cakes with out-of-the-box ideas and designs. In turn, the couple gets to truly express their style and personality through these unique wedding cakes specially made for their memorable day.
Rise of mobile bars and mixologists.
Open beer tubs and signature cocktails are still popular, but this 2020 is the year for fancy cocktails and great tasting mixes. The longer hours of partying after the wedding ceremony entail for couples to hire experts in creating artistic cocktails and exquisite drinks. Guests are treated to a great night of partying filled with specially-made drinks, making the wedding party even more fun for everyone.
Destination weddings and destination elopements.
The search for the perfect destination wedding venue keeps on getting wider each year, as more couples get married in far continents and private islands. With the help of the internet, brides and grooms get to make their dreams come true with destination weddings in remote places or with huge wedding parties held in a different continent altogether. Booking flights, finding wedding suppliers, and coordinating with all the guests has never been this easier for everyone with a smartphone. Brides have also taken advantage of learning from previous brides’ experiences in forums, social media channels, and even in simple review sites where they can get the information needed to plan a wedding from miles away.
