Film Photography
Vintage film photography vibes are quickly gaining popularity & we don’t want this trend to end. The romantic nostalgia that a film photo captures is impossible to replicate with a digital camera. The texture & slight blur of a film camera is exactly what vintage boho brides are looking for!

Reception Mini Dress
A huge trend that started in ’22 was the bride’s extravagant reception wardrobe change, and we are so here for it! Having a second dress to change into for comfort, a new look to your photos, & simply just because it’s YOUR day makes it all worth it. Get down on the dancefloor by feeling less restricted, don’t have to worry about anything spilling on your wedding dress, & most of all feel comfortable! This trend can fit in any budget and any vintage, boho, classic, or traditional bride! Some online shops that you can shop for your mini dress include the following: Lulu’s, ASOS, & Revolve.

Mismatching Bridesmaid Dresses
Mixing different colors to your bridesmaid’s dresses have been trending for a while, but adding different patterns & textures as well is the new trend! Adding in long sleeve, strapless, cowl neck, florals, velvet, and/or tulle will truly make your bridesmaids feel gorgeous & really make your photos stand out.

Intimate/Micro-Weddings
One blessing that came out of 2020 was the trend of small intimate wedding (or micro-wedding), & thankfully it is still trending! Take away the stress of planning a big wedding & worrying about who to invite; instead, just invite your closest people & enjoy the intimate moments. A small intimate wedding makes for more of a relaxed environment & you can spend more on something special for you & your new hubby!

First Looks
The idea of the “first look” with the bride & groom has been around for a while, but recently it has become so much more intimate. Some pros to this trend would include the following: a beautiful quiet moment with your soon-to-be husband before the ceremony, portraits/bridal party/family photos can happen before the ceremony, get out all your nerves by being with your person, and capturing that emotional moment on camera. There are benefits to both first looks & waiting to see your spouse until you walk down the aisle, but we are loving this intimate trend!

Personal Vows
The trend of personal vows usually goes hand in hand with a “first look”. Personal vows are for couples that would much rather read their vows to each other in a private intimate setting rather than in front of all their guests. The thought of professing your love and emotions in front of all your family and friends can cause a lot of stress & anxiety. Ease that stressor by doing your vows in private. Now your vows can be written as freely & uncensored as possible!
We hope these trends got your wedding planning ideas flowing! Happy planning!
