THE WEDDING FORECAST
Planning a wedding can be very stressful, but it can also be very fun. Think about the things you enjoy doing together, the colours that bring a smile to your face and the food that makes you happy.
We know weddings are deeply personal affairs, and whilst we encourage you to lace your day with meaningful touches, we thought you might want some extra inspiration to plan the perfect event, so keep on reading for the top trends we’re predicting will be everywhere in 2024.
1. Dramatic Accessories
Versatility is one thing many brides will be looking for when it comes to fashion, and accessories are the perfect way to make a statement without having an entire outfit change. From sweeping veils - à la Sophie Habboo - to spectacular capes, think of pieces that can be easily removed to reveal a new look.
2. Wedding Weekends
More and more couples are opting for weekend affairs, offering their guests a complete experience. Inspired by traditions from across the pond, like a rehearsal dinner and a goodbye brunch, newlyweds will be looking for fresh ways to extend their wedding celebrations to the fullest.
3. Something Blue
Brides are embracing unexpected details and pops of colour like never before, with blue accents rising as the top colour choice. Seen everywhere from accessories to mix-and-match bridesmaid styles, to full bridal looks in delicate shades of pastel, expect to see blue as the main feature of many a wedding.
4. Smart Weddings
Technology is a big part of everyone’s lives, so why would weddings be an exception? Starting with digital invitations and online registries to ground-breaking VR experiences for walking down the aisle, soon-to-be-married couples will be experimenting with innovative ways to give their celebration a tech upgrade.
5. Flower Power
Floral-inspired details have been a part of bridal looks for a long time, but this season they come reimagined in novel ways that feel very exciting. Think bold rosettes, dazzling crystal appliqués and bright botanical embroideries.
