Wedding trends come and go, and along the way inspire a great number of couples to have a particular wedding theme, colour palette, or typography style on their personalised wedding invitations and wedding stationery, and reception venue décor.
If you’re getting hitched in 2020, and need some creative inspiration for your special day, here’s a selection of the latest trends to follow…
The Sustainable Wedding
Top of the list of what’s trending in weddings in 2020 is the eco-friendly wedding. Sustainability was big news in 2019, and it’s set to hang around for a long while yet. If you and your beloved are environmentally conscious soul mates, this style of wedding is perfect for you. Whether you choose a DIY rustic or glamping country charm theme, sustainable weddings will undoubtedly appeal to couples that adore feeling connected to planet earth.
The sustainable wedding perfectly complements rustic and DIY wedding themes. Send your guests bespoke rustic wedding invitations to the happy event, or handcraft your own. Host your wedding reception in a gorgeous forest setting, or a tipi or barn. You can help to reduce your carbon footprint by being selective about the materials that you use to decorate your wedding venue. Add romantic illumination with soft lighting via candles in chic mason jars, or fairy lights dangling from a string.
Cut costs by using the rustic theme when decorating tables at the wedding reception venue. Pretty handpicked flowers foraged from a garden or field are all that you need to add colour and fragrance. Feed your wedding guests a buffet feast of dishes made from fresh seasonal, locally sourced produce. Vegetarian and vegan fare is particularly on trend this year.
Vintage Glamour
One wedding style trend that is perpetually in fashion is classic and timeless vintage. From elegant embroidered wedding dresses, to chic typography on beautiful bespoke wedding stationery, a vintage inspired wedding is definitely all about the glamour.
If your perfect wedding day features you walking down the aisle to your beloved, in a stunning wedding gown with a cathedral length veil and train sweeping the floor behind you, a vintage wedding will fulfil your dreams. Share your love story with family and friends at a wedding that is formal and traditional. Paying attention to the little details, like hair and fashion accessories, wedding reception crockery, and the wedding photography style will make all the difference. Don’t forget to set the correct tone by sending guests an official invitation to your wedding that is embellished with beautiful vintage style typography that evokes a long gone era.
The popular high necklines and low hemlines of the Victorian wedding dress also flaunt a style upgrade in 2020. On-trend bridal gowns feature ruffles at the neckline, long sheer sleeves, a flowing skirt, and intricate and elaborate lace detailing.
A Palette Of Soft Watercolours
If you adore soft watercolours it’s now fashionable to incorporate them into just about every aspect of your 2020 wedding. Romantic and dreamy watercolour splashes provide a simple but effective embellishment for wedding stationery items, like save the date cards, personalised wedding invitations, RSVP and thank you cards. Adding elegant calligraphy helps to elevate your unique design to a new contemporary level.
You can also use the watercolours in your wedding décor by picking fresh flowers, ribbons, table decorations and other accessories that complement your chosen palette of watery shades and tones.
Fabulously Floral
Lavish floral centrepieces that take up a huge amount of space are no longer considered to be on-trend. When decorating your wedding reception venue with flowers, floral arrangements that are designed like installations provide the maximum impact. Elevate your fabulously floral décor by lifting it off the table and suspending it from the ceiling, to create floral clouds. Alternatively, show off blooms in elegant floral arches and sculptured forms. If you must place flowers on the reception venue tables, make sure that you keep the centrepieces low.
Soft peach, coral, lemon yellow and dusky pink spring and summer flowers are especially effective for displaying in any indoor venue. Pampas grasses, ferns, dried gypsophila, and oversize hydrangeas are ideal for adding shape and texture to your wedding floral displays. For wow factor accessorising that is bang on trend in 2020, choose beautiful roses for the bridal bouquet.
Big & Bold Accessorising
Full, fussy and fancy ornamental accessorising is definitely the biggest wedding style trend of 2020. To impress your wedding guests, go to town when decorating your wedding reception venue. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colours, shapes, patterns, textures and materials, because going overboard is just what this trend is all about.
This bold maximalism style is also influencing the groom’s choice of wedding outfit in 2020. If you’re marrying a man who is a sharp and confident dresser, he may well decide to wear a wedding suit that is made from fabric that is brightly coloured, floral, checkered or patterned. Stripes, Liberty prints and velvet are also popular.
The Micro Wedding
If you’re on a tight budget you will be pleased to know that micro weddings are definitely the way to go this year. Instead of blowing the budget and sending wedding invitations to all and sundry, it’s time to getting picky. For an on-trend micro wedding, you need a maximum of 40 guests. The limited number of VIP wedding guests in attendance on your wedding day makes it extra special.
