Congratulations on your wedding! There's a lot of new and exciting trends in weddings this year, which one do you think you'll pick?

1. Smaller, more intimate weddings

After the COVID-19 pandemic, many couples have opted for smaller and more intimate weddings. This trend is likely to continue in 2023, with more couples choosing to host a small and meaningful celebration with their closest friends and family.


2. Non-traditional venues

Couples are increasingly choosing non-traditional venues, such as industrial warehouses, rooftops, and museums, to host their weddings. In 2023, we might see more couples opting for unique and unconventional wedding venues.


3. Personalized experiences


 Couples are also looking for ways to make their weddings more personalized and unique. In 2023, we might see more couples incorporating personal touches, such as customized cocktails, unique wedding favors, and personalized signage.


4. Interactive entertainment


Rather than just having a DJ or band, couples are now opting for interactive entertainment to keep their guests engaged and entertained. In 2023, we might see more couples incorporating activities like photo booths, lawn games, and interactive food stations.

It's important to keep in mind that wedding trends are constantly evolving, and what's popular one year may not be the next. Ultimately, the most important thing is to plan a wedding that reflects your personal style and values.


5. Sustainable weddings


With a growing concern for the environment, many couples are looking for ways to reduce their wedding's environmental impact. This trend is expected to continue in 2023, with more couples choosing eco-friendly venues, locally sourced food, and sustainable decor.
