The Biggest Wedding Trends for 2021

The symmetrical wedding has had it’s moment.

If we are leaning into anything it is the idea that no-one and no life is perfect. So why should your wedding? If it is a true representation of you and your love, why must all the pinks be the same Pantone colour? The moments you and your guests will look back on aren’t the colour of the chairs at the ceremony. They will be the intimate dinner, the amazing food and dancing the night away.

Here are some ways people are perfecting the imperfect on their special day.

Here is how to do it

  • Rent chairs, couches and/or benches in the same colour or coordinating colours
  • Search Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji
  • Buy second hand furniture and refurbish it to match or coordinate each other
  • Embrace all different colours and styles of seating then have muted down decorations everywhere else

Bouquets with personality

We are seeing different colours and textures being injected into bouquets. They can incorporate other flowers through the decor – or not. Dried flowers are also starting to pick up some steam, which could be a good option for a good DIY project.

Different bridal party outfits

This is a trend that we don’t want to end. You want everyone to feel beautiful and comfortable!

How do get this look

  • Pick 1 colour story you want your bridal party to follow. e.g. Blush pinks or black.
  • You can choose length. We’ve had brides specify floor length.
  • Make the shopping experience fun! Make a day of it so you can help and enjoy.
  • Send examples of what you were thinking. Help people get aligned with your vision.
