WEDDING TRENDS OF THE SEASON: BEYOND BRIDAL GOWNS AND TUXEDOS

Wedding trends usually focus on the bride's or bridesmaid gowns, the groom's tuxedo, or general wedding attire. But today, more than outfits make a trendy wedding. Starting from the buffet to the decor, invites and more, every aspect of a wedding has its trends. The wedding industry caters to these trends by constantly innovating its services and packages.

The wedding industry in Australia is worth 3.7 billion AUD. The wedding industry includes wedding planners, decorators, florists, patisseries and catering services in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and other cities in Australia. Each service contributes to the wedding in its way, completing the enchanting experience for the couple and the guests. A wedding is a significant event in the couple's life, and they tend to pay close attention to every detail. The wedding industry in Australia provides flexible and feature-filled packages for spouses to be.

MAKING WEDDINGS MORE SPECIAL: UNIQUE WEDDING TRENDS

The wedding industry in Australia comprises companies that cater to each aspect of a wedding like, venue decor, catering, and have a range of unique products or services.

The Wedding Colours of The Season

Understated rustic tones, soft pastels, neutral tones and simple colours are trendy hues this season. These colours are plain but bold, drawing attention and setting the mood for the event. Rustic tones like rust red, denim blue, dark teal, and double-shaded fabrics make for a timeless and classic theme. Soft pastels and neutral tones exude a warm and elegant vibe complementing any bridal gown and tuxedo. The colours of a wedding refer to the decor items, the flowers, the seating, and even the food.

Simple and Small

The size of the wedding event has shrunk since the pandemic, as people have limited guests and venues. Small weddings provide ample opportunity for planners to extend their creativity with the event venue, decor, invites and more. These weddings usually include only close family and friends, and the relationship between the guests is less formal. Planners can think of introducing games for guests at these weddings, helping the couple make meaningful memories.

Almost Destination Weddings

Destination weddings were always a popular concept, but with the travel restrictions, they are not as feasible. But planners prove their versatility and offer packages that bring foreign destinations to Australia. French-themed weddings in flower gardens with cheese and wine bring an authentic France Town wedding vibe to the event.

Similarly, Caribbean themed weddings by the beach, Italian themed weddings in a farmhouse, and more. People can have the wedding of their dreams locally with this themed decor and even extend it to invitation designs and memento packages.

The Wedding Jewellery

The central part of a wedding is the ring ceremony, and traditionally, the wedding ring had a diamond with a precious metal band. But today, brides are opting for more unconventional designs and gems like emeralds, rubies, topaz, etc. The ring's design also evolved to more flashy statement-type rings that sit boldly on the finger. While some couples prefer the traditional diamond ring, they have the option of choosing more flashy designs.

The Food Truck

One of the primary sanitation concerns is food, and the traditional buffet does not meet the Australian safety standards for events. This news meant catering services might face a loss, but the industry in Sydney saw a 6% growth instead. Catering services in Sydney, Brisbane, NSW, etc., adapted to the situation and came up with food trucks. Food trucks prepare food after placing an order, and people can savour their meal piping hot, ensuring safety.

Another advantage of food trucks is the minimal food wastage, as food trucks only prepare food on request. Economically and ecologically, these are the ideal options for wedding catering.
