MARRIAGE: FOCUS ON THE 2021 TRENDS

Year after year, trends continue to govern fashions and set the tone. The year 2020 was a pivotal and challenging year for the wedding industry. Habits and traditions were put to the test to give rise to new practices. Zoom in on the wedding trends for 2021!

NATURE TAKES CENTER STAGE IN WEDDINGS

As the years pass, the trend grows: nature becomes increasingly prominent in the wedding universe. Through decoration, reception venues, or even the menu, Mother Nature will clearly be honored at weddings in 2021. Countryside themes will still be relevant: let yourself be carried away by fresh flower arches, a religious or secular ceremony in a wooded park, on a beach, or in a field of flowers, fruit or smoothie bars...

DECORATION TAKES TO NEW HEIGHTS

Since there are fewer guests, why not increase the decoration budget? In 2021, floral decoration soars to give pride of place to marquees, string lights (garden party style, perfect for vintage and countryside themes), flower ribbons, or pennant banners, etc. Lift your eyes and be amazed by your decoration on the big day to create a dreamy atmosphere for your guests!

DRIED FLOWERS, BOUQUET STARS

They are beautiful, colorful, and will be very present at weddings in 2021. Dried flowers give a romantic, vintage, and also countryside feel to your big day. There is something to please everyone: bridal bouquets and for bridesmaids, bracelets, boutonnieres, headbands, or barrettes. You will surely find what you are looking for!

Want to be right on trend? Swap your fresh flower bouquet for a flower loop! These pretty hoops adorned with dried flowers will bring you originality and modernity. In addition to being completely timeless, all dried flower creations can be kept as a souvenir or integrated into your home decor!

BRIDAL ATTIRE IN 2021: 200% COMFORT

Gone are the high heels and sometimes very uncomfortable dresses! In 2021, brides and grooms will arrive in comfortable but still more image-appropriate attire. Although traditions persist, more and more men dare to wear jeans and women prefer golden or silver-colored sneakers under their dresses.

Wedding dress designers endorse this trend: the collections reveal many very sleek models while remaining close to the body. The fluidity of the materials thus allows the beauty of the dress to be revealed in its simplicity. Short dress lovers, 2021 is your year too! Do not hesitate to specify your preferences to the shop assistants during fittings to find the rare gem.

SOFTNESS IN COLORS

While materials like wood, linen, and burlap remain timeless, soft and peaceful colors like old pink or blush, taupe, or beige will be back in style. Some punchier colors like mint green, pine green, or denim blue will come in to contrast and may attract future spouses looking for a theme with a bolder color.

GOODBYE PROTOCOLS IN 2021!

One of the key trends of 2021 is complete freedom in wedding traditions. Seating people for the meal? That's outdated, say hello to large tables bringing together all your guests who can sit wherever they like! Tired of the standard seated starter/main course/dessert? Plan a cocktail dinner in the form of a buffet with savory treats! Not keen on giving a single gift to your guests? Offer a wedding bag filled with various thoughtful items (menu, tissues, etc...). Guaranteed originality!

ENTHUSIASM FOR LIVE MUSIC Music has always had a central place in weddings: first dance, entertainment, relaxation, and evening. However, the trend of hiring a live music group to animate weddings has experienced a real boom in recent years. One can only hope this will continue in 2021! Indeed, selecting a music group on platforms like Linkaband is a guarantee of quality, good mood, and a 100% successful animation.
