1. Mismatched Wedding Party Outfits!
We saw this trend in a few different ways, all of which I think looked AMAZING in photos! We saw suits and dresses in the same colour, but in different styles to suit everyone’s personal preference! We also saw suits and dresses in the same style, but all in different colours or different shades of one colour! I hope that this trend will carry over into 2024, I think it’s beautiful!

2. Statement Florals!
2023 was the year of the bold florals! Whether it be floral arches, pillars, elaborate centerpieces, or stunning bouquets, florals were one of the biggest trends of the year for sure! I hope that this trend will carry over into 2024, I think that a bold floral is an amazing décor choice!

3. Film Photography!

In 2023 we saw a huge resurgence in film photography! I for one am a huge sucker for the grainy look of film! Many photographers are starting to offer this as part of their wedding packages! The results are stunning, the only downfall is the expense and having to wait for the prints to be developed. I hope that this trend will carry over into 2024, however, I also hope that if it gains enough popularity the price will start to go down!

4. Unique Food and Drink Options!
Many couples are choosing to ditch traditional wedding food and drink options, and do something more catered towards them! Some couples are opting to create a custom and more casual menu! Others are opting to replace the huge cake, and replacing it with a dessert table! Lastly, lots of couples are creating a custom cocktail or two with a fun name for their guests to enjoy! The possibilities to customize your menu to your own preferences and personalities are truly endless!

5. Reception Outfit Change!
In 2023 we saw the trend of couples changing into a different and more casual outfit after the ceremony for the reception! I think this trend is so awesome, it allows people to be more comfortable for the dinner and party! However, I really hope people aren’t overpaying for both of their wedding outfits!
