As we are nearing Christmas Day, we can’t help but think about all those engagements. According to Wedding Wire, Christmas Day is the most popular day to get engaged beating out Valentine’s Day as it is the second most popular. You know what those engagements mean…weddings. When brides start calling your venue, you will want to be ready to help them make their day magically and the experience they crave. The most popular wedding trends for 2019 are looking to be similar to 2018, with a few extras.

THEMES

The top four wedding themes for 2019 are trending towards Boho, woodsy, modern and glamorous or a combination like Megan and Cole Forsberg’s wedding in the picture above. Their wedding had a Boho/woodsy vibe and it was absolutely stunning. McCourt’s Chiavari chair is perfect for a glamorous wedding.

Themes should be personal to the bride and groom creating a story unique to the couple. Themes also help keep a couple on track and they are especially helpful to vendors to produce a cohesive end result.

DÉCOR

Décor for 2019 will continue to trend towards natural florals and lots of greenery.  The trend for more greenery and less flowers has been slowly evolving for the past few years and this year will be more apparent than ever. Take a look at this beautiful table setting we found on TheGolddenGirl’s blog.

The décor gives your guests their first impression of the event and what to expect at the event. Whether your style is simple or a bit more elaborate, the décor will be a long-lasting memory for you and your guests.

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

As more and more millennials marry, capturing the moment in a variety of ways is what it is all about. Creating the experience and documenting it might just be one of the most important elements of the event. Long gone are the days of hiring a professional photographer and waiting weeks to get the proofs. These days many couples have multiple photographers, videographers capturing the entire day with movie-quality editing, photo booths will remain popular with guests offering a bit of fun and silliness. Drones are becoming more and more popular among couples. They offer a unique way to capture the entire wedding party in addition to the guests or a unique setting like the photo of the couple in the sailboat.

Finally, creating a unique wedding hashtag is still popular allowing couples to easily find candid shots by wedding guests.
