Of all the things to plan, weddings are by far one of the most lavish, celebratory, Pinterest-inspired events that will be remembered for years to come. Wedding trends come and go, but there are a few steadfast details that won't change anytime soon: a white (or cream) dress, a good suit, lots of dancing, and lots of photos. But you can find out which wedding trends should be taken into account in 2023 in this article.
Color trends for weddings 2023
Creating a wedding color palette is part of preparing for your wedding day. More than ever, brides and grooms are creating unique color combinations to bring their wedding day to life.
Pink color palette for a romantic ceremony
Pink is often associated with romance and is therefore perfect for weddings. It is one of those wedding colors that most brides love. If you're looking for something bright and cheerful for your big day, pink is a great choice. You can also incorporate this color into the cake, dresses, or venue decorations.
Styling tips: You can decorate your cake, dress or shoes with pink sequins or glitter. Or add a touch of pink to your bouquet or boutonniere.
Wedding trends 2023 – Dark colors are on the rise
Once only known as a moody wedding color palette, dark colors are taking over Pinterest boards and Instagram feeds everywhere. These color themes are on the rise not because couples want to shade their big day, but because they are rich and complex. This makes them the perfect look for couples who want to plan a fall and winter wedding without sticking to the traditional hues.
Blue gives an airy feeling
Whether you choose something formal or casual, blue is one of the preferred wedding colors and always looks great. Blue has an airy feel that is perfect for summer weddings, but is also a good choice for winter weddings.
Styling tips: You can make your venue pop with blue colors by accenting the walls with coral or turquoise tones. Then decorate with cool weather flowers (e.g. hydrangeas) or lanterns.
Wedding trends 2023 – dresses for brides and bridesmaids
If you're a traditionalist, then you probably dream of wearing white on your big day. The traditional dress is expected to get a makeover in 2023. Simple styles are stepping back in favor of structured details (think feathers, fringe, bows and 3D appliqués) and bold silhouettes like ball gowns and long trains are hitting the runways. Colored and printed dresses are also on the rise as brides opt for a truly unique look.
Oh, and if you think the fashion statement ends with the wedding dress, then you're wrong. The accessories are also special: decorated veils, wedding capes and bridal gloves take the ensembles to a whole new level.
Wedding trends 2023 – The bridesmaid dresses:Although bridesmaid dresses are a personal preference (as well as what looks good with your partner's bridal party), there are some trends worth keeping on your radar. The emphasis is on neutral colors (champagne, ivory, white) as well as luxurious fabrics such as satin, silk and velvet. Mismatched styles – be it color or silhouette – continue to be trendy when it comes to bridesmaid dresses.
Of all the features, wearability is a must, with a bias towards simple silhouettes that can be worn again.
Fashion for the groom and the groomsmen
The gentlemen appear – and dress to impress. Traditional tuxedos or statement jackets (e.g. in velvet and jacquard fabrics and in jewel tones) are becoming increasingly popular. More traditional feminine details like lapel pins, beaded jewelry and ruffled shirts are on the rise.
For those opting for a more casual ensemble, suits in all shades of blue and green are popular.
Wedding trends 2023 – bridal couples choose sustainability
Sustainable wedding trends are becoming increasingly popular, and you should consider them when planning your big day. These sustainable trends are eco-friendly practices, and there are many ways to incorporate sustainability into your wedding.
Opt for invitations made from recycled paper or cardboard. They are more environmentally friendly and cost less. If you are hosting an outdoor ceremony or reception, make sure no plastic cups or disposable plates are used during the event.
Regardless of dietary restrictions, more and more couples are requesting vegan and vegetarian dishes for their wedding. Couples also hire private chefs to personalize their tasting menus for a memorable and intimate experience.
Gender-neutral salutation and playful design for invitations
One thing we know for sure: invitations will always have a place at weddings. With fun wording and playful designs, the wedding invitations will be saturated with elements from different cultures and bright colors. In addition, the couples will use gender-neutral salutations in the wedding invitations.
Trends in wedding photography – between tradition and progress
A wedding reception usually only lasts a few hours, but your photos last a lifetime. Social media gave us flash photography. This type of photoshoot allows couples to show off their personalities, especially when the flash captures a spontaneous reaction. Film photography will also continue to exist. This form of recording is classic and has stood the test of time, making it a good choice for weddings.
