Wedding Trends for 2024
Most of 2023 has been spent making up for lost time after the global shutdown due to the COVID pandemic. However, 2024 is shaping up to be a spectacular year.
With more personalized touches, new takes on old traditions, and a push toward sustainability, we’re sure you’ll find the following trends for weddings in 2024 as exciting as we do!
The Eighties Have Returned
The 80s are back in a big way, from music and movies to wedding dresses. Consider incorporating this trend into your wedding day for an extraordinary celebration.
For instance, expect to see wedding gowns in the style of Princess Diana but with an updated, more youthful twist. The revived retro trend has been used throughout fashion design, with many garments taking on puffy sleeves, strong shoulders, and dramatic accessories. There will be more puffy sleeves in wedding dresses and an increased use of romantic details.
Sustainability
How many of us consider how our wedding day will affect our ecological footprint? Some brides have been anxious to preserve the environment while celebrating.
To do this, many couples are trending toward sustainable wedding floristry and incorporating upcycled wedding decor, such as decorating with teacups sourced from friends and family, or locally grown wildflowers, to minimize gas consumption.
Brides might pop their wedding bouquets in as flower arrangements for the top table, or they might use artificial flowers instead of living blooms.
One trend for 2024 will be the eco-friendly menu. Organic, local, and ethically sourced foods will become trendy as a way to reduce potential food wastage. Another option is eco-friendly party favors, such as plantable place cards, potted herbs or plants, or homemade jams and jellies.
