Here are the 10 biggest wedding trends for 2023

Wedding season is officially underway! Although it’s been a while since we’ve been here, the pandemic has still left its mark on planning this type of major event.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards less traditional ceremonies and thinking outside the box, whether in terms of clothing, the procession, the type of reception or its location.

Today’s weddings are therefore more personalized and are more focused on the pleasure of getting together and sharing a unique moment with loved ones.

Are you getting married in the near future or helping to organize this beautiful celebration for loved ones.

1.5 to 7 weekday menus

Since the pandemic, reception halls are booking up faster and faster, and it’s not uncommon to have to book your date up to two years in advance.

2. The welcome cocktail

If your ceremony is taking place at the same location as your reception, some couples host a welcome cocktail reception . This is a time when your guests can take a moment to chat with each other while sipping refreshments.

This kind of welcome can be very appreciated, especially if some of your guests have traveled a long way to get to your wedding!

3. Color

In 2023, we’ll be seeing more and more colorful weddings . We’re not talking about a simple touch of color on a more neutral palette, but rather a 100% vibrant and colorful palette . Mixing prints, textures, and fabrics, we’re having fun! From invitations to table runners, flowers, and guest dress code, we want a festive atmosphere.

Etsy even announced this trend as one of its biggest of the year, indicating that searches for very colorful wedding-related items have increased by 223% in the last few months!

Color  is a powerful way to add cheer and a real sense of celebration to a wedding, whether it’s intimate or more elaborate.

4. Intimate receptions

Smaller, more intimate wedding receptions , which were once mandatory, have now become a favorite for many.

Having fewer guests often means having more time to spend with each of them, not to mention a significant reduction in reception-related costs.

5. A minimalist procession

When it comes to choosing their bridesmaids and groomsmen, couples are increasingly opting for a less is more approach . In 2023, the trend is toward smaller wedding party sizes and fewer dress codes.

The larger the wedding party, the more management there will be. Opting for a smaller group will reduce your stress level and have more fun on the big day! Also, by giving your guests more freedom in their clothing, they will have a sense of individuality and comfort, since they will have chosen their own outfit.

That being said, you can always provide a color palette if you want to achieve a coordinated effect, so that your group photos look cohesive.

6. Classic wedding dresses

2023 is truly a return to classic dress styles and silhouettes . We’ll see a lot of traditional cuts, lace, long sleeves, satin, and long veils.

7. Little white dresses

Yes, we are talking about a wedding dress that would be the equivalent of the famous “little black dress”!

This  shorter , less traditional dress is suitable for many occasions, whether for a civil wedding, a more intimate, less formal one, or simply for a bride whose style is less conformist.

Another way to embrace this trend without giving up on the princess dress dream : change during the evening and wear this little white dress only for dancing.

8. Spare dresses

One of the hottest trends for brides is to have a second dress or ensemble for the reception.

It’s also an opportunity to have fun with your own clothing style and dare to go for something a little less classic, like a feathered dress or a pair of satin pants !

9. 70s inspiration

70s music, decor, colors, and party vibes are all the rage this year. To ensure guests have the most fun possible, we’re setting up disco balls and dancing to old (but still great) classics.Classic black and white photo booths are also popular and allow your guests to leave with lovely memories.
