Can you feel it?! The flowers are blooming, the weather is warming, and love is in the air! With 2024 upon us, it’s time to dive into the freshest trends shaping the spring weddings this season, and hopefully inspire you soon to be brides & grooms for your big day!
While spring always brings beautiful pastels, 2024 is about embracing vibrancy as well. Think pops of coral, sunny yellows, and rich blues alongside classic blush, lavender, and sage green. This mix of soft and bold creates a dynamic and playful palette for everything from florals to bridesmaid dresses.
Ombré is a beautiful way to play with multiple pastel shades. Ideas include: Ombré wedding cakes, bridesmaid dresses or floral arches and decor.
Rustic Touches: Contrast the softness of pastels with rustic textures for a unique look using wooden crates, table runners and chalkboard signs with pastel calligraphy.
Unexpected Pops: Inject playful surprises with pastels: His & Hers cocktails in soft hues (think a lavender lemonade or a peach Bellini) Pastel macarons or other desserts on the treat table and confetti in soft pastel shades
Move over, formal ballroom! Couples are opting for enchanting outdoor settings and channeling a whimsical garden party atmosphere. Think lush greenery, twinkly lights, and flowing, unstructured floral arrangements. Embrace the natural beauty of spring! Obviously if you are based in the UK like us, you will likely need a wet weather plan and some form of shelter, but with some planning, could be just perfect.
Embrace the English Countryside
Thanks to shows like Bridgerton, the delicate elegance of the Regency era is influencing wedding fashion and decor. This means empire waistlines, lace details, and a focus on romantic, ethereal aesthetics. For a touch of vintage charm, this trend is a dream come true.
Couples want their weddings to be a celebration and an experience for their guests. Interactive elements are huge – live artists capturing the day, creative food stations (think ice cream bikes or personalised gelato), or even a build-your-own-bouquet bar for a fun floral touch.
Hire a wedding painter or illustrator. Imagine having a painting of your wedding ceremony or reception up above the fireplace to forever remind you of your big day! Or have an artist create live drawings of your guests as a wedding favour.
Hire fun catering. Don’t want to stick the standard chicken dinner for your wedding breakfast? This wedding season you could consider hiring some cool independent catering suppliers to elevate your wedding food. From tacos to Lebanese mezes or a woodfired pizza truck the opportunities are endless. Check our independent wedding catering on Go Book It here.
