Predictions for 2020 Wedding Trends

Well hello 2020!

The fabulous BridalTweet.com is now in its tenth year and their latest wedding trend report for 2020 has arrived and I’m excited to share this with you.

Bridal Tweet ask their audience of over 22,000 wedding enthusiasts to share with them the top trends that they are seeing in all areas of the world of weddings that we inhabit!

Their research unsurprisingly told them that “it’s clear that couples want to differentiate themselves from the weddings of their peers”.

So what are the Wedding Trend predictions for this year?

Using Bridal Tweets own words and images from NKP here are the wedding predictions and wedding trends for 2020…

Floral Invitations.

For invitations, we are seeing floral borders, watercolor artwork, gold foil, with brush/hand script names.” – Cassie of Arabella Papers

Non-Traditional Seating Arrangements

No stiff, uncomfortable folding chairs at this wedding. High-backed, overstuffed couches and lounge chairs are in style here. These beautiful pieces create a feeling of style while encouraging guests to sit and be comfortable while waiting. You’ll feel like you’re in the Queen’s parlour room. There is plenty of legroom for guests to linger after the ceremony and share a toast with the bride and groom.”  K’Mich Weddings & Events

Sustainable Weddings

Bespoke sustainable weddings are all the rage! Couples are looking for weddings with more options so they can compare and be different from the rest.. They do not want to do their parents’ wedding. They wish to be a trend among friends!” – José Levy, CEO at Spain4Weddings

Sleeker Designs

“The brides for the coming season are trending away from the burlap and wood look to a sleeker design.  I am seeing more requests for white, gold or silver linens, simple yet elegant centerpieces and simple ceiling treatments of just bistro lighting and wall washes in soft white or amber.  The 2020 brides want that classic elegant look.” – Teri Anderson of The Noteworthy Event

Olive Branches & More Thoughtful Table Settings.

“More thought is put into table settings, type of flowers, etc.  One of my recent weddings had olive branches and leaves as a theme.  Each plate was surrounded by an olive branch, and the cake was surrounded by them as well.” – Leslie Pippin of Classic Cakes

Sensible Footwear

Signing Legal Papers In Front of Everyone

“In the old days couples would be married in the church or a pretty spot & then go into some little room & sign the legal documents. I learned in short order that signing in front of everyone has given the opportunity for many people to be witnesses of this part too!  My photographers love it- as it’s always beautiful & gives them great shots, help’s the coordinator’s as they are not having to round up anyone for the signing too!  Also, the couple walks down the aisle and they have completed this part & can move on to the party or further photos!” – Montana of Bird of Paradise Weddings
