If you’re planning a 2023 wedding, you’re going to want to take notes. Trends are coming and going so quickly, it can feel hard to keep up. Of course, there is no need to follow trends, but we love keeping all our brides up to date with fresh wedding planning ideas. Below are 6 trending wedding themes for 2023!

Disco Balls

They made their appearance in the 50’s and stayed a while before they were labeled as cringey. Of course it’s time for the trend to recycle and brides have now found the perfect way to modernize the disco ball. We are seeing them incorporated into eclectic and boho themes and we are here for it.

After Party Mini Dress

Having more than one wedding day look has been popular in 2022 and is still going hot in 2023. We see brides now going for shorter hemlines for a more casual and intimate after party vibe.

Film Photography

There’s a magic to the art of film photography. And we believe it’s because it captures what feels like a more authentic and effortless vibe. The grain, light streaks, and texture will be a staple look for 2023.

Flash Photography and Black & White Edits

We have one word for this style of photography and it’s Timeless. Black and white photos always feel like a scene from a movie. And what was once seen as a big no-no to brides (and photographers), is now coming back for it’s spotlight - Flash adds another layer of main character energy to your gallery. Be sure to ask your photographer to capture these styles!

Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses

This is another current trend that is still going strong in 2023. The mismatched bridesmaid dress look definitely modernizes your bridal party. Stick to 2-3 monochromatic or complementary shades when mismatching. Shop bridesmaid dresses here.

Pearls

For the modern, classy girl, pearls are making a comeback. There are many ways to include them in your wedding day look. You can try a hairpiece like this one, pearl jewelry, a pearl veil, or a pearl motif wedding dress. A vintage style wedding dress will pair perfectly with pearls - think less is more.
