In recent years, weddings have undergone significant changes. There are many factors that influence how trends evolve, but the biggest change in the world of weddings has been the emergence of the pandemic. Many changes have remained in place over the past few years due to social distancing, and other COVID-19 requirements. While they are not directly related to the pandemic, other trends can give you some insight into 2022’s wedding.
BACKYARD VENENUES
While backyard weddings were a necessity during the pandemic, it appears that this trend is still being followed. The ceremony and reception can both be held at the same place, making it easy for guests and hosts to transition seamlessly from wedding to party. It is economical and people can go without masks in the open, provided there is enough space for proper distancing.
VINTAGE JEWELRY
Vintage and faux-vintage rings will be in fashion in 2022. A vintage piece of jewelry has a nostalgic appeal that brings back memories of simpler times. You will see beautiful, antique-styled wedding rings and sets this year.
WEEKDAY WEDDING DATE
In an effort to reduce costs, many couples are choosing a weekday marriage. A weekday wedding is much more affordable than one on the weekend. Although it can be hard to organize a weekday wedding so that all your friends and family can attend the event, it is possible and often worth the savings.
E-INVITES
The need to alter dates in 2020/2021 led to the creation of electronic wedding invitations and save-the date cards. Because of the pandemic, it was important that wedding plans could be changed easily. E-invites will be available in 2022. You have many options to create them. A virtual invitation has a greater impact on the environment than paper invites.
SHORT WEDDING DRESSES
In the past, long wedding dresses were not common. Traditional styles are still available, but there are also short, or little white, dresses. A little white wedding gown allows brides to easily move from one wedding ceremony to the next. You can say your vows and then hit the dance floor wearing the same dress.
UNIQUE TABLE LAYOUTS
Weddings in 2022 will see more unique layouts due to the need to separate tables. In order to accommodate people from different homes, venues had to think outside the box when setting up tables. Although this may not be required for 2022, creativity is expected to continue and guests will be drawn to unique arrangements.
FLOWER PRESERVATION
While brides may throw their bouquets away or keep one flower in memory, many brides now preserve entire bouquets through flower preservation. For flowers that are associated with great memories, varying methods are increasingly popular.
