Bringing Vibrant Color into Wedding Attire
According to What that Wedding, white and ivory wedding dresses are no longer "a thing." It has turned to colorful gowns in soft blush pinks, misty blues, pastels, bright lavenders, and many floral designs are the hit for bridal dresses today. This trend is allowing brides to express their emotions and their style and not stick to the white wedding dress.
Bridesmaids are no longer stuck with that "ugly dress that they have to buy" but moving to--"wear a dress in the lavender hue, bright blue color hue, or blush pink color way that makes you feel fabulous." This makes for very fun and vibrant photos along with great memories. When a bridesmaid feels good in her dress, it changes the entire wedding party.
Micro Weddings are Here for 2024
Big wedding and grandiose celebrations are always going to be popular for those who need them, but they lack intimacy and personalization. This is why more and more couples are choosing to celebrate with a select group of friends and family in a smaller venue, focusing on an intimate quality event.
This trend allows for more personalized touches, meaningful interactions, and a stress-free celebration. As a bonus, it’s much cheaper to throw a smaller wedding, which often has no more than 50 people, tops, than a grand one with over 100 invites.
But there’s another reason micro or smaller weddings are trending: sustainability. No, for many couples, this is not just a buzzword, but a conscious decision to reduce their environmental impact. Smaller weddings mean less food and drink and, consequently, less waste.
Destinations are becoming more and more popular as couples decide to get away for the big day and bring their family and select friends to a beautiful resort or city that is special to their relationship.
