1.Vibrant and bold Colour Palettes
Is it time to say goodbye to traditional pastels? In 2024, it appears that couples may be choosing vibrant and unconventional color palettes for their wedding colors that reflect their personality and creativity. Expect bold and unexpected combinations that make a statement including deep purples, maroons as well as icy and dusky blues. Vibrant shades of orange, pink and even vivid yellow shades are making clashes of color here and there.
2.Personalized Wedding Experiences
Every couple is unique, and there are many ways to reflect individuality in your wedding. In 2024, expect to see more personalized touches throughout the celebration such as custom cocktails, story-telling seating charts, monogram branding on decor items, choreographed dances as well as live painters and cultural elements to complement the decor or entertainment. The Jing Wo Cultural Association has performed the traditional dragon dance along with a marital arts show at several weddings in Calgary in celebration of the Chinese culture. One couple added The Pungmul Korean drum performance to their reception to acknowledge a marriage of two cultures providing all of their guests with a sense of community and tradition.
3.Interactive Food and Beverage Experiences
Couples are elevating the culinary experience at weddings. Interactive food stations, food trucks, and chef's tables are becoming more common, offering guests a memorable and engaging dining experience. Breakfast themed bars, soda bars, popcorn bars, hot chocolate bars, mimosa bars and many more opportunities for catering are presented to customize their food and beverage experience.
4.Artistic Photography Styles
I think this is my favorite trend that has been gaining popularity in 2023. Couples in 2024 may gravitate towards artistic and editorial photography styles that capture candid moments and tell a compelling story. It's about preserving the emotion and authenticity of the day. Film wedding photography is in the limelight - and it’s easy to see why. Nostalgia is often on trend, and in recent times where everything is conveniently in digital format, film wedding photography has a different and unique appeal. Direct flash was also requested more often by couples in 2023 and offers a more dynamic and spontaneous look to photos with a high fashion feel.
5.Sustainable Wedding Favours
Eco-friendly wedding favors, such as reusable items, plantable seeds, or charitable donations, are becoming the preferred choice over traditional trinkets. These meaningful tokens leave a positive impact on our local and global communities. Couples are also choosing to leave out the wedding favours altogether in exchange for more focus on the "experience" take-away rather than the "token" take-away.
