A wedding is a special event that many only get to plan once in their life. Thus, it should be a beautiful reflection of both partner’s tastes. However, if you have a difficult time merging the two, it can be helpful to incorporate some current wedding trends into your upcoming nuptials.
If you’re planning on tying the knot in 2022, here are some of the most popular wedding trends for you to consider.
Popular Wedding Trends in 2022
Wedding Registry Fund Pools
When Marie Kondo wrote her book on the KonMari method, millions all over the word decided to offload extraneous items and make a conscious effort to not stockpile more. Believe it or not, this is being reflected in weddings as well. In 2022, you’re going to notice that instead of having a wedding registry full of material items, many couples are opting to have a wedding registry fund that will either contribute towards a personal goal of the couple’s or will be donated to charity after the wedding.
Skipping the Toss
To many, activities like the garter and the flower toss are becoming seen as rather trite, antiquated wedding traditions. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you go to a wedding in 2022 and see that these events have been skipped.
Shorter Wedding Dresses
In the past, it has been trendy for the bride to wear a longer dress during the ceremony and a shorter dress during the reception. However, don’t be surprised in 2022 if you see a bride wearing a short dress throughout the entire wedding. Seen as both cute and more comfortable, the little white dress is going to be making waves at weddings throughout 2022.
Bringing the Bold Colors
As for colors, don’t expect to attend many weddings with pastel color pallets. Instead, weddings are going to be moving towards more bold tones.
Wedding Portraits
One exciting new trend is something of a blast from the past. In addition to having a wedding photographer, many couples are deciding to commission a wedding portrait on their big day. They may even have a caricature artist at the reception to draw funny renditions of the wedding guests.
Email Invitations
Many of the 2022 wedding trends are more environmentally friendly than trends of the past. One example of that is saving paper and ink by sending wedding invitations over email instead of sending them through traditional mail.
Favors Fading Away
Do you still have the last favor you got at a wedding, or did you accidentally leave it behind? To avoid this sometimes wasteful expense, many couples are deciding to not hand out wedding favors.
Bursting the Balloons
One of the recent wedding trends that is fading away in 2022 is balloon decorations. As many couples become more environmentally conscious, they are opting for more natural decorations than balloons. For example, a couple may have a flower arch instead of a balloon arch.
The Return of Table Service
For a while, buffet-style dinners were showing up at weddings more often than traditional table service. However, COVID-19 concerns have made it so that the buffet style is becoming less popular and causing couples to move back towards table service.
Welcoming Weekday Weddings
Due to more working professionals enjoying flexible or remote work schedules, it has become easier to take time off from work in order to attend a wedding. Therefore, many couples are opting to host weekday weddings instead of weekend weddings because it is much cheaper to book most wedding venues on weekdays.
