Wedding Trends: What’s In And What’s Out!
Hey there, it’s your wedding cheerleader, Jen Vazquez, the wedding photographer and marketing expert. I’m thrilled to dish out the details on the sizzling 2024 wedding trends. Our incredible 2024 couples can’t contain their excitement about these trends, and I’ve scoured Pinterest to bring you the freshest updates from the wedding world.
Keep in mind that your wedding should be an authentic reflection of your dreams, and these trends are here to inspire, not to dictate your choices.
TRENDS THAT ARE HERE TO STAY
1. Photo Moments
Those picture-perfect moments are still in the spotlight. Think candid snapshots like pouring champagne towers or posing with vintage cars. We’re talking about fun and memorable photo opportunities, including sparkler exits. Get ready for even more of these in 2024!
2. Intimate Gatherings
Small, intimate weddings and elopements are still all the rage. Couples are opting for smaller guest lists to create celebrations filled with meaningful interactions and stylish decor. It’s all about quality over quantity, and we absolutely adore it!
3. Outdoor Celebrations
The allure of outdoor weddings remains as strong as ever. Whether it’s a serene beach setting or a rustic barn nestled in nature, couples are captivated by the romance of outdoor venues.
4. Unplugged Ceremonies
More couples are choosing unplugged ceremonies, asking their guests to put away their devices. It ensures everyone is fully present, creating a deeper connection and a more intimate atmosphere.
5. Small or No Wedding Party
Say farewell to giant wedding parties. Couples are keeping it simple with a maid of honor and best man, or even no wedding party at all. The focus is on the couple and their love story.
6. Local + Sustainable Choices
Sustainability is in! Consider locally sourced florals and rented decor. Don’t buy things that’ll end up in the trash; think about renting or reusing. Eco-friendly weddings are a rising trend.
7. Disposable and Polaroid Cameras
Disposable cameras are making a comeback, offering a fun way to capture candid moments. Polaroid cameras are also popular, providing instant, in-the-moment photos. It’s all about creating memorable snapshots.
8. Cakes and Desserts
Desserts are taking center stage! Mini cupcakes, pies, candies, baked cookies, rolled ice cream, churros, and more are becoming wedding staples. Couples are getting creative with their dessert offerings.
NEW TRENDS TO WATCH OUT FOR in 2024
1. Seated Bridal Parties
Couples are shaking up tradition by having seated bridal parties. Bridesmaids and groomsmen get to sit comfortably after walking down the aisle, ensuring all eyes are on the couple.

Food takes the spotlight! Couples are focusing on unique, meaningful menus, including vegan options or dishes inspired by their travels. Custom bar menus and late-night snacks are also in the mix.
6. Themed Dress Codes
Themed dress codes are on the rise. While they might create some guest attire challenges, they make for gorgeous photos and enhance the overall aesthetic.
4. Mini Bouquets
Taking a cue from Sofia Richie’s wedding, dainty bridal bouquets are regaining their popularity, bringing a touch of delicate elegance to the wedding ensemble. Smaller bouquets are not just chic but also kind to your budget, making them a charming addition to your wedding party’s attire.
5. Smaller and Shorter Ceremonies
Modern couples are keeping their ceremonies short and sweet, with a focus on keeping guests engaged and happy. Some even opt for a smaller private ceremony before the main event.
7. Audio Guest Book
The audio guest book is a fun alternative for guests to leave special messages. Add some adorable decor to your welcome table for an extra touch.
8. Wedding Day Content Creators
Hired content creators are becoming a trend, offering real-time social media content so you can enjoy your special day without worrying about capturing it all yourself.
TRENDS WE’RE SAYING GOODBYE TO 2024
1. Uniform Bridesmaid Dresses
Matching bridesmaid dresses are giving way to individual styles that flatter personalities and body types. Let your bridesmaids shine in their own unique way.
2. Overly Staged Photos
Couples are moving away from overly staged photos, opting for candid moments that capture the genuine emotions of the day.
3. Wedding Hashtags
The era of wedding hashtags is fading out as couples explore creative ways to document their special day.
