Planning a wedding is an exciting endeavour, and staying on top of the latest trends is a must for the modern style-conscious bride.
If you want to infuse your special day with contemporary glamour and elegance, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here, we’ll unveil (pun intended!) some of the hottest wedding ideas that are currently trending among the blushing brides of 2023.
Industrial Chic
The industrial chic theme is one of the most popular wedding décor trends for the modern bride. Think exposed brick walls, raw wooden accents, and gleaming metallic finishes. Incorporate elements such as Edison bulb lighting, geometric shapes, and minimalist centrepieces to create an edgy yet sophisticated ambience.
This trend is perfect for couples who appreciate the beauty of urban aesthetics and desire a modern, industrial-inspired wedding.
Eco-Friendly Nuptials
The effects of climate change are being felt around the world, and the desire to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly has infused every aspect of society – including the wedding industry.
As a result, many betrothed couples are opting to plan sustainable nuptials. If you’re keen to follow suit with your big day, the good news is that there are plenty of tips and tricks to make your celebrations both magical and kind to the planet.
From sending out digital wedding invites and choosing dresses you can re-wear to sourcing your wedding feast from local suppliers and using biodegradable or compostable decorations, there are so many things you can do to make your wedding a sustainable success.
Think Outside The Box
While some people love traditional weddings with their time-honoured rituals, others are increasingly keen to infuse their ceremonies with something fresh and unique.
From ditching the classic ‘big white dress’ for a stylish trouser suit to custom made jewellery to holding a pub quiz the night before the big day and hosting a wedding party that spans a whole weekend, more and more couples are opting to buck tradition and do things their way.
Bold Colour Palettes
Gone are the days of pastel and muted hues. Modern brides are embracing bold and vibrant colour palettes to make a statement. Opt for rich jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or deep burgundy to create a striking visual impact.
Mix and match complementary colours or use a monochromatic scheme to add drama and energy to your wedding décor. Consider incorporating the bold hues of your choice into everything from your floral arrangements to your table linens.
Even your elegant dinner candles can come in the vibrant shades of your choice; Shearer Candles offer a variety of candles in gorgeous colours that will light up your wedding tables in more ways than one!
The 80s Are Back In Vogue
While the effortless chic of minimalistic weddings remains very popular in 2023, the oversized fashions and statement style of the 80s have also returned to take the wedding world by storm. Think sweeping veils, high necklines, big hair, massive bows, and bold sleeves!
Of course, the epic 80s style doesn’t stop at the wedding dress – you can carry it through to the décor and even the wedding feast. A towering many-tiered wedding cake adorned with plenty of icing screams 80s’ deliciousness and is sure to make a mouth-watering impression on your guests.
Enjoy Your Stylish I-Dos!
As a modern bride, you have the freedom to choose the wedding fashions and décor that suit your unique style and personality. By embracing the latest trends, you can create a memorable and contemporary celebration that will leave a lasting impression on you and your guests.
