Wedding Trends We Love

With every season comes new trends. But trends are not a one-person-fits-all approach, there’s no end to how they can be personalized to your special day. Think about new ways to detail your wardrobe, where to add in floral elements or how to serve your cake. Look through these pages for inspiration.

A new way to use florals: in lieu of traditional bouquets, try a floral-filled handbag that’s not only chic but supremely versalite.

The Floral Handbag

Instead of traditional handheld arrangements, consider a flower-filled handbag that doubles as a stunning accessory. These chic, bloom-adorned clutches or woven handbags can be customized to match your color palette and wedding theme. Using vibrant seasonal flowers, they offer a fresh, playful take on the classic bouquet, ensuring you and your bridesmaids stand out in style. Practical and beautiful, a floral handbag is both a fashion statement and a memorable keepsake.

To-Go Wedding Cake Slices and Dessert Stations

Skip the actual table service, and pass slices to those guests who want them, and for the rest, add custom to-go boxes to a station for your guests to grab on their way out. This will ensure the dance floor stays full and the late-night revelers satisfy their midnight cravings.

The Wedding Sneaker

We love seeing fun wedding sneakers that are the perfect blend of comfort and personality, especially when they express a couple’s unique style. Whether adorned with glitter, embroidery or custom designs like the wedding date or “Just Married,” these sneakers offer a playful alternative to traditional formal footwear. They’re ideal for brides who want to dance the night away without aching feet or for grooms who want to add a touch of whimsy to their attire. From classic white kicks to colorful, themed designs that match the wedding palette, wedding sneakers let you prioritize both style and comfort while making a memorable statement.

Make a big statement by paying attention to the details. Own the day by incorporating your and your partner’s names, your wedding date and family heirlooms into your wardrobe.

The Little Details 

It’s all about personalizing your wedding! Embellish your wardrobe by adding in elements like your partner’s name, wedding date, favorite quote, song lyrics, custom boots and more. We love nothing more than to see the incorporation of a family heirloom in your wedding outfit. When you include something significant like a vintage watch or piece of jewelry, it’s an excellent way to honor loved ones on your big day.

Members of modern wedding parties love to express their personal styles, including the groom. Go bold and opt for a vintage brooch or studded lapel pin instead of a bloom.

The Styled Lapel

While we do love a lapel adorned with a beautiful bloom, it’s time to think outside the box and opt for another component that expresses your personality and style. If you’re a groom looking to forgo tradition, swap the classic floral for a lapel pin or a vintage brooch, like those pictured below, or go big with a floral pocket square. We LOVE a creative boutonniere, floral or knot that adds that finishing touch to the groom’s look.

Timeless Multi-Tier Wedding Cakes

Who doesn’t love to walk into a venue to see a beautiful multi-tiered cake? We do! A large, stylish wedding cake is a delicious masterpiece that ensures your celebration is remembered long after the last slice is gone. Think of it as a centerpiece that beautifully represents your journey as a couple, and in our opinion, the bigger the cake, the more room to express your story as well as to surprise and delight your guests.

The Story of a Day Well Celebrated

We love a beautiful flat lay. It’s a perfect way to tell your story with details like the invitation suite, ring boxes, perfume bottles and other accessories. Now, it’s time to complement those traditional photos with a new, unexpected must-take photo from the end of your wedding-day timeline: the late-night snap. The half-eaten cake, scattered crumbs and even a lipstick-stained wineglass all help to tell the story of your celebration and add depth and personality, transforming your wedding photos into a vivid memory of not just the formalities, but the lived-in moments of your day. It’s a totally unique way to capture a snapshot of your party’s vibe.

Here’s a unique takeaway from the wedding reception: Personalize the occasion with a commemorative bottle or mug.

Bourbon + Bubbles

There’s nothing like celebrating with your favorite spirit! We love when couples include bottles that are meaningful to them to mark the occasion, toast and celebrate and talk about a fun gift for your attendants! Speaking of bourbon, there’s the myth of “burying the bottle.” There are couples that swear by the Southern tradition to ensure a beautiful sunny wedding day. The couple must visit their venue exactly a month before the wedding date and bury a full bottle of bourbon upside down. Yes, it must be full, and it must be upside down. The size or origin of the bourbon doesn’t seem to matter, but if you feel Mother Nature might be a bourbon lover, certainly opt for the next size up! When your wedding day rolls around, you’re supposed to dig up your bottle after your ceremony and share a drink with your wedding party.
