5 Wedding Trends to Look Out for in 2024
As the 2024 wedding season rapidly approaches, here are some of the latest trends you can anticipate seeing this year. From non-traditional wedding gowns to playful pops of colour, these trends are sure to suit various styles. With many trends being adaptable, there’s still time for couples to incorporate them into their special day!
Hints of Colour
Throughout the years, pastels and muted colour palettes have been a staple in weddings, offering a timeless and classic aesthetic. However, why not add a playful burst of colour to your wedding day to truly reflect your unique style? Incorporating a bold pop of colour can be achieved through accessories, floral arrangements, the wedding cake, stationery and décor elements. Whether you opt for warm earth tones or vibrant hues, you’ll be sure to make a statement that remains both timeless and classic, all while showcasing your personality.
Intimate Weddings
Imagine this, a mouth-watering meal crafted by a local chef in a farm-to-table style served at your family’s cottage in Muskoka surrounded by 30 of your closest friends and family. Picture yourselves seated at a beautifully decorated table with in-season florals. More and more couples are opting for intimate weddings, over extravagant celebrations, choosing to celebrate with their nearest and dearest. This allows the couple to truly connect and share meaningful moments with their loved ones on their special day. While intimate weddings can offer cost savings, enabling couples to allocate funds elsewhere. They also provide the opportunity to indulge in other aspects of the celebration, such as exquisite florals, gourmet catering and unique guest experiences. This concept is perfect year-round and can be brought to life in various settings, whether the outdoors or your favourite boutique restaurant.
Wedding Content Creators
If you enjoy capturing every detail and creating lasting memories through reels and TikTok, a wedding content creator could be the perfect addition to your special day. The trend of wedding content creators gained momentum in 2023, offering couples a unique way to document their wedding day through engaging social media content. These professionals capture candid moments throughout your celebration, utilizing popular trends to craft reels that showcase the joy shared with friends and family. From heartfelt exchanges to spontaneous laughter, a wedding content creator will preserve all the in-between moments that make your day truly yours.
Audio Guest Book
Say goodbye to traditional pen-and-paper guestbooks! Now, you can capture your guests’ well-wishes through a spoken audio guestbook, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in their emotions and heartfelt words long after the wedding festivities have ended.
Pastel Coloured Wedding Dresses
This trend has quickly become one of my favourites! Traditionally, brides wear white or ivory wedding gowns as they say, ‘I do’. However, in recent years there’s been a delightful surge in brides opting for pastel-coloured or floral gowns on their big day. A notable example is Olympic Gold medalist Tessa Virtue, who stunned in a pastel pink strapless mermaid gown designed by Toronto’s own Jaclyn Whyte of Whyte Couture during her Italian wedding to Toronto Maple Leaf, Morgan Rielly. This trend has gained popularity at boutique bridal shops, with designers like House of Savin offering an array of pastel-coloured dresses and stunning 3D florals. If you’re planning a spring or summer wedding and considering a second look for your special day, this trend is a perfect fit. Just Organic Olivia founder, Olivia Amitrano thrifted a beautiful blush pink dress online just weeks before her July 2023 wedding to wear for her ceremony. If you’re not quite ready to fully commit to a colourful wedding gown but love the idea of this trend, consider incorporating it into your bridal shower or dress rehearsal ensemble. I’m eagerly anticipating all the breathtaking pastel and floral gowns that will grace weddings this season!
While trends may evolve, they undoubtedly add an exciting dimension to your wedding day, allowing for creativity to flow and introducing fresh ideas to your special day. Some of these trends have the potential to become timeless staples within the wedding industry, offering couples endless possibilities for creating memorable celebrations. I am excited to see how some of these trends will be embraced in the upcoming 2024 wedding season. Feel free to share your thoughts on these wedding trends in the comments and let me know if you’d consider incorporating any of them into your wedding day!
