More Authentic Experiences & Intimate Weddings
Smaller guestlists are no longer just about budget, they’re about creating space for truly authentic connections. Couples are choosing to celebrate with only their closest people, cherished guests who are part of their story. This shift allows for more intimate, heartful moments, along with tailored and crafted touches that make the day feel unique.
Think curated guest experiences; interactive elements, local traditions, and surprise details that turn the wedding into an unforgettable memory rather than just an event.
Romantic, Natural Garden Vibes
Destination weddings have always embraced the outdoors, but we’re now seeing a stronger pull toward soulful garden celebrations. Imagine a ceremony under ancient trees, long tables draped in flowing fabrics, soft florals, and candlelight casting an elevated, romantic glow.
Every detail is bespoke; using seasonal, locally sourced flowers, mixing textures like wild vines and delicate blooms, and designing in a way that feels effortless, yet crafted with care.
Editorial Bridal Style
Bridal fashion is becoming more daring and curated. From detachable sleeves to floral appliqués and gowns in subtle hues of blush, blue, or grey, each look feels tailored to the bride’s personality.
Editorial styling adds drama; textured fabrics, sculptural silhouettes, bold capes, and unexpected accessories - an elevated, crafted look that feels as unwavering in its style as it is unforgettable.
Bold & Personalised Colour Palettes
Colour is stepping into the spotlight. Couples are embracing beyond-traditional palettes: jewel tones like emerald and teal, playful pastels paired with strong hues, or deep contrasts that feel soulful and dedicated to telling their love story.
Here, colour becomes crafted storytelling - reflecting the couple’s mood, season, and personality across florals, linens, stationery, and signage.
Stationery, Signage & Details as Design Statements
Paper goods and design details are no longer simply functional - they’re crafted as part of the celebration itself. Invitations feel bespoke, with embossing, custom maps, or watercolour designs that set the tone well before the day arrives.
On the day, signage, menus, and even favours are curated into seamless, elevated design moments, ensuring every guest feels part of something cherished.
Maximalism, Texture & Dramatic Styling
Minimalism is giving way to bold, elevated style. Think layered draping, oversized floral installations, and dramatic lighting designed to create unforgettable spaces.
Tablescapes have become artful expressions themselves - curated shapes, crafted tableware, and sculptural centrepieces that spark joyful reactions from guests.
Multi-Day & Experience-Focused Weddings
Couples are going beyond the single day, embracing bespoke multi-day celebrations; welcome dinners, after-party brunches, or immersive excursions that turn the wedding into a seamless, joyful journey.
Experiences are tailored to reflect local culture and surroundings; whether it’s food, music, artisan crafts, or wellness retreats. Imagine being entrusted with an entire weekend of memories: sipping something chilled on a vintage speedboat, surrounded by Caribbean-like waters and your closest friends, a truly unforgettable way to celebrate love.
