7 Wedding Trends We’re Seeing in 2024

As the wedding industry evolves, couples are increasingly looking for ways to make their special day uniquely theirs. In 2024, wedding trends are all about personalization and creating unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re planning your big day or simply dreaming about it, here’s a look at some of the top trends we are seeing.

Experience-Focus

Today’s weddings are all about creating memorable experiences for both the couple and their guests. Whether it’s through unique activities like photo booths or custom cocktail bars, a big focus is on crafting a day that’s unforgettable. Couples are choosing experiences that reflect their personalities and interests, ensuring that their wedding day is truly one-of-a-kind.

Alternative Entertainment

A DJ or band is just as important in celebrating your wedding day, but some couples are finding ways to elevate their day with experiential entertainment, including:

  • Live wedding painters

  • Caricaturists for guests portraits

  • Wedding table games

  • Performers

  • Photo booths

Interactive or Non-Traditional Dining

Speaking of experience—food is one of them. Couples are finding ways to get guests on their feet and mingling throughout the reception, whether that’s with a charcuterie table during cocktail hour, food stations, personalized dessert tables or late-night snacks.

Wardrobe Changes

There’s nothing better than saying yes to the dress—well, except for maybe saying yes to the dress twice. Reception dresses are a rising trend that offer comfort, versatility and a second chance to highlight your personal style on your wedding day.

Micro Weddings

Smaller, more intimate affairs aren’t necessarily new, but they are still on the rise, and more wedding venues, like Tamory Hall, are offering micro wedding packages. Whether brides and grooms are looking for more intimacy and meaningful connections with guests, a budget friendlier celebration, greater venue flexibility or less stress from planning a big wedding, we think micro weddings are a trend that’s here to stay.

Bold Color

Color is back! Couples are embracing bold colors, eclectic themes and vibrant aesthetics. Think jewel tones, neon accents and personalized decor that tells a story or fits a theme.

Unforgettable Exits

Entrances are often the highlight of any wedding day from down the aisle to the reception entrance. But the grand exit is making a comeback. From confetti and champagne toast send-offs to glow sticks and colorful ribbon streamers, a grand exit ends your reception on a high note and adds another element of personalization to your day. 

Weddings in 2024 are breaking free from tradition and embracing creativity, individuality, and sustainability. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, these trends offer inspiration for a wedding that’s truly reflective of who you are as a couple. As you plan your big day, remember that the most important trend is making your wedding your own—whatever that means to you.
