Micro wedding

During the pandemic, many couples chose smaller, more intimate weddings with a narrower circle of guests. Even now, many choose to celebrate a wedding with a smaller group of guests, but allowing themselves to fulfill more things from their wish list. Couples listen more to themselves, choosing specific things that resonate with them personally, rather than being guided by a guest list and a traditional wedding "to do" list.

Gastronomic adventure

this fact often echoes the previous point about the number of guests. Couples are paying more and more attention and budget to a quality meal and bar. Food and drink as an adventure at a wedding.

Without flowers

More and more often, couples are already asking guests to come to the wedding without flowers in the invitation. Often flowers are not appreciated because someone has extra care for them. Transporting flowers, arranging them in vases and delivering them home after the holidays often turn out to be an additional burden.

You can ask to simply arrive without flowers, but there is also the option to ask for something to replace them, such as a bottle of wine, a book, balloons or something else that fits the couple's vision.

Soft drinks

As delicious and high-quality alcoholic cocktails are offered in the bar, non-alcoholic drinks play an equally important role.

Trends show that on average 30% of wedding guests want not to consume alcoholic beverages at the celebration, but do not want to give up delicious non-alcoholic drinks, so it is important to ask for the advice of a professional bartender and think about the offer of non-alcoholic drinks in the bar - equating the taste and appearance to the alcoholic versions.

Personalizing the ceremony

Couples are increasingly choosing to legally marry on another day and to experience a symbolic ceremony on the day of the celebration, led by an invited person or friends. The length and text of the ceremony is customized and personalized. such ceremonies are very personal and original, memorable.

Less decorations and flowers, more decorative elements

It is relevant to design celebration tables with design items, such as special designer tablecloths, cloth napkins, gold tableware, dishes and glasses. Likewise, using more luxurious chairs. all these elements already play a big role in the overall design of the room and are often enough to create a beautiful base for the holiday decoration. A little floristic touch remains to give the room a festive atmosphere

Dating before the wedding

It is popular to hold a meeting, getting to know each other before the wedding. The day before the wedding, the couple organizes a meeting of the guests, reserving a restaurant or terrace for a couple of hours with drinks and snacks, so that the guests get to know each other before the big day, which gives the opportunity to be more united on the wedding day. friends and relatives of the couple who have come from different countries often meet here.

There are many wedding trends to choose from and the right one for you will depend on your personal style, lifestyle, personality and preferences.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to choose a wedding trend that reflects your style and values, and that will create a memorable and meaningful day for you and your partner.
