Newly recommended wedding supplier Beth Beresford joins Bruisyard to share her throughout on 2024 wedding trends.

Every year, the world of weddings evolves, with new trends and creative ideas emerging to shape the future of nuptials. As we step into the year 2024, a fresh wave of wedding trends promises to make celebrations more personalised, sustainable, and enchanting than ever before. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at the exciting wedding trends that are expected to dominate the wedding landscape in 2024.

Sustainable Celebrations

Environmental consciousness continues to inspire wedding trends in 2024. Couples are focusing on reducing their wedding's carbon footprint by opting for sustainable choices. This includes sourcing locally, using eco-friendly decor, and reducing waste. Expect to see more green weddings with biodegradable confetti, reusable tableware, and ethical fashion choices.

Micro Weddings and Elopements

The trend of intimate weddings, which gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, is here to stay. Couples are choosing to keep guest lists small, prioritising quality time with their closest loved ones. Elopements to picturesque destinations, whether domestically or internationally, are becoming more popular as couples seek unique and intimate experiences.

Non-Traditional Venues & Set Ups

In 2024, expect to see couples opt for non-traditional wedding venues, such as art galleries, museums, urban rooftops and outdoor ceremonies. These unconventional settings provide a blank canvas for creativity, allowing couples to infuse their personalities into every aspect of the celebration. With this I am seeing more and more doing “the legal bit” on another day entirely, allowing complete freedom.

Inclusive and Diverse Celebrations

Weddings in 2024 will celebrate diversity and inclusivity like never before. Couples are embracing traditions from various cultures and backgrounds, blending them into unique and meaningful ceremonies that truly represent their love story.

Technological Enhancements

Technology is becoming an integral part of weddings. Live Streaming ceremonies for remote guests, 3D-printed wedding decor, and virtual reality wedding tours are just a few ways technology is enhancing the wedding experience. Content creators, or creation, look like it will step it up another level in 2024. With couples hiring content creators instead of a videographer, as a slightly more affordable option. Rough and uncut, but beautifully raw and authentic footage.

Personalised Experiences

Personalisation is at the forefront of wedding trends. Couples are crafting unique experiences for their guests, from custom wedding favours to personalised ceremonies that tell their love story. One of my favourites is a couple where golf was a large part of their life and wanted to incorporate this into their day, they did this by hiring an entire mini golf course

Sustainability-Focused Fashion

One of my favourite tops, sustainable fashion, which is now extending beyond decor to wedding attire. Expect to see more brides and grooms wearing eco-friendly and ethical fashion choices, from locally-made wedding dresses to groom attire crafted from sustainable materials.

Floral Installations

2024 wedding trends are all about going big with floral decor. Expect to see grand, awe-inspiring floral installations, from arches and hanging florals to epic table centerpieces.

Retro Vibes

After Dolce & Gabbana’s launch of their retro fashion collection with Kim Kardashian last September, new takes on fashion from the 90’s have taken the world by storm. The nostalgia trend continues to gather pace in 2024, with couples embracing retro aesthetics.

Sustainable Catering

Sustainable dining options are on the rise, with more couples choosing farm-to-table and plant-based catering for their wedding meals. Reducing meat consumption and focusing on local, organic options is a growing trend.

As we venture into 2024, wedding trends are evolving to reflect the changing tastes and values of modern couples. Sustainability, personalization, and inclusivity are at the forefront, promising a future of memorable and unique weddings. Whether you're planning your own nuptials or simply love staying up-to-date with the latest wedding trends, 2024 is sure to bring a wave of creativity and innovation to the world of weddings.
