A new year means fun new wedding trends. From sustainable event centers to personalized cocktails and more, here is a list of wedding trends to keep an eye on in 2020.

A new year means new trends in every industry, including weddings. There are new wedding trends that pop up every single year, and 2020 is no different. Whether you’re planning a wedding at an event center in San Juan, TX or are just looking to stay on top of any future wedding needs, this list of wedding trends for 2020 is here to help and inspire.

Sustainable Weddings – Sustainability is here to stay. With our global effect on the environment, couples are taking a stand when it comes to their wedding and choosing sustainability. Look for sustainable options like resetting old family jewelry, using recycled paper for invitations, repurposing ceremony flowers in the reception, hiring a local caterer that uses sustainable and local ingredients, and only hiring vendors that emphasize sustainability.

Personalized Cocktails – Mixology and craft cocktails are so trendy that they’ve made their way to weddings. Many couples are hiring mixologists to craft signature and personalized cocktails for their wedding reception to show off their personal tastes. Plus, only having two special cocktails is cheaper than a full open bar.

Inclusive Menus – There are a lot of different diets, intolerance and dietary preferences out there. These diet varieties can make wedding mealtimes very tricky, so many couples are choosing to create menus that are inclusive for as many people as possible with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options.

Wedding Hashtags – While wedding hashtags aren’t exactly new, they are quickly becoming a wedding must. If your wedding doesn’t have a hashtag did it really happen? Hashtags aren’t just for fun, though. They allow guests to post their photos to social media in a consolidated way so everyone can find and enjoy snapshots long before the professional pictures are ready.

Different Cakes – Instead of having one flavor of cake or cupcakes, lots of couples are switching it up with lots of different flavors and layers. Many are also choosing to include different desserts beyond the traditional cake and cupcake options like cheesecakes, cookies, donuts, and brownies.

Hair Accessories – Brides are passing on the traditional veil for more modern tiaras, combs, flowers and other unique hair accessories.

Lighting – Nothing can set the mood like the right kinds of lighting. Weddings are becoming more and more about lighting with couples looking for more customization bringing in their own lights to their venue. This allows them to create and sustain their own aesthetic vision and make something incredibly personal and special.

Donations – The traditional registry is on its way out. Many people are getting married later in life when they already have a fully stocked kitchen and home. Since they don’t need a blender, vacuum, or Dutch oven, couples are instead asking for donations to a honeymoon fund or another cause that’s important to them.
