Weddings are a time-honored tradition, but they are also constantly evolving to reflect the latest styles and trends. As we look ahead to 2023, there are a few key wedding trends that are worth noting.
1. Smaller, Intimate Weddings
One of the biggest trends in the wedding industry is the move towards smaller, more intimate celebrations. With the ongoing pandemic still affecting large gatherings, many couples are opting for more intimate weddings with only their closest friends and family in attendance.
2. Micro Weddings
Micro weddings have become a popular trend among couples who are looking for a smaller and more intimate wedding. Micro weddings are typically defined as weddings with less than 50 guests and often take place at a private residence, a backyard, or a park.
3. Virtual Weddings
With the ongoing pandemic, many couples have turned to virtual weddings as a way to celebrate their big day. Virtual weddings allow couples to invite guests from all over the world to attend their ceremony and reception, without having to worry about travel restrictions or quarantine protocols.
4. Outdoor Weddings
Outdoor weddings have always been popular, but they are expected to become even more so in 2023. With the ongoing pandemic, many couples are choosing to hold their weddings outdoors to take advantage of the fresh air and natural beauty.
5. Sustainable Weddings
Sustainability has become a major trend in the wedding industry, and 2023 is expected to see even more couples incorporating eco-friendly elements into their big day. From using locally sourced food and flowers, to choosing sustainable wedding favors, there are many ways to make your wedding more environmentally friendly.
6. Food trucks
Food trucks have become a popular option for wedding receptions. They offer a unique and casual way to feed guests, and can often be customized to fit the theme or style of the wedding.
7. DIY Decorations
DIY decorations have always been a popular trend in the wedding industry, and 2023 is expected to see even more couples opting for handmade touches. From creating your own wedding favors to crafting your own centerpieces, there are many ways to add a personal touch to your big day.
It's worth noting that these trends mentioned may vary depending on the location, culture and economy. The trend may also change as the year progresses. As always, it's important for couples to remember that their wedding should reflect their unique personalities and love story. Whatever trends may be popular in 2023, the most important thing is that the couple has the perfect day that they imagined.
