With the 2023 wedding season not too far away, many couples are putting the final touches on wedding planning. The details that make up the last-minute decisions are often some of the things that are hardest to decide, and the trends of 2023 can help you not only make choices that you will be happy with but also give you the perfect touches.

Statement Venue Decorations

You have likely chosen your venue because you love the look or it has a great location, but you should still be able to customize your venue and make sure that it really fits your style. Two areas that couples have been focusing on are the aisle for the ceremony and the ceiling for the reception. Having a brightly colored aisle, a unique shape, or a personal touch makes the processional more intimate and provides some great photo moments. For the ceilings, couples are using drapery, greenery, and lighting to really bring the party feeling to the venue while making the venue much more unique than it may traditionally be.

Intimate Midday Ceremonies

While 2020 is thankfully over, many of the trends that came about by necessity because of restrictions are continuing to gain popularity. Many couples are paring down the guest list for the ceremony and keeping with much smaller numbers in order to really focus on each other and their wedding. At the same time, it is also becoming more fashionable to have the ceremony earlier in the day. This allows couples to have a break in between events to relax, spend time together, and really enjoy the day, before having a larger party in the evening with more friends.

Over the Top Cakes

Cutting the wedding cake is a favorite tradition, and the wedding cakes in 2023 are trending towards being a showstopper part of the decorations and programming. Multi-layered cakes with plenty of decorations and personalized toppers are coming back into style. Many couples are choosing to customize the wedding cake decorations to match the décor or their wedding colors. If you are worried about the cost of a large wedding cake, you can look into having one regular layer and the rest created out of Styrofoam or other materials.

While there are plenty of trends to choose from, the most important thing is to make sure that you and your partner really love everything that you have chosen for your wedding. Your wedding is about your love, so make sure that you keep this as the first priority.
