It’s 2022 and the “Wedding Boom” is here. More couples will say “I do” this year than any year since 1984. The demand for attire, florals, and vendors alike is at an all time high. If you’re planning a wedding this year (or in 2023), you’ll want to create a vision for the day and start piecing it together with time to spare. Need a little inspiration? Here are a few wedding trends for 2022.
The Dress: A minimal crepe gown paired with an all white bouquet of peonies is not only chic but also timeless. Pair it with a flowy cape veil, a pearl topper or detached sleeves to add a romantic feel that is very on trend for 22. Perhaps your aesthetic calls for something a bit more involved. A floral dress is perfect for a warm weather wedding. Floral appliques and floral embroidery on an A line gown will create a whimsical feel fit for a fairy tale. Pair it with a floral lace trimmed chapel length veil and all eyes will be on you. Planning a late 2022 wedding? Plunging necklines or dramatic feathers will take your gown from day to night. If you’re really looking to make a statement, puff sleeves are making a comeback in a big way. A puff sleeve mini dress is a fun choice for your rehearsal, reception or even your destination wedding.
The Color: Deciding your color palette is a huge step in bringing the details of your day together. Having trouble selecting one? Look no further than Pantone’s color for 2022, Very Peri. Bridesmaid dresses, the groom’s tie, table linens, velvet ring box, and invitations can all be your “something blue” with 2022’s color of the year. If blue is not for you, green is on the scene. Sage with blush and gold accents will give your day an upscale feel. Emerald gems will make the perfect bridesmaids’ gift. Or perhaps you’d prefer no color at all. Earthy tones and neutrals are on trend for all things in 22. The wedding day is no exception. Keep it light and airy with tan and beige. Or make it dramatic with black or even a pop of popular rust. Nude florals and lush greenery are both timeless and trendy this year.
2021 may have had its ups and downs but it brought about a few wedding trends that are expected to stick around. Hanging floral installs and monogrammed champagne bottles will continue to elevate reception spaces. Live paintings will continue to be all the rage. Small or personal wedding cakes with delicate details will replace the once trendy donut wall. The anniversary reception or sequel wedding is having an extended moment into 22. Q: How many weddings do you need? A: As many as you want. With popular wedding dates being booked far in advance and travel bans lifting, we will also see a return to destination elopements and weddings this year.
