Cakes Are Back

Moving away from donut walls and dessert tables, classic over the top cakes are coming back. We’re talking about multi-tiered cakes, smaller yet ornate cakes, naked cakes ( my personal favorite), and everything in between. Let them eat cake!

More Intimate yet strikingly beautiful weddings are going to be taking over 2022, with the lower price point and more attention to details it’s easy to see why more and more couples are opting for a smaller wedding.

Pop Of Color

Adding in a bright pop of color to the classic and traditional neutral palette is a fun way to enhance your wedding. For instance, placing a bright red into a palette of light blushes and nudes where the bold shade compliments the neutrals is something that we will be seeing a lot of this 2022.

Electronic Invitations

More and more couples are trading in hand held invitations for electronic invitations which was prompted by the pandemic. Electronic invitations were easier to update when weddings were postponed or canceled which was their initial appeal. However, going electronic offers various perks such as instant delivery, animation and slideshow options, countless themes, flexibility, and they are budget friendly. With so many benefits it’s easy to see the appeal!

Sustainability

Younger generations such as millennials and Gen-Z are culturally more mindful about sustainability and care about doing their part to help the planet. This means that they are taking a more sustainable approach when it comes to planning their weddings such as going for electronic invitations, using recycled dresses, locally sourced food, natural materials over plastic, all inclusive venues, reusable decor etc.
