Biggest 2023 Wedding and event trends we’ve been seeing

We’re halfway through the year and it’s time to officially say, below are some of the key trends to 2023 events and weddings.

TIME OF DAY:

Many venues are including “the day,” allowing for you to choose what time your wedding or event reception begins and ends (with a certain number of hours included). What does that mean? What used to equate to a higher night time price is now the same as daytime, which means you can have your evening event for the same pricing as in the daytime while still keeping the mindset of “luxury” in the evening. We love this trend! Without the restrictions of an 11am or 1pm daytime ceremony start time or a 4 or 5pm evening start time, you can have your big day at a time that works for YOU!

INSTALLATIONS:

We’ve been loving ceiling installations for the past year or so, but the styles are getting more creative (and the clients are allowing for more stylized designs!). Stay up to date with upcoming creative designs STC is setting the tone with - remember to follow on social! Tik Tok and Instagram @SmilingThroughChaos

LIGHTING:

Walking / dancing on lights, having them surround you while you enter the reception, lights are everywhere!

STYLE:

Bridal styles are working in extremes, either sheer and sexy or covered up and elegant with long veils.

CEREMONY AISLE:

This trend is continuing into 2024, and we are HERE for it. Whether adding florals in a pattern down the aisle or a unique material, creating a memorable aisle is what it’s all about. After all, isn’t that where the focus is when the bride (or groom) walks down?
