Newest Wedding Styles and Fashions
From trending wedding style ideas and décor trends to trending cake designs, incorporating the latest trends will ensure your wedding stands out and your guests have an absolute blast. Here are some refreshing trends to make your wedding a truly memorable and indulgent experience for you and your guests.
Mid-day ceremonies
The after party is one of the most significant moments of a wedding ceremony. Many couples are moving away from having an eight-hour relay race from the ceremony to the after-party. Instead, we’ve seen mid-day ceremonies becoming popular at weddings and couples looking outside the box to keep the excitement going and ensure the guests stay until the very last moment.
Some tuck in a cocktail hour and a thoughtfully curated lunch, while others incorporate an afternoon photo session before the evening reception. You can utilize various creative ideas to ensure you and your guests have a unique celebration all day long.
Sustainable ceremonies
Sustainability is a trend that we are absolutely loving. Couples are starting to incorporate sustainable elements into their weddings by choosing an environmentally friendly venue, eco-friendly décor, a plant-based menu, and vendors with greener practices. We have seen more eco-conscious couples host epic celebrations while minimizing the impact on the environment. By making a few changes, sustainable weddings utilize recyclable materials to go greener overall.
Intimate Weddings
More of our clients are favoring smaller weddings with a manageable guest list. We have seen the average guest list shrink from over 200 guests to a more manageable number. Having a smaller guest list helps protect the intimacy of the ceremony and reception while providing more opportunities to create great memories with every guest. Therefore, small, intimate weddings are becoming increasingly popular, with couples opting for a more memorable celebration with their favorite familiar faces.
Statement Aisle
Statement aisles are making their way into the wedding industry and are a big trend in 2024. Couples are incorporating creative ideas to ensure the bride’s walk toward her new life is picture-perfect. Our clients loved having gently curved aisles that created a stylish and fresh effect. With a statement aisle, guests will have to wait for you to appear from around the curve before you make a grand entrance to walk down the aisle.
We have also seen brides choose to walk solo before being met halfway by the special person giving them away. A statement aisle allows you to imprint your style and preferences into the wedding from the beginning.
Unique Wedding Venues
Forget the simple set-ups and last-minute plans. This year’s weddings are bigger and bolder than ever. Couples are more relentless when choosing a wedding venue. We are seeing couples embrace unique wedding venues that can be tailored to capture the essence of their love. That’s why Watson Block has become a top wedding destination.
Our clients love our elegant wedding venue with upscale amenities and personalized services. It’s no surprise that we are the perfect wedding venue when you want to throw a sophisticated modern wedding that exudes elegance, style, and luxury.
