10 Wedding Trends To Expect in 2023

1. Bold Color Schemes

Selecting your wedding color schemes can truly set the tone for your big celebration. These color choices will influence the look and feel of your ceremony from the bridesmaid dresses, table centerpieces, wedding decor, and more.

For 2023, bold color schemes will reign.

While the previous year saw an increase in a more subdued palette with pale pink as a popular color choice, 2023 is all about bright and bold tones.

Make your wedding color palette pop with the use of jewel tones like emerald, deep reds, or bold blues.

2. Wedding Suits For Women

Planning a wedding typically involves following various cultural and religious traditions, especially when it comes to the wedding attire.

While the traditional white wedding gown is often synonymous with bridal attire, nothing says that women have to opt for a dress.

In fact, in 2023, wedding suits for women will become quite trendy as an alternative to traditional attire.

Stand out in an ever-so stylish manner with a white wedding suit that’s sure to dazzle.

3. Cutting Down Guest List

Planning a wedding can be a stressful process as there are many big decisions that have to be made, especially when it comes to the guest list.

There are many reasons why couples may seek to slim down their guest list. Some reasons may be related to budget, venue size, or simply preference.

Since the global pandemic, this decade has seen the rise in minimonies and micro weddings. However, having a smaller wedding size does not necessarily mean having a smaller or more low key celebration.

Cutting down on your guest list can create a more intimate setting for your big day, as you feel the love and support from your closest friends and family.

In the next year, many couples will continue with this trend and choose to go all-out with a smaller group of people.

As you begin to ask yourself how many people should I invite to my wedding, keep in mind that sometimes the smaller weddings turn out to be the most memorable and meaningful.

4. Destination Weddings

In recent years, many people have been itching to get out more and see the world. If you’ve been bit by the travel bug and are looking to start your marriage off with an adventure, perhaps a destination wedding is the option for you.

Destination weddings can become incredible experiences as you travel to a unique or distant venue with your closest family members and friends to make the commitment to your partner official. These types of weddings turn into remarkable vacations where you can escape the world and discover new adventures with the ones you love.

If you’re planning a trendy destination wedding of your own, don’t forget to start with a detailed wedding budget to help keep your dreams and travel plans on track!

5. Minimalist Wedding Receptions

While some couples may dream of an extravagant and glam wedding ceremony and reception, there’s something to be said about minimalistic wedding receptions.

There’s a beauty in simplicity.

In the year to come, less is more when it comes to wedding decor. Think of a wide, open venue space with light table decorations, and accents of greenery to tie the room together. Sometimes being bold and trendy involves opting for a cleaner and more minimalist approach.

6. Wedding Dress Rental

The wedding dress is a symbolic and iconic piece of attire that the bride traditionally wears to commemorate her big day.

While selecting your ultimate wedding dress is a big deal, it also typically comes with a big price tag. This is especially a difficult expense to justify considering it’ll only be worn for one day.

For the minimalist brides who aren’t necessarily sentimental about owning their wedding dress forever, there’s a new trend in town where you can rent the dress instead.

Choosing to rent a wedding dress will not only save you money, but may also help you afford that fairytale wedding dress of your dreams.

Some wedding attire rental companies may even offer bundles where you can rent an entire look including the dress, veil, wedding shoes, and other accessories, making it a great deal to consider.

7. Eco-Friendly Favors

In recent years, individuals, companies, and organizations alike have begun to pledge their support for more sustainable and eco-friendly products and lifestyles.

As our concern for our environment grows, the idea of living more eco-friendly continues to be a trendy one, and will stay a popular wedding trend for years to come.

If you’re looking to have a more eco-friendly wedding, consider giving your guests wedding favors that even Mother Nature herself would enjoy. Such favors could be potted succulents, bamboo reusable straws, personalized reusable water bottles, homemade bird seed ornaments, or eco-friendly soaps.

8. Fluffy Wedding Bouquet

In 2023, it’s time to be bold with your wedding bouquet styles by opting for an arrangement with big, fluffy flowers.

Let your bridal bouquet make a statement with its whimsical, cloud-like appearance.

The best way to create this trendy, fluffy style is by incorporating floral elements such as pampas grass. Large budding flowers like roses, peonies, and magnolias will also help create this fluffy bouquet style.

9. Outdoor Weddings

Indoor venues can be restricting when it comes to guest capacity, socialization, and room for fun wedding activities. Sometimes it’s nice to escape from our confined indoor spaces and enjoy the freedom of being outdoors and connecting with nature.

Outdoor weddings will continue to increase in popularity throughout the 2023 wedding season. Embrace the great outdoors with a wedding theme that matches your surroundings, whether that be an enchanted forest theme, a magical mountainous ceremony, or a rustic countryside celebration.

10. Bridal Subscription Boxes

Wedding planning can be stressful, but getting special monthly wedding-themed gift boxes can help ease your worries.

Yes, bridal subscription boxes do in fact exist and upcoming brides-to-be simply can’t get enough of them.

We all love receiving packages. They’re a fun way to bring joy to our days. Bridal subscription services deliver curated packages directly to your door for as many months as you’d like leading up to your big day. Typically, brides choose between three to twelve months’ worth of products with each surprise box containing anything from sweets, mugs, T-shirts, cake toppers, beauty products, bath bombs, and more.

These subscription boxes can provide a nice respite from the stress of calculating wedding expenses, touring different venues, and putting together your guest list and seating chart. All brides deserve a nice break!
