Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, weddings look more different than they ever have before.
So far, 2022 is supposed to see 2.6 million weddings, according toThe Knot.
These are some of the trends you’re going to see everywhere atweddings in 2022.
Expect dried flowers to be everywhere, too.
Many of the colors brides are choosing to go with are soft greens and variations of reds.
Sustainability is another major 2022 wedding trend, which is why couples are choosing to go paper-free.
Budgeting is another reason favors for guests are fading out as well.
Overall, what couples are prioritizing spending money on is changing.
Also, traditions like wedding bouquets and garter tosses aren’t happening as much, either.
Instead, couples are choosing a more casual, intimate experience with their guests (viaMartha Stewart).
Not stopping the night for these activities lets things flow more organically, providing a better experience.
“Many venues and hotels are completely depleted of weekend dates for the upcoming year.”
Weekday weddings might help couples keep guest lists down another 2021 wedding trend that’s carrying over.
Not to mention, they’re also way more budget-friendly.
Waste is another major concern (viaInsider).
This means electronic wedding invitations, rented wedding dresses, fewer floral arrangements, and upcycled wedding details.
The best place to find these things, especially if it’s just for one night are thrift stores.
Patel adds that, to him, this is a more “elegant way of hosting”.
