2021 Wedding Trends to Keep in Mind

  • Vacations Over Vacuums

2020 initiated the era to revamp wedding registries. The year 2021 will see the trend continue. Instead of asking for home decor, house appliances, or silverware, couples are looking forward to having experiences over anything else. 

Looking at this scenario, the gifting pattern has changed and people are more appreciative of honeymoon funds or gift cards for restaurants as a wedding gift.

  • Intimate Celebrations

Believe it not, but the year 2021 will continue to see intimate weddings. Out of both necessity and preference, people would be willing to keep it a small and intimate affair. While your wedding ceremony could be small, you can spend the rest of your budget on your guests, decor, and other elements of the ceremony. Consequently, we will see lavish, but intimate weddings. 

  • Longer Ceremonies

As weddings are getting smaller, couples are having the financial ability to have longer ceremonies. They can get a chance to spend more time with their closest friends and family. Instead of wrapping up the wedding in a day, couples are looking to keep the party going in the days following the wedding.

  • Alternative Wedding Dresses

An extravagant wedding with a lavish white dress is not a compulsion anymore. The year 2021 will see more alternative options including alternative wedding dresses or even none dresses including pantsuits or two-piece suits. Couples are more interested in looking for outfits that go well with the theme of their wedding rather than traditional outfits. Of late, wedding dresses are also being personalized with a lot of designers coming up with new ideas. 

  • A Mix of Beautiful Traditions 

Marriage is a blend of two families along with their traditions. Hence, having one wedding ritual is long gone. Instead, couples are looking for ceremonies that can mix two traditions and cultures into one big ceremony. On the other hand, other sets of couples are looking for more decent options including a quaint dinner with friends or family instead of a big wedding. 

The wedding industry has changed and so are we. The wedding trends of 2021 reflect simplicity above anything else. It shows that weddings are less about throwing a huge party, but more about having quality time with your friends and family. With this thought in mind, hope you have a happy wedding ceremony in the coming year with your loved ones there to celebrate with you!
