When we think of weddings, one of the first words that springs to mind is “tradition.” However, in the age of social media, more and more brides are scouring the internet for truly Instagram-worthy wedding ideas.
In 2019, the hottest wedding trends are all about putting your personal twist on the classics to create a memorable day that completely represents you and your partner as a couple.
Let’s take a look at our top five breakout wedding trends for 2019…
-
Eye-catching, Colorful Engagement rings
The wedding and engagement rings you and your fiancé select are a great opportunity to showcase your personal style. Given that you’ll (hopefully!) be wearing them for years to come, it’s no surprise that many couples play it safe with traditional stones, such as diamonds and sapphires. However, a more unusual but equally timeless option for fashion-forward couples is a rich-red ruby engagement ring. Rubies represent passion and love and fall into the same family of precious stones as their more traditional counterparts, making them a great, more exciting alternative to diamonds.

Wedding Branding
Your wedding is all about you. That’s why more and more couples are choosing to go with wedding branding for their big day. By consulting with a local artist or graphic designer, you can create a one-of-a-kind monogram or logo to use throughout your wedding. Your monogram is a great way to tie your theme together and keep things cohesive. It can appear on your invitations, place cards and even your wedding cake to add a touch of class to the affair.

More Greenery
Flowers play a big part in styling any wedding. When it comes to table-settings at the reception, traditional floral bouquets are set to lose favor in 2019. The latest stylish, eco-friendly trend is to use plants and herbs to decorate your tables. Paired with black and white ceramic or wood boxes, these minimalist botanical designs give a fresh feel to any venue that will match any color scheme.
-
Regal Wedding Cakes
With not one but two royal weddings capturing the world’s attention in 2018, it’s no surprise that opulent wedding cakes are en vogue. Forget about the individual cupcake trend of the previous years, 2019 is all about bringing back traditional tiered cakes with a twist. Perfect piping, sugar flowers and gold flakes are in. But to really wow your guests, your design should be bespoke. Incorporate your personalized monogram and choose accent colors that match your wedding theme.

Bridesmen and Groomsgirls
One of our favorite trends of 2019 has to be the pull away from traditional, gendered roles within the bridal party. Next year, we’ll definitely be seeing a continuation of best women, ring-bearing puppies and flower grandmothers taking part in the wedding procession. Your big day should involve your nearest and dearest, regardless of age and gender. This wholesome new trend wholeheartedly supports that.
