• Relaxed Etiquette – Weddings have lots of traditions, and these traditions come with lots of etiquette, from what you can wear to what side of the aisle you sit on during the ceremony. An original wedding trend is relaxing this etiquette and having a more natural, spontaneous celebration without so many rules. 

• Weekday Weddings – Thanks to pandemic-related wedding postponements in 2020 and 2021, 2022 was chock full of weddings. As such, many couples had no choice but to book their big day on a Friday, Sunday, or even a weekday. While this might not seem ideal at first, weekday weddings are great for cutting costs, reducing stress, and being more original. 

• Experience Gifts – While wedding guests are still gifting gravy boats and silverware, many guests are choosing to gift experiences instead. It’s a lot of fun to give the bride and groom a gift card or cash for a massage, honeymoon activity, or a date night for down the road. 

• High-Tech Weddings – There is a lot of new technology that’s making wedding planning easier and more fun. From website hosting services and online RSVPs to gift trackers and even Zoom or streamed ceremonies, there are many ways you can incorporate technology into your big day to make it more unique. 

• Farm Chic – Rustic, farm-chic weddings were all the rage in 2022. These weddings are great because they’re relaxed, fun, and fresh. Plus, they allow for lots of greenery, flowers, and other natural elements that will help the photos stand the test of time. Natural décor elements like plush seating in neutral tones and wooden elements, such as benches, planks for signs, and round logs for the rings or wedding cake match this rustic theme and will also make photos timeless. 

• Dried or Seasonal Flowers – Sustainability has been a major focus in 2023. One way couples have been reducing waste and increasing sustainability is by using in-season or dried flowers. As a bonus, seasonal and dried flowers are often much more affordable than out of season flowers, meaning you’ll also save money while you save the planet. 

• Rectangular Tables – Long, banquet style dinner tables are very popular right now. These tables evoke warmth romanticism, almost like a banquet hall out of a romance novel. These tables also allow for lots of greenery, candles, and other beautiful décor.
