With a new year comes new wedding trends! Although the Covid-19 pandemic limitations have been eased somewhat in comparison to the previous two years, soon-to-be-married couples are scrambling for new, unorthodox wedding ideas. This is because many of their guests may be attending their first wedding in a long time! We understand the panic; you simply cannot expect pre-pandemic wedding trends to still work just fine!
The amount of time and care couples spend on personalizing is a recurring trend at recent weddings. A personal touch lends a hint of wholesomeness to the wedding, whether it’s guest cards or a personally curated food menu. Couples are leaning towards unconventional ideas to lighten their weddings, from décor to props for photography to a quirky dress code.
Here are some of our favorite current wedding décor trends, that is so relevant in 2022:
Luxurious Celebrations
The wedding industry, as well as couples who want to marry in a traditional Indian fashion, have had a tough time in the last two years. The guest list was significantly cut during the pandemic due to many constraints. Nevertheless, despite things returning to normal today, the list does not appear to have returned! Couples are in love with the idea of a modest, intimate wedding packed with luxury, as opposed to the traditional “Big fat Indian wedding“.
Beautiful overhead lighting is another luxurious element that has recently become popular, particularly in outdoor weddings. It gives a touch of refinement to the overall wedding look while keeping things light!
Destination Weddings
Although some may argue that destination weddings never truly go out of style, few have taken place in the last two years. Couples are keen to explore and have a fun-filled wedding now that the constraints have been lifted. Along with the wedding festivities, visitors are also entertained with unusual activities such as amusing photo booths, live stand-up comedy shows, beach parties, and so on. Outdoor décor is quite significant during destination weddings, whether the location is on the beach or in a quaint hilly area. Umbrellas, bicycles, lanterns, and other colorful décor work nicely as both décor and photo props.
If you’re planning a destination wedding, make sure to research travel restrictions ahead of time and adhere to all safety precautions for a stress-free wedding!
Bridgerton Inspired Themes
Bridgerton is a popular Netflix series that was quite popular around the beginning of 2022. Despite the fact that the show is originally English, it incorporated a lot of Indian themes, including an Indo-British wedding that warmed the hearts of the audience. The show’s vintage aesthetic is a hit with fans, who want to merge the cottage-core English aesthetic into a traditional Indian wedding. Some of these suggestions are worth considering, whether it’s the baby blue accent for the overall wedding theme, talks of gorgeous lace in the wedding dress, or the emphasis on calligraphed guest invites.
Fairytale Lighting
Fairytale lights are the most contemporary touch you can add to your wedding. They can be used in a million different ways at your wedding to create a romantic and relaxing vibe. There are several ways to include this elegant yet basic lighting into your wedding. From suspending them above the dining area to décor corners. You can use them in mandaps or fancy entryways, and even dreamy canopies and tree lights, take your pick!
Ombre Tones
Ombre tones are really popular these days in everything, from bridal gowns to wedding decor! Multi-colored themes are extremely in style. Whether it is classic monochrome tones or mixing and matching strong colors for a vibrant splash at the wedding! The floral arrangements at weddings are a popular place where ombre tones look fantastic. Although red and yellow or pink and purple floral arrangements are timeless, a vibrant flower goes well with a somber white arrangement. This is the perfect theme if you want to go for a more subtle look for your wedding.
Bollywood Themed Weddings
Bollywood is synonymous with the word “Indian.” We’re all obsessed with the Bollywood style, and many couples love to incorporate it into their weddings! Bachelorette parties with a Bollywood theme, where guests dress up as their favorite Bollywood character, are extremely popular right now. But the Bollywood theme isn’t just restricted to that!
Couples enjoy a classic Bollywood styled wedding, whether it’s the solemn Haldi ceremony or Udaipur as a destination wedding, as seen in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani‘. Or even the classic south Indian wedding aesthetic shown in ‘2 States.’ People also prefer chandelier rentals for a grand look, inspired by multiple Bollywood movies.
