Wedding Trends for 2023: Breaking Tradition

Wedding Trends for 2023: Breaking Tradition When it comes to something so traditional as a wedding, it can be hard to break convention. But with so many fun and unique wedding trends on the rise, why not give it a try? From wardrobe to menu, here are some of the top wedding trends we predict will be big in 2023!

Do the Unthinkable: Ditch the White Dress

When it comes to wedding trends that break tradition, this may be the biggest and baddest of them all. By trying a bolder color such as a bright red or even an all-black wedding gown, you will be making a statement with your look and will surely stand out from other brides. Of course, foregoing the classic white wedding dress isn’t for everybody.  However, there are a few other wardrobe wedding trends to consider such as curated wedding wardrobes and mismatched wedding party gowns. We’ve seen bridesmaids getting a lot more freedom when it comes to choosing their dresses. Letting them choose their own color, pattern, or style allows them to show off their personality. It also makes for a more chic aesthetic! Meanwhile, brides can curate the perfect wedding wardrobe. From the rehearsal dinner, to the ceremony, and finally to the reception – you can keep everyone’s eyes on you with your cohesive wedding looks. 

Say Goodbye With Sweet Treats

Another wedding trend adds a little something unexpected (and delicious!) for your guests. We’re talking about adding a Dessert On the Go station. We’ve been there – all of your wedding guests are rocking the dance floor when dessert is served. Before they know it, it’s the end of the night and they haven’t eaten any dessert. To ensure all your guests get a sweet treat, we recommend adding a to-go dessert station to your wedding. These stations will allow guests to feel like they are not missing out on dessert while owning the dance floor. Plus, the to-go desserts double as a parting favor! What better way to say goodbye to guests than with some sweet treats right? Some popular dessert to-go stations include a Holy Cannoli station, Donut Wall, and Clarks Shell Cookies. If you and your guests have a sweet tooth, you should definitely give this wedding trend a try.

Sayonara Snail Mail

If you’re wedding planning for 2023, consider scrapping formal wedding invitations and going for something more modern instead. We get it – there is nothing quite like receiving something in the mail. But mail can get lost. If you want to avoid the inevitable “I didn’t get an invitation.” choose to share your wedding details with a cleverly crafted evite or postcard. Not only does this option help reduce your environmental footprint, but it also adds an extra dash of personality and fun to one of the most important days of your life! Plus, it’s a great way to show your guests how unique and special your wedding day will be. Saying “I do” and saving the planet is a great combination, don’t you think?

Ceremonies With A View

If you want to get ahead of wedding trends for 2023, then why not plan a ceremony with a view? You may think that means having your wedding outdoors in nature; but what if it rains? Unfortunately, Mother Nature isn’t always on your side. Instead, you can still enjoy a beautiful beachside backdrop, but from the dry confines of a gorgeous ballroom- perfect for those stunning wedding pictures! Even better, you can incorporate nature into the decor of your wedding ceremony to create an idyllic atmosphere that your friends and family will love!
