Each of these trends excites us, most especially our engaged couples. We may expect the bride and groom to want grandiose themes and one-of-a-kind decor. 

It's a beautiful moment to exchange wedding vows! Experts estimate that approximately 2.5 million marriages will occur in 2022, the highest number since 1984. As a result, organizing a wedding has never been more challenging. Nevertheless, many engaged couples believe that now is the ideal time to tie the knot, particularly those who have chosen to postpone their wedding.

The 2022 Wedding Trends 

Big Parties

Yes! Large gatherings have returned! Due to health protocols, intimate, small, and micro weddings grew popular in 2021. Today, the traditional guest lists or large wedding celebration has made a comeback to accommodate the wedding guests in their hundreds. When couples plan their weddings, they want to share the occasion with as many people as possible, no matter where they are.  

In addition to having many attendees, large parties usually have a slew of exciting party components. For example, a tequila bar is one of the most popular elements at a big wedding party. Satellite bars are excited to see them again, and they have double the number of people than before. So get your most lavish wedding dream come true back again!

Long Wedding Weekends

Don’t let the wedding just be one day, let’s celebrate the whole weekend! They may now include a large welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and something active to do during the day. So why not add a few surprises and unexpected excitement to your wedding weekend? The goal is for guests to leave feeling so much joy, treasured, and have memories that will last a lifetime.

Extraordinary Entertainment

Live bands, games, live painters, caricature artists, and more are all back again! Entertainment has always been a significant component, but we're seeing a new generation of over-the-top musical aspects take the stage. It is essential to our couples that their wedding guests can enjoy themselves in a way that makes them feel engaged. So the pair may plan and think out-of-the-box entertainment from celebrity impersonators to surprise performances to personal game choices and a great DJ to host the special night. 

Formal Affairs

Black-tie weddings are making a comeback! It feels like a lifetime has passed since an intimate wedding with a more relaxed occurred because of the pandemic. Today, the formal theme has re-emerged with a bang! Many people are looking forward to wearing their formal tuxedos and having a wonderful time on a more formal occasion. They are looking forward to ending the evening with a formal yet intimate gathering.

Breaking Tradition

Our favorite trend for weddings in 2022 is a focus on uniqueness. Many brides break tradition and make their own rules at their weddings. You will notice couples start to do things for themselves and not everyone else. As a result, they are now bold, wiser, and unique in wedding planning. For example, wedding day traditions like the garter catch, the bouquet toss, and the formal reception introductions are becoming less common. Instead, couples emphasize making their visitors feel more welcome and comfortable. People will remember your day more warmly if you break with tradition and focus on the experience. 


The Bottom Line

The wedding industry has seen a comeback, the demand, popularity, and excitement for bigger weddings. But, the bottom line is that weddings never go out of season. So, whatever happens, weddings will establish new trends that will undoubtedly provide an unforgettable experience for the couple and their guests.
