Let’s face it. Planning a wedding ceremony and reception is hard! This is a lifechanging event and it needs to be perfect, right? The pressure is on!
So, here are five wedding trends to help you inspire your creative side. Incorporate some or all of these ideas and they will lead you to an amazing wedding.

1. Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Weddings

In the 2020s it is all about sustainability! This year is no different.

Impress your friends and family with numerous ecofriendly choices. Start by using biodegradable décor, decorations, and have plant-based catering for your luncheon or dinner.

Tackle one of the biggest wastes of money and resources – wedding invitations! This can be not only more efficient but it saves a lot of carbon: Go digital with wedding invitations. It is so much easier for you to manage your guest list and there is no paper used, no mail trucks driving around delivering them, etc.

For the wedding ceremony, choose a sustainable locale like a public botanical garden, a vineyard or a nature center. Your guests will love you for it and so will Mother Earth.

2. High-Tech & AI-Integrated Weddings

Maximize on tech to really do your wedding right. For instance, if one guest is going to miss the wedding due to illness. Live stream the wedding for them. Guests who really wanted to attend but now they can’t, will love a live stream to watch. Kick it up a notch and add some virtual reality! Now we’re talkin’!

3. Maximalist Decor & Statement Pieces

This year, going bold and over-the-top with décor is what’s in! Is an Elizabethan wedding theme in your future? Big hair, humungous dresses and gawdy overdone décor! Have fun with doing and overdoing an unforgettable, dramatic ceremony and reception experience.

4. Unique & Interactive Guest Experiences

Have your wedding a guest-facing great time. No more just sit and watch. Let them have fun playing bartender for a few minutes at the DIY cocktail bar, take Karaoke to new levels as guests provide the entertainment. Add a photobooth that has an augmented reality upgrade to raise the level of fun and hilarity.
Of course, the dining needs to be handled by the caterer, but a DIY omlet bar let’s guess have fun playing around with crazy mixes of ingredients.

5. Non-Traditional Wedding Attire & Fashion Statements

Have everyone join in the fun of a crazy DIY designer outfit for your wedding. Mix Plaids and stripes, wear oversized bows and bowties, datable sleeves, 1960s long gloves and pillbox hats. Are suits with sneakers back yet??
