5 Wedding Trends You Need On Your Radar

Mixed Bridesmaid Dresses

Many wedding trends are starting to feature more relaxed dress codes, including those within the bridal party. When it comes to bridesmaids, many brides are opting for different dresses that aren't strictly uniformed. In other words, the dresses may vary in their details, from straps to winged sleeves. 

On top of this, the dresses may be more loosely aligned with the chosen colour scheme. Rather than having a uniformed dusky pink, you might choose rust orange and forest green dresses to create a vibrant array of bridesmaids. It's a great way to liven up the photos, plus it gives the bridesmaids a little more leeway when choosing what they'd prefer to wear.

Edgy Venues

A quaint location isn’t for everyone. Thanks to more recent wedding trends, you can get creative with your venue by choosing somewhere that might not feel like a conventional choice but works perfectly for you and your partner. 

Perhaps there's a local brewery you love with a cool industrial interior or a quirky art gallery space that tickles your fancy. Think cool warehouses, family-friendly farms and more. An unconventional venue means you can make the day unique and even integrate unusual extras, from props to entertainment. There really are no limits to your creativity with this!

Smaller Ceremonies

Smaller ceremonies are a great wedding trend to follow in 2023 if you're looking to make the experience more intimate and cost-effective. We all know that pulling together a guest list can cause a bit of a headache. That’s why many are ditching the hassle of intricately detailed seating plans. Instead, they're going for a smaller guest list with only their nearest and dearest in attendance. 

A smaller wedding breakfast could mean that you give those in attendance a more personal experience too. Some opt for a restaurant instead of a larger venue, for example. This could save a large proportion of your budget. Alternatively, you could meet in the middle and embrace a smaller ceremony but celebrate with a larger crowd in the evening. 

Modern Vintage-Inspired Rings

Engagement and wedding rings are a chance to claim something you can treasure forever. It's worth checking the latest 2023 wedding ring trends to get the ball rolling and work out what it is you have in mind. Ideally though, your ring should stand the test of time. 

That's why modern vintage-style rings are becoming a popular choice. Rings under this category incorporate vintage designs that are bound together using contemporary techniques. Whether you choose Edwardian, Victorian, or Georgian-era influences, you can take pride in the fact that your ring will always have that classic feel. 

Minimalism

While traditionally, the expectation is to go all out on decorations, flowers, and entertainment, this is no longer the case. So-called 'maximalism' wedding trends are out for 2023, while cool minimalist weddings are in. In line with the popularity of intimate weddings, a more minimal take on the big day can be just as special. 

From the style of your dress to the décor, minimalism can look however you want it to look. It can be a good opportunity to strip everything back to basics and save money. It’s no secret that weddings are expensive, so why not save that money for the honeymoon instead? Of course, this is down to preference, so if you'd prefer a more indulgent wedding, go for it!
