Minimalism
In 2019, less is most definitely more, and brides-to-be are choosing minimal wedding dresses over more traditional numbers. While lacy details and flouncy frocks might certainly be attention grabbing, you’ll make a statement in a bigger way if you opt for smooth fabrics, timeless necklines and classic hems. The perfect minimalist dress will accentuate your best features and allow your personality to shine through.

Maximalism
While minimalism might be the name of the game when it comes to your ideal dress, other elements of the wedding celebration are proving more extravagant in 2019. From show stopping wedding cakes topped with freshly cut flowers and brightly coloured icing to precarious macaron towers, there’s no stopping creativity in the kitchen when it comes to your wedding menu.

Coral: the colour of the year
2019’s colour of the year, according to Pantone, is Living Coral – and this pink-orange blend has been incorporated into beautiful wedding colour palettes. An obvious place to start with the eye-catching hue is the flowers – place stunning bouquets of coral peonies, orchids or roses (for a classic touch) in the centre of each table, or scattered around the room. You could also bring coral shades into the makeup (think eyeshadows and lipsticks), the bridesmaids’ dresses, or the icing on the wedding cake.

Thinking about nature
Hosting an eco-conscious wedding has never been trendier as the focus is placed firmly on the people and planet around us. Source your wedding dress from a boutique with fair wages, eschew any use of plastic and opt for organic, local produce. And, not only is it more ethical, but it’s more delicious, too!
-
Grazing tables
As well as (or instead of) a set menu, treat your guests to an Instagram-worthy grazing platter of fine cheeses, cold cut meats and delicious snacks. The perfect thing about grazing plates and tables is that you can choose any foods you like for complete flexibility and your guests can come and go throughout the party. Not only that, but when they’re decorated with flowers, fruits and succulents, they look absolutely luscious in photos, too. When you’re designing your table, ensure there’s something to suit a range of dietary requirements (or ask your guests beforehand what they prefer) to be certain everyone will get something to eat!

Personalisation
Finally, in 2019, couples are opting for more of a personal touch, letting their love for one another shine through their stationery and decor. With that said, weddings are starting to have a handmade feel with calligraphy and hand lettering, intricate illustrations, and beautiful photos adorning the styling aesthetic. You can take the look in any direction you like – you have the freedom to express your personalities in the design.
