Top 2020 Wedding Trends
Gone are the traditional wedding themes of churches and white dresses, we’re witnessing a wedding revolution where couples are opting for a more unique approach to choosing a wedding venue or dressing the bride. Here we take a sneaky look at how those traditional wedding themes have changed and what we can expect as we enter 2020 with the top UK wedding trends!
It all starts with individuality. Rather than conforming to traditional themes of church weddings, veils and the like, it’s all about removing yourself from the norm and embracing the new and undiscovered; transforming barns into boho havens or saying ‘I do’ in a binding ceremony by your favourite boat house. With this comes an air of uncertainty, but trust us, it’s new, it’s bold and it’s exciting!
Rather than being led by trends and traditions, couples are leaning more towards creating a particular ambience; more spiritual than religious - more avant-garde than conventional. Brides are teaming separates for the ultimate chic and sophisticated bridal outfit as opposed to the traditional dress. Even wedding bands are changing, with couples choosing both their engagement and wedding rings together, often opting for unique antique bands that stand out from the crowd.
Although the tradition of having bridesmaids certainly remains, brides are opting for more variety with how to dress the bridesmaids; opting to bring out the personality of their friends through colour or pattern schemes rather than pastel clones. Ultimately, the top wedding trends of 2020 focus on getting a good balance of styles, choosing a sprinkle of individuality with as little or as much of traditional themes incorporated into your bridesmaids as you like. Also, perhaps surprisingly, hairstyles are moving from overly done up-do’s to naturally flowing silky tresses, which is certainly proving popular since the Duchess of Sussex presented us with a simple bun on her wedding day.
With the emphasis currently on preventing climate change and protecting the environment, weddings are increasingly becoming all about sustainability. It’s about creating a beautiful experience for all, whilst reducing the environmental and ethical impact of the wedding. Consider alternatives to plastic, ways to reuse decorations and accessories as well as using recycled products such as paper for all your wedding stationery. And with so many options available, you are now spoilt for choice with greener options.
When it comes to wedding cakes, couples are opting for more elaborate works of art, with incredible pieces showcased to the world almost too good to eat! Flavours are becoming more bespoke, and unique to the individual as Harry and Megan illustrated at their wedding, with lemon and elderflower sponge as opposed to the traditional tiered fruitcake.
Now that weddings are coming away from traditional themes, the possibilities are literally endless, with the 2020 wedding trend focus being on individual style and preference. So, why not consider breaking away from the mould and consider how you could bring out your individuality and create that all important ambience for your 2020 wedding here at Wyresdale Park.
