The wedding industry is constantly changing as trends come and go. Some of the most popular trends in weddings today are likely to change soon enough, and there will be new ones just around the corner. Here’s a list of 5 things you’ll see more or less of in 2022!
Celebrity Style Weddings
We’ve seen a growing trend of couples opting for celebrity-style weddings in recent years. From lavish ceremonies complete with red carpets and paparazzi to extravagant receptions featuring A-list entertainers, more and more couples are choosing to emulate the weddings of the rich and famous. And it’s no wonder why — a celebrity wedding provides an opportunity to create an unforgettable event that will be discussed for years to come.
While the cost of a celebrity wedding can be prohibitive for most couples, there are ways to achieve the same look and feel without breaking the bank. For example, instead of hiring a world-renowned planner, work with a local wedding planner who can provide similar services at a fraction of the cost. And rather than booking a top-tier band or DJ, consider hiring a cover band or using a music streaming service like Spotify.
More Emphasis on Jewelry
In recent years, the trend in wedding jewelry has been to choose simple, elegant pieces that complement the bride’s overall look. However, 2022 is shaping up to be a year when more brides choose to make a statement with their jewelry.
Gold bands with diamonds are trendy, as they add a touch of luxury without being too flashy. Platinum and gold are also popular choices for those looking to add a bit of sparkle to their wedding day look. Whatever your style, remember that your wedding jewelry should reflect your personality and taste. So don’t be afraid to go bold in 2022!
Couples are also opting for alternatives other than diamond rings for something that suits their personalities. This has increased the demand for gemstone rings. Some popular gemstone rings are rings with emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. They are unique and different from traditional diamond rings.
Intimate Weddings
In recent years, intimate weddings have been on the rise, and this is only expected to continue in the coming years. Many opt for more intimate gatherings, with couples increasingly feeling pressured to have lavish, over-the-top celebrations. This shift has been driven in part by the popularity of destination weddings, as well as a desire to focus on quality over quantity.
In an intimate setting, couples can better enjoy the company of their closest family and friends without having to worry about impressing guests with an extravagant display. As we move further into 2022, expect to see even more couples embracing this trend and choosing to celebrate their love in a more personal way.
Unique Venues
While the pandemic has put a damper on weddings in 2020, it is predicted that 2022 will see a surge in demand for unique wedding venues.
With social distancing guidelines likely to remain in place for the foreseeable future, couples will be looking for creative ways to celebrate their big day. Popular choices are likely to include outdoor venues such as parks and gardens, as well as private residences and even corporate event spaces.
In addition, with many couples seeking to downsize their guest list, intimate settings are expected to be in high demand. As a result, couples planning their wedding in 2022 should start their venue search early to ensure they secure the perfect setting for their big day.
DIY Weddings
Do-it-yourself weddings are becoming more popular as couples seek to personalize their big day and save money. A DIY wedding can be a fun and unique way to celebrate your relationship, and it often results in a more intimate and laid-back celebration.
While DIY weddings require extra planning and effort, they can often be more affordable than traditional ones. Plus, with so many online resources, it’s easier than ever to plan and execute a DIY wedding. If you’re considering a DIY wedding, here are a few tips to get you started.
First, start planning early. This will give you plenty of time to research vendors, book venues, and design your invitations and wedding website. Second, enlist the help of friends and family. They can help with everything from catering to decorations. Finally, don’t be afraid to get creative. There are endless possibilities for DIY weddings, so don’t be scared to experiment and have fun with it!
These are just a few of the wedding trends that will be popular in 2022. There are many more unique ways couples try to celebrate their special days. Keep an eye out for them, and whatever you do, don’t be afraid to try something new!
