Happy new year! We are so excited to get into this fresh season of weddings! With a new year of weddings comes new and old trends, and also trends that are on their way out. We wanted to deep dive into our predictions of what’s here to stay in 2024, and what it’s time to say goodbye to!

Let’s start out with what we think is in for 2024! These are new and old trends that we think we will definitely be seeing more of this year.
Different pattern and colored bridesmaid dresses
Personable guestbooks - After The Tone, or a personal item to keep.
Private cake cuttings
Bows
Wedding weekend activities - We’re seeing a pretty big increase of Friday weddings, which leaves the whole rest of the weekend to be able to plan festive activities
Table side charcuterie instead of plated salads
Color! While the timeless ivory and black color scheme will always be in style, we are definitely seeing a lot of color and we’re so here for it!
Dress changes from ceremony into reception
Rented bars
Personalized seating charts
Film and flash photography
Candid moments for storytelling photos and a little less posed
Champagne towers
Guest dress codes - bright garden party, all black, etc. This goes beyond just the type of attire like black-tie or semi formal
Destination weddings

Just to clarify- these are just predictions. It is in no way, shape, or form “bad” to have any of these out items planned for your 2024 wedding. They have been included in weddings before for a reason, but we’re just predicting a little rest from them.
