Weddings are among the most special occasions in one's life, and it's not surprising that every wedding is unique. New wedding trends emerge every year, and couples always look for fresh ideas to make their big day unforgettable. If you're planning a wedding in 2024, here are the top four wedding trends you need to know and how the Little Events Company is leaning into the trends!
1. Intimate Weddings
Even after the pandemic in 2020, couples are still opting for intimate weddings with only a few close family members and friends. This trend is here to stay, as couples now recognise the benefits of having a small wedding. They can invest more in the quality of their guests' experiences, focus on personalisation, and create a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
We are more than happy to accommodate however many guests you have. We can decorate any size venue you book, from a pub or village hall to a barn or manor house.
2. Sustainability
Sustainability is a growing trend in all aspects of life, and weddings are no exception. Couples are now more conscious of their environmental impact and are opting for eco-friendly options. This includes choosing venues using renewable energy, faux flowers and vegan food.
At the Little Events Company, we use artificial flowers, which is fantastic for your eco-wedding. We love real flowers; they are beautiful, but your wedding budget doesn't agree. Why not use silk flowers that are as close to the real thing as possible and save money?
Did you know that floral foam (the foam florists use to put your flowers in for centrepieces and other displays) contains the same amount of plastic as ten plastic carrier bags!!
3. Pastels are back!
2024 wedding trends are pastel colour palettes, incorporating classic minimalist styles, and using nature-inspired elements. As a bride, you don't need to feel pressured to follow old-fashioned traditions or choose typical wedding colours and styles. Brainstorm wedding ideas from your favourite colours, personal aesthetic, home decor, and how you like to express yourself.
Light and airy colours are the most popular options for weddings in 2024. Whether you opt for pale pink, sky blue, or neutral beige, these colours will suit any wedding in any season.
Whether you use a pastel colour palette or not, we can tweak our designs to suit you and your theme. Are your bridesmaids in pink? We can incorporate that into your backdrop. Or why not have the Pink Blossoms trees for the aisle? We are experts in design and decor - tell us your ideas, and we can make them a reality.
4. Non-traditional Wedding Attire
Couples are breaking away from the traditional white wedding dress and black tuxedo. Brides now opt for more colourful dresses, jumpsuits, and even pantsuits. Grooms also explore different styles, including patterned suits and brightly coloured jackets.
Whatever your colour, theme, and style, we can alter and change our decor to suit your special day! Do you want all the different centrepieces for your Wedding Breakfast? We have a ton of designs to choose from!
Planning a wedding can be daunting, but keeping up with the latest trends can help you make informed decisions. Whether planning an intimate wedding or a grand celebration, incorporating these trends will make your big day unforgettable.
We cannot wait to hear from you!
