7 of the Biggest Wedding Trends for 2021

2020 was a year no one expected, and it has certainly put many things into perspective. The pandemic had a huge impact on the wedding industry and because of that, some new wedding trends have been introduced for 2021. With that being said, let’s go ahead and look at the biggest wedding trends for 2021:

#1 – Micro Weddings

There is no need to have over 100 guests on your wedding day in 2021. Intimate weddings are a major thing for 2021 and there are many perks to them. Not only can you save the extra cost, but maybe even use that to make the wedding experience for your attending guests even better? 

#2 – Non-Traditional Wedding Parties

This is one of our favorite wedding trends for 2021! Couples have now started adding kids and pets to their wedding parties and it is honestly the cutest thing ever. Plus, having bro-maids and groom women sounds cool and gives the couple an opportunity to have all their best friends a part of their wedding party. 

#3 – Backyard Weddings

An at-home wedding sounds cozy and perfect, especially during a pandemic. Take up the opportunity to celebrate your big day in the comfort of your own home. Also, since intimate weddings are a thing, you don’t have to worry about your backyard being too small.
