What’s in, what’s out for weddings in 2024
2023 is coming to a close and it’s taking some wedding trends with it. This is what we hope to see in 2024 and a few things we HATED in 2023.
Do us a favor
Out: (Lame) wedding favors. There are better ways to use your budget—ones that your guests will appreciate more than Jordan almonds.
In: Going full Annie Leibovitz. Have your photographer snap some family portraits of your guests (that you’re not in). Now they don’t need to coordinate a family photo for their holiday card next year! How nice of you.
No more Nashville
Out: Wedding parties. We hate the $3,000 bachelorette trip to Nashville!!! And so do your friends!!!
In: Get ready with your friends, have them make a toast–all the fun, none of the financial burden. Buy them a silk robe if you must.
Kiss cam
Out: PDA. It’s embarrassing to tell your partner that you’ll love them even if they’re poor in front of your college roommate. It just is. You don’t need an audience for your ceremony.
In: Intimate ceremonies. Something we love (and hope to see a lot of this year) is couples exchanging vows privately a day or two before their big bash.
Waste not
Out: Wasteful crap.. Single use decor like custom Etsy signs with that same font every wedding uses, plastic sunglasses, flip-flops for the dance floor. You don’t need this stuff and it all goes to a landfill. Think of sweet, sweet Greta Thunburg. She’d be so bummed.
In: Sustainable ceremonies. Yay biodegradable confetti!
Social media pariah
Out: Wedding hashtags. #Stoppppp
In: Just, ya know, post normally.
