2024 is coming to a close, which means that it’s the perfect time to look back on the year’s wedding trends and choices. There are so many great trends to discuss and it was hard to narrow down all of the different wedding options!
At Spring Lake Events, we love watching trends and seeing the ways that our couples incorporate them into their wedding day. Let’s go over some of our favorite trends and discuss why they’re so amazing.
Candid Photos
In 2024, many couples and their photographers opted for more candid photos. Candid photos are a great way to capture the true spirit of your wedding day and be able to look back on your memories fondly.
If you’re opting for candid photos or more documentary style photography, make sure that you find a professional with experience in this area. Don’t be afraid to be very clear about what you want. You can even show them example inspiration photos to draw from to make sure that everyone’s on the same page and miscommunications aren’t happening.
Mini Reception Dresses
If you’re looking for a flirty and fun reception outfit, consider a mini reception dress. Mini dresses were super popular in 2024 and we’re obsessed with how cute they are! While a mini dress may not be a traditional reception outfit, it’s a great way to be comfortable and choose an option that makes sense for you and what you love.
Drones
Drone photography and videography was all the rage in 2024. The good news is that so many photographers are opting for this route, so if this is something you’re interested in, you shouldn’t have a hard time finding someone to help in your area.
If you are going to have drones on your wedding day, make sure that your photographer knows that’s what you’re looking for and is aware of any specifications that your venue has.
Unique Guest Books
This year, more people than ever chose a unique guest book. There are so many different options to consider when it comes to wedding guest books. From phone recordings to actual notes, consider thinking about alternative guest book options and thinking about if any of them could be right for your big day.
PRO TIP: Consider thinking about if there’s a way you can combine both your guest book and your wedding favors.
Incredible Exits
At Spring Lake Events, we absolutely love it when our couples are creative with their exits. From renting a fancy car to hiring a horse and carriage, there are so many ways that you can elevate your exit and make it one that your guests won’t be able to stop talking about.
While a fun exit may take up a little bit of your budget, it’s an option you won’t regret. Consider doing some research or asking your venue what other couples have done in the past.
