As summer approaches thick and fast, those of you marrying in the summer of 2024 will be well into your wedding planning by now. From eco-friendly decor to more intimate gatherings, this is our list of what we expect to be the top Summer 2024 wedding trends.
Sustainable Weddings
In 2024, sustainability will continue to be at the forefront of wedding planning. Couples are opting for eco-friendly practices, such as using locally sourced flowers, biodegradable confetti, and reducing single-use plastics. Sustainable wedding favors, such as potted plants or seed packets, are also gaining popularity as couples strive to minimize their environmental impact.
Intimate Celebrations
With a focus on quality over quantity, intimate weddings are on the rise in the summer of 2024. Couples are opting for smaller guest lists to create more meaningful connections with their loved ones. We are seeing a huge rise in couples having a small ceremony with their nearest band dearest followed by a larger party at a bigger venue. This is absolutely something we support at The West Mill!
Statement Florals
Bold and dramatic floral arrangements are taking center stage in summer 2024 weddings. Couples are incorporating oversized blooms, cascading greenery, and unique textures to create breathtaking floral installations. From ceremony arches to reception centerpieces, statement florals add a touch of romance and sophistication to any wedding.
Personalised Experiences
Couples are infusing their personalities into every aspect of their wedding day to create a truly unique experience for their guests. Personalised touches such as custom cocktails, monogrammed decor, and interactive entertainment are trending in summer 2024 weddings. Couples are also embracing cultural traditions and heritage to add depth and meaning to their celebrations.
Tech-Savvy Celebrations
In the digital age, technology plays a significant role in wedding planning and execution. From virtual guest books to live streaming ceremonies for loved ones who can’t attend in person, couples are leveraging technology to connect with their guests in new and innovative ways. Social media hashtags and wedding apps are also popular tools for sharing updates and engaging with guests before, during, and after the big day.
Summer 2024 weddings trends are all about embracing technology, sustainability, and personalisation. Couples are prioritising meaningful experiences over extravagance, creating intimate celebrations that reflect their unique love stories. We can’t wait for what the summer brings!
