British Wedding Trend Predictions for 2023

As the year comes to a close, wedding planners are already looking ahead to the trends that will dominate British weddings in 2023. The biggest prediction is that more couples will opt for intimate weddings with close family and friends, rather than large gatherings. This is due to a combination of factors, including the rising cost of weddings and the desire to create a more personal experience.

Here are some other trends expected to dominate British weddings in 2023:

ECO-FRIENDLY WEDDINGS

Eco-friendly weddings are becoming increasingly popular as couples look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. One way to do this is by sourcing locally grown flowers and using seasonal blooms. This not only supports local farmers, but also results in fresher, more vibrant flowers.

Another trend gaining popularity is the use of potted plants and trees as decorations. Not only do these make beautiful centrepieces and backdrops, but they can be planted after the wedding and enjoyed for years to come.

Other ways you can make your wedding more eco-friendly include using recycled paper for save the date and wedding invitations, drying flower petals or cutting shapes from petals and leaves to create natural confetti, and buying pre-loved wedding outfits and decorations.  

OUTDOOR WEDDINGS

As the weather gets warmer, more and more couples are looking to take their weddings outdoors. Whether it’s a backyard ceremony or a destination wedding, there are plenty of ways to make your big day eco-friendly. Outdoor weddings are becoming increasingly popular, and it’s easy to see why. The natural beauty of the outdoors provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding party. Whether you’re looking for a rustic setting or a more glamorous one, there are plenty of ways to make your outdoor wedding unique. Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

1. Ditch the traditional guest book and have your guests sign a tree instead. This is a beautiful way to commemorate your day, and you can plant the tree in your yard as a reminder of your special day.

2. Use potted plants as decoration instead of cut flowers. You can either use real plants or artificial ones that can be reused for future events.

3. Send guests home with seed packets as favours. This way, they can plant their own gardens and think of you every time they see them bloom.

MULTIPLE WEDDING OUTFITS

Wedding dress trends are always changing, so it can be hard to keep up. One of the latest trends is wearing multiple wedding outfits. This can be a great way to show off your personal style and get more use out of your wedding clothes.

There are a few different ways you can go about this. One option is to wear a different outfit for each part of the wedding ceremony. For example, you could wear a traditional white gown for the ceremony and then change into a more fun and festive dress for the reception. Or, you could even rent a wedding dress for the ceremony and then wear something that you already own or borrow for the reception.

Another popular option is to wear one wedding dress for the ceremony and then change into another dress for the reception.

If you won’t have the opportunity to change your outfit, there are wedding dress options that you can wear in different ways. An example is a figure hugging dress with a detachable skirt overlay that transforms your look from wedding gown to cocktail dress in a matter of minutes.

Exciting times are ahead for those planning wedding nuptials in 2023! So, start planning now and get excited for an unforgettable day.
