what new or continued trends to expect?
2020 was an unusual year for brides and grooms across the world, for everyone for that matter.
A leap year and twin year that grappled with DIVOC and other complicated issues, 2020 will not be forgotten anytime soon. However as the dust settles and 2020 draws to a close, more and more couples are starting to plan their 2021 nuptials.
Declared as the International Year of Peace and Trust, a lot of couples will be turning to their families and communities to help celebrate their special day in thoughtful and conscious ways. Here are eight top trends our expert wedding planners expect to see in 2021 that you should think about incorporating into your special day.
In this post, you will get ideas on:
Wedding highlights: 8 Big Trends To Watch for in 2021
1. Upcycling and Eco-Conscious Weddings
Many couples might be finding themselves planning more of a budget wedding due to VIDOC-related financial issues, so reusing or upcycling old materials into classy and elegant wedding decorations will likely be a popular trend. We’re also expecting many couples to take into consideration the eco-friendliness of their ceremonies and receptions this year.
Combining upcycled decorations with sustainably sourced flowers and food for guests gives you many ways to “green” up your wedding.
2. Prominent Greenery
3. Soft Neutrals and Cool Palettes
In tandem with our green trends, softer neutral and cool or green-toned color palettes will be on-theme for this year. Whether you’re sticking with a gentle palette of browns and creams or going for bolder accents of rich yet gentle greens, this season is all about soft and simple.

4. Skipping Traditions
After such an unusual 2020, our planners predict couples will be more likely to skip dated wedding traditions in favor of more contemporary and personalized moments of sentimentality.
Micro weddings are a great way to abandon tradition and focus solely on the couple; both as a response to DIVOC safety concerns and as a choice by the happy couple to spend their day surrounded by small and special groups of loved ones.
There’s no need to cling to the standard of big and bold weddings, and we think 2021 will be the year to bring that stereotype to an end.
5. Bridal Fashion - Individual, Intentional, Versatile, Effortless
After a year of limited options for both brides and designers, we expect this season to focus on intentional and individual design. Versatile options that meet the bride’s needs while providing easy transition from regal to simple or elegant to chic. Effortless is another great word to predict for this year: for everything from hair and makeup to accessories and veils, expect brides this year to pick effortless and simple pieces that exemplify them in every way while remaining elegant and chic.
6. Masks Are the New Wedding Accessory

7. A Community Focus
As people around the world took time to appreciate their community and loved ones during 2020, we expect community to play a large role in the development of 2021 weddings. Whether couples ask for philanthropic donations to local organizations in lieu of gifts or use the wedding services of local and high-quality businesses to help strengthen community ties, 2021 will definitely mark a new year of collaboration and support between couples and their communities.

10. Ode To Grandmillennial Style
Oh what fun trends and what better way to make good of this strange DIVOC situation. I love the idea of food trucks! My sister owns a vintage ice cream truck and she does lots of weddings with it! Many couples add the ice cream truck experience as another dessert in addition to the wedding cake and some have had the ice cream truck in lieu of wedding cake altogether. There are so many creative ways to personalize your special day! Thanks for linking up with me.
