Beautiful Outdoor Venues: Outdoor and destination weddings (like the Garden Route & Klein Karoo) have taken centre stage, offering picturesque settings that include beaches, forests, vineyards, and mountaintops. These locations provide couples with the opportunity to create unique and memorable experiences.
Eco-Conscious Celebrations: Many couples embrace eco-conscious weddings by incorporating sustainable practices. This includes using locally sourced and organic materials, minimising waste, and choosing eco-friendly decor to minimise their environmental impact.
Vibrant and Bold Colour Schemes: Vibrant and bold colour palettes are returning, with couples choosing richer tones and unexpected combinations to inject personality and excitement into their weddings.
Non-Traditional Attire: Brides and grooms are breaking away from traditional wedding attire. Non-white wedding dresses, colourful suits, and outfits that reflect individual style choices are becoming increasingly popular.
Technology Integration: Technology is being creatively integrated into weddings. This includes digital invitations, virtual guest books, live streaming for remote guests, and interactive photo booths to add a modern touch to the celebration.
Larger-Than-Life Decor Elements: Couples opt for larger-than-life decor elements like suspended floral installations, impressive backdrops, and unique seating arrangements to create a visually stunning impact.
Memorable Dining Experiences: Couples are placing a strong emphasis on memorable dining experiences, incorporating interactive food stations, food trucks, and creative cocktail bars to engage and entertain their guests.
The Return of the 60s: The swinging 60s are making a stylish comeback. Bold colours, mod styles, and unconventional fashion choices are all the rage. Think bouffant hairstyles, mini dresses, slim ties, vibrant hues, geometric patterns, and innovative flower arrangements.
