Weddings are a time to celebrate love and commitment, and they can also reflect the culture of the time. And as 2023 approaches, the wedding world is experiencing innovative trends because more and more couples are looking to make their wedding unique, creative, and meaningful.

To give you a head start on planning, here are some of the biggest wedding trends we’ll see in 2023! From interactive entertainment to bridal fashion, these trends will be sure to make any wedding stand out from the rest.

Get ready to be inspired and take your wedding to the next level!

Trend 1: After parties

After-parties are becoming a popular choice among couples looking for new ways to make their wedding even more memorable and fun! We’ve seen couples invite their guests to a separate room at their venue or a separate location entirely like a bar or nightclub. The whole idea? To keep the celebration going all night long!

These after-parties also don’t have to involve a crazy party. So if you and your partner prefer a more chill and low-key vibe, you can host your after-party at an Airbnb where guests have the chance to mingle more. (Make sure to check the rules about parties before hosting an after-party at an Airbnb!)

Trend 2: Black and white color schemes

Many couples are now opting for black-and-white or moody color schemes. Black and white can create a classy, timeless, yet modern look. If you prefer a bit more creative freedom but still achieve a similar look, moody color schemes provide an opportunity to make your own artistic statement.

No matter what you go with, one thing is for certain: black and white or moody color schemes are a great way to show off your personality and style in a creative way, and also a way to give guests something to talk about!

Trend 3: Special effects and party enhancers

Special effects and party enhancers are becoming more and more popular at weddings. Whether you want to add some lighting effects, fog machines, live dancers, or even lasers, there are tons of ways to add special effects to your wedding. These special effects can add so much to your atmosphere, bringing your theme to life and making your wedding truly unique!

Some other party enhancers you can think about adding to your wedding that we’ve seen at weddings recently are cold spark fountains, CO2 cannons, confetti blasters, dancing robots (yes, that’s a thing!), and more.

These create an element of surprise and excitement, delighting your guests and making your wedding more interactive. This trend can be great if your wedding is more on the interactive side, you want a wow factor, or you just want to add something different to your big day!

Trend 4: Dress changes

Multiple dress changes have become popular among brides. While the tradition of wearing one white gown is still a very popular choice, more brides are also choosing to wear different dresses at various points in the wedding. And it’s up to you how many changes you want to do!

For example, some brides opt to have their main wedding dress for the ceremony, change into a party dress for the reception, and then one more dress for the exit.

But your dress isn’t the only thing you can change. We’ve also had many of our couples change into sneakers or comfortable shoes to change into for dancing at the reception!

Now you’re ready to plan your wedding for 2023!

These are just a few of the biggest wedding trends we’ll see in 2023! From interactive entertainment to bridal fashion, these trends will surely make your wedding stand out, allow you to get creative, and offer your guests a memorable experience.
