Micro-Weddings, Minimalist Bouquets, And More: These Trends Are Set To Dominate The Wedding Industry This Year
As we dive further into 2024, we will start seeing more emerging wedding trends as people continue to tie the knot. Already, ‘wedding experts’ and professional planners have been keeping their eyes out for upcoming wedding trends and patterns, letting us know what to expect at weddings in 2024.
They range from micro-weddings to boat weddings, and all seem quite fabulous. Here are the biggest wedding trends expected to be used in 2024!
Uneven wedding parties
It used to be that couples and wedding planners would freak out when there wasn’t an even number of bridesmaids and groomsmen at the altar.
However, nowadays, people are choosing to let that tradition go, and if there are more bridesmaids than groomsmen or vice versa, it’s fine! At the end of the day, you should have the people who mean the most to you standing with you at the altar.
Minimalist bouquets
These days, people are spending less money and less time worrying about creating expensive and extravagant bouquets for their wedding day. Gone are the days of taking hours to plan a single bouquet. Instead, brides are opting for smaller, simpler floral arrangements, and some are even excluding their bouquets altogether.
More micro-weddings
Because we’re living in a time where planning and hosting a ‘big white wedding’ is incredibly expensive, more couples are opting for a micro-wedding.

This means couples are choosing to host a small ceremony and party with a very small, select group of close friends and family instead of inviting everyone they can think of to a big event.
Boat weddings
For those prone to seasickness, weddings on a boat may sound like a nightmare. However, couples who love the sea have found boat weddings to be fun and glamorous, and they’ve become a trend.
If you live in an area that’s popular for boating, you may eventually be invited to a boat or yacht wedding.
Smaller wedding parties
Not only are couples embracing odd-numbered wedding parties, but smaller ones as well. For instance, some brides have been choosing to have only their maid of honor at the altar with them, and grooms may only have a best man. Don’t be surprised if you go to a wedding this year and only notice two to three people on either side of the bride and groom.
Weekend weddings
Over the last few years, more and more couples have chosen to host weddings that are more like overnight vacations for themselves and their guests.
These weddings often take place over the course of a weekend and are booked at accommodations where everyone can spend the night and have a post-wedding party together the next day. While it may be a pricier wedding plan, it’ll guarantee many memories will be made.
There you have it, some of the predicted 2024 wedding trends. Whether you’ll be walking down the aisle soon or not, which one could you see yourself participating in?
