It’s time to party like its 2022. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Destination: Wedding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The days are longer, nights are sweeter, and love and celebration are in the air. After the long, cold winter of the pandemic wherein nay a large gathering was in sight, we\u2019ve reached the heady months of spring-into-summer (without mask mandates!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, wedding season is here and it\u2019s back in a big way. We are ready for it, hunny. Ready to travel, to get down, to mingle, to bask in the glow of (gasp!) social events<\/em>! Gimme a green wedding, a destination wedding, bar mitzvahs, anniversary parties, your quincea\u00f1earas, and all the baptisms. No matter the occasion it feels like the time to celebrate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you go all out, however, let\u2019s remember it\u2019s not 2019 anymore. We lost some years and, in all likelihood, our ability to spot trends and get \u201cwith it\u201d has atrophied. If you are planning a 2022 wedding, or, just plan to attend as many as parties possible and dance till dawn, get yourself familiar with what\u2019s in (and out) this wedding season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the Wedding\nTrends We\u2019ve Loved Before<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a moment to say a respectful farewell and pour some out for a few of the wedding trends that are no longer with us. Bygone trends include the home-crafted d\u00e9cor of twinkle lights, mason jars, chalkboards, and burlap. It seems we\u2019ve had our fill of these rustic touches and are going for a higher level of sophistication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat structures of any sort, be they cookie\ntowers, chocolate fountains, or doughnut walls are also ghosts of wedding trends past.\nCakes are back, in a variety of sizes, flavors, and designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank all things holy zoom weddings are on the\nouts as well, as are bridal parties with benches so deep they make NFL teams\nlook modest in size. A lot has changed in the past few years and we like where\nthings are headed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Trends to Watch: Sustainable\nWeddings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Sustainable weddings use rugged landscapes for atmosphere instead of formal decorations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your love for each other is so big that you want to share it with everyone, including the planet! Sustainable weddings, or green weddings<\/a>, are on point for 2022 wedding trends because let\u2019s face it, anything but eco-friendly is so<\/em> 2018. In fact, we’d wager to say green weddings are not simply a trend but an increasing expectation. Trashing the planet for a party is uncouth. Showing you are about the green details and wanting the children who will spring forth from your love to live in a healthy world is all the rage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace this wedding trend by forgoing a series of printed\ninvitations for digital, offering compost options for all party byproducts, and\nordering local flowers that are in season. It\u2019s about cutting down the overall\ncarbon footprint of your day and sharing your environmental stewardship with\nguests. Bonus: many of the things that make a wedding green also make it\neconomical. Score!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Trends to Watch: Breaking\nTradition <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The coolest weddings, and the most fun and memorable, are the weddings that truly showcased the couple\u2019s style, preferences and personality. One of the best wedding trends of 2022 is the comfort couples feel in breaking tradition and embracing personal touches. A few examples of what this means include forgoing the traditional dinner options like fish or chicken and having tacos, pizza, or sushi, and saying sayonara to traditional bridal white in favor of bright and bold colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Break tradition with low-key favorites on the menu.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the time of day to the type of\nentertainment, tradition is not the be-all it once was. If you are planning\nyour wedding this year, consider this the extra nudge you need to shirk\ntradition and showcase who you are as a couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Trends to Watch: Microweddings\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While your love is big, your wedding can be a\nsmall, intimate affair. Microweddings\nare just what they sound like: gatherings including anywhere from a handful to\na few dozen guests. Microweddings\nare budget-friendly and also give you a chance to really connect and visit with\nyour guests. They can give you all the feels and features of a larger wedding\njust on a more manageable scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Microweddings shrink the guest list but pack a punch in intimacy and atmosphere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve entertained the idea of an elopement\nbut don\u2019t want to miss out on sharing your big day with a few cherished friends\nand family members, a microwedding\nmay be right up your aisle\u2026er, alley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call it the renewed allure of travel or the\ndesire to escape surroundings that have become too familiar in the past few\nyears. Whatever the reason, destination\nweddings are all the rage in 2022. Beautiful places both far away and\noff the beaten path are big hits, allowing guests to experience a new place\nwhile celebrating your nuptials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Get whisked away, literally, at a destination wedding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic, Ensenada,\nMexico, and Xcaret, a subregion of Mexico\u2019s Yucatan Peninsula, are all great\nbets for a tropical destination\nwedding. If a destination wedding is your plan for 2022, be sure to\nincorporate some travel flexibility given the tumult of the past few years, and\nexpect more people to RSVP with an enthusiastic yes. We\u2019ve been waiting for\nthis, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Trends to Watch: High Sophistication <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dust off your tux. Sophistication and glamour also play a big role in 2022 wedding trends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, highly formal and\nsophisticated weddings are a 2022 wedding trend. Chalk it up to years of sweatpants and bad haircuts,\nwe\u2019re ready to get out and get glam! While incorporating many of the elements\nof the trends listed above, weddings featuring high sophistication may require\nblack tie attire from guests and an overall upscale vibe, featuring decadent\nfood, incredible entertainment, and an overall Gilded Age throwback feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, when it comes to your wedding, do what makes you happy. If you stick to your gut, you can\u2019t go wrong. And if that fails you, just remember, you are all good if you stay away from the 3 Cs: the chicken dance, a chocolate fountain, and clutter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one would think you were even a tad weird if you\u2019ve been accumulating wedding d\u00e9cor, inspiration, and centerpieces over the past few years while waiting for your big day. But do yourself a favor and do a round of hard edits. If you\u2019re having trouble making decisions, get yourself a storage unit<\/a> as you review. That means nothing has to go, it just has to go elsewhere for the time being as you get back to reconciling your wedding vision with our brave new 2022 world.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
