In Style: The Best of 2023 Wedding Trends
A new year means new wedding trends! As we approach the start of yet another year, we’re excited to see the fabulous ideas that will come to light in 2023. In previous years, there has been an uptick in small weddings and modern minimalist event design. But as we move forward following COVID-19, trends are evolving to focus more on the experience we share with loved ones and less on the details. Take a look at some of our favorite 2023 wedding trends, many of which we hope to help couples bring to life at Mill Pond Estate!
Full-Weekend Weddings
What’s better than a wedding day? A wedding weekend! Following the pandemic, there is more appreciation than ever for intimate gatherings. But for those who prefer a big shindig, a weekend-long wedding allows couples more one-on-one time with their guests. And there’s no better place for a weekend-long wedding than an estate venue. With sprawling grounds and plenty of spaces for everything from dinner to dancing, there is no limitation to the events and activities you can host. Start with a quaint outdoor rehearsal dinner followed by an elegant wedding and a brunch the morning after.
Experience-Focused Events
In addition to a preference for more intimate events, couples are gravitating toward experience-focused gatherings. These events encourage guests to get hands-on, and they are sure to leave a lasting impression. When choosing such details, consider what type of event you are hosting. Formal weddings should feature luxurious flourishes, like a champagne tower or cocktail wall. For a more casual celebration, a sleek white bounce house will bring out the joy in both kids and adults. Other options include a build-your-own-bouquet station, personalized drawings, and classic yard games.
2023 Wedding Colors
We certainly have our favorites when it comes to trending wedding colors. Neutral palettes are always a classic and won’t be going anywhere in the new year. They lend a timeless sophisticated look that just can’t be beat! Similarly, the love for pastels will trickle over into 2023. However, couples can also expect to see some fun, fresh color combinations popping up. New York Fashion Week shed some light on the brilliant combination of fuchsia and tangerine. Or for a slightly toned-down but equally stunning palette, highlight mustard and coral side by side.
Grand Florals
The most popular decor choice for weddings is fresh flowers. And while this isn’t changing, there will be a shift in the types of florals couples choose to feature on their big day. For starters, there will be fewer arrangements throughout the event space. However, those that exist will be bigger than ever! Expect breathtaking installations for ceremony backdrops and table centerpieces—big, billowing, and packed will brilliant colors. We also anticipate that the popularity of greenery will dwindle and will be replaced with actual blooms, like baby’s breath.
