Top 5 Hottest Wedding Trends of 2020

  1. Nostalgic Aesthetic

The main age group getting married this decade are the 90s babies. so it's no surprise that nostalgic themes are making a comeback. From the bright, maximalist fashion trends of the 90s - such as iridescence and holographic designs, vivid makeup, and expression making jewelry - to romantic mixtapes and dance floor throwbacks, incorporating a touch of childhood is proving to be one of the hottest 2020 wedding trends.

 

  1. Green is the New Black

With climate change becoming such a hot topic, it's no surprise that eco-friendly practices have made their way into the wedding industry. By upcycling, recycling, and planning smart, you can reduce your carbon footprint while sharing vows with the love of your life. Some ideas for a green wedding include using natural, noninvasive seeds embedded in confetti, upcycling decorations, avoiding single use plastics, and having eco-friendly wedding favors.

 

  1. Vintage Flair

While the 90s are back in style, it doesn't stop there. A lot of couples are going even further back in time, including themes and decorations inspired by the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Dried flowers, muted hues, and velvet - nothing is off limits when you unleash your inner stereotypical grandma. Some popular themes and colors, include pistachio green, lavender, gingham, and florals.

 

  1. Intimate Microweddings

While the 2010s was the decade of social media, with every event and day to day moment being posted and shared online, 2020 brings a softer, more intimate touch to weddings. Smaller weddings, such as those under 40 people, are all the rage, and for good reason. Less people means a more intimate experience, a higher budget per guest, and an all around more intimate time with your closest friends and families. This will also help with hosting an eco-friendly wedding by reducing the amount of decorations and placemats as well as food used during your special day.

 

  1. Natural Flowers

As another aspect of the rising popularity of eco-friendly weddings in 2020, more people are saying no to the florist and using wildflowers or even growing their own for the wedding. This adds an intimate, local touch to your wedding that will be unique, making your dream day one of a kind. Another good idea that will incorporate the vintage flair is using dried flowers. Other couples, though, skip flowers all together and plan their wedding for a garden venue, such as the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina.
