Wedding planning can be a lot of fun, but it can also be overwhelming to decide between all of the different options. Let’s take a look at some of the wedding trends to watch for in Australia in 2024.
Wedding trends in 2024
Here are 7 wedding trends we know are going to be all the rage in 2024:
- Micro Weddings
- Outdoor Ceremonies
- Sustainable Weddings
- Food Trucks
- Drones
- Personalised Touches
- Vibrant Colours
1. Micro Weddings
More couples are opting for smaller, more intimate weddings. Micro weddings, with guest lists of 50 people or less offer a more personalised experience for both the couple and their guests. Quality over quantity, any day!
2. Outdoor Ceremonies
The days of couples strictly getting married inside a church are well and truly over! With the beautiful weather and natural landscapes, outdoor ceremonies are all the rage in Australia. From beach weddings to bush weddings, outdoor ceremonies allow couples to exchange their vows in a unique and picturesque setting.
3. Sustainable Weddings
With more couples becoming environmentally conscious, sustainable weddings are becoming a trend. From sourcing locally grown flowers to using reusable decorations, couples are finding ways to reduce their carbon footprint and make their special day more eco-friendly. Some fun ways to go green at your wedding include:
- Rose petals and other biodegradable confetti
- Non-toxic candles
- Charity donations instead of a gift registry
- Lab-grown diamonds
- Compostable plates, cups and cutlery
- Venues with built-in decor rather than spending lots on flowers
4. Food Trucks
Food trucks are a fun and unique way to serve food at a wedding. From wood-fired pizzas to gourmet burgers, food trucks offer a wide variety of options that are sure to please every palate. Yum!
5. Drones
Drones are amazing for capturing aerial footage of weddings. They offer a unique perspective and can capture stunning shots of the ceremony and reception.
6. Personalised Touches
Personalised touches are the best way to make your wedding day unforgettable for many years to come. From custom-made wedding favours, guestbooks and personalised wedding signage, and the best one in our opinion: your furry favourite right next to you when you say ‘I Do’!
7. Vibrant colours
We’ve noticed an explosion of colours at weddings, from the floral centrepieces to the bridesmaids’ dresses and table decorations. And we’re here for it – a pop of colour will add an extra layer of happiness to your big day.
