Bridgerton themed weddings
The hit period drama from Netflix, “Bridgerton,” has taken the world by storm with its beautiful sets, romantic storylines and stunning costumes. Couples have taken notice as they plan for their summer and fall weddings, asking planners and vendors to re-create the look and feel of an early 19th century British ball, and turning to designers for wedding dresses that Lady Whistledown would surely approve of.
TikToks and Reels of viral moments
This year, expect to see super-fast sneak peeks of the wedding day in the form of TikToks and Instagram reels. Photographers and videographers can bring assistants or “social shooters” to capture content to be edited and shared before the day is even over.
Custom pet attire
Pet-friendly dog weddings are gaining traction this year, especially at venues like Hidden River Events where the mountains and our beautiful grounds are a doggie paradise. Dressing them appropriately makes for fun photos and are a huge hit! This may be our favorite wedding trend.
Unusual wedding attire
Many brides around the country are completely ignoring traditional wedding standards and making their own rules. This can come in the form of a slight tint to the white wedding gown or, can be a bold vivid wedding gowns. Some brides are taking this to the next level. Opting for being fully outfitted in cosplay, leather, feathers, or outfits that you would normally only see at the Met Gala. There are no rules. Expression of individuality is the only rule.
