• After Parties – The wedding doesn’t have to end when the reception is over! Wedding after parties are very popular right now, and for good reason. They allow friends, family and other people close to the couple to spend even more time celebrating and connecting. They are also popular because they are more casual events that allow for guests to take off their high heels and relax. You can have an after party at your hotel or home, or you can arrange one at an event center to make it just as fun as the reception itself. 
  
• Food Worthy of Social Media – Food is always a big deal at weddings. But these days, in the era of Instagram pictures of snacks and TikTok videos about recipes, food is even more important. That’s why a big wedding trend is social media-worthy food, meaning dishes that are creative and beautiful just as much as they are tasty. Try finger foods, tapas, fun DIY bars, and lots and gorgeous desserts. 
  
• Edible Place Cards – Its common for couples to put place cards at the seats of the reception so guests know where they’re supposed to sit. A newer tradition is edible place cards. These often take the form of chocolates or truffles on top of paper place cards, or even place cards made out of chocolate with edible printing. You can also make your place cards double as your party favors. For example, make DIY labels on mini bottles of wine and place those at every seat so guests know where to go and they have a tasty treat they can take home. 
  
• Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses – While uniform bridesmaid dresses are still beautiful, weddings are seeing more and more mismatched bridesmaid looks. This trend doesn’t mean disjointed dresses, but rather dresses that are similar but still allow for personal style or flair. For example, one bridesmaid might wear a midi dress in baby pink while another could wear a floor length dress in the same color. Or they could both wear similar long dresses in different shades of pink. It really is a beautiful trend as it allows each bridesmaid to stand out a little on their own. 
  
• Burgundy – The color burgundy is making a big comeback in wedding décor for 2023. This reddish shade works well as a bridesmaid dress color or even as a groomsmen suit. Plus, there are lots of flowers in burgundy hues that will match a whole host of greenery and décor choices. Navy, black, and green all look great with burgundy.
