This Season’s Wedding Trends

I recently celebrated a milestone birthday and done all the planning myself.

I wanted it to be the wedding I never had, which made me realise how difficult it can be to plan a wedding!

With that in mind, let’s talk about some wedding trends for 2024 and beyond.

Every couple’s wedding is a day that they will always remember. And with memory making often being a sensory experience, it is important to get the sights, sounds and smells on your special day planned ahead of time so they are just right. 

To do this, brides and grooms will begin thinking of colours for the theme, food and drink flavours for the meals, cakes and beverages, their favourite family members and friends, locations that fit their budget and settings such as the sea, forest, veld, or other beautiful events venues. 

That said, wedding trends for each year come about because of a mixture of the tastes and preferences of couples, the popularity of certain aesthetics, foods and flowers during that season, wedding planners, and, of course, a healthy dose of interference from family members.

As the Southern Hemisphere looks towards autumn and winter, couples will be planning weddings suited for the colder months, which may mean that weddings are more affordable because of lower demand in comparison to spring and summer.
