WEDDING TRENDS FOR 2022 Marius from Weddings by Marius gives his predictions for the coming year

A new year means a new perspective and lots to look forward to, especially if 2022 will finally be your wedding year. Although your Big Day may seem far away, it is a good idea start planning early and incorporating trends that the experts are currently predicting. Here’s some advice on what to look forward to, and start planning for, if you’re having a 2022 wedding.

NATURAL AND CONTEMPORARY RENTALS Rattan elements, macramé tassel chandeliers, wishbone chairs and plush seating in neutrals have created an earthy and comfortable visual for the home this year. Traditional interior design sets the trends, so this look will also become popular for weddings in 2022. Recently the wedding industry started using contemporary furniture, such as cloud couches, and other soothing touches and palettes that work extremely well in natural outdoor settings.

WEEKDAY WEDDINGS As there’s been a surge in demand for events, many couples have accepted that a Thursday (even a Wednesday) wedding is just as great as a Saturday one (and it could be cheaper, too). In fact, weekday weddings give couples an opportunity to extend the wedding experience for their loved ones. To be honest, weddings during the week and elopements are definitely the biggest shift I’ve seen in weddings, and I anticipate this will continue in the future.

GOLD TONES It’s time for rose gold to shift over – there’s a new metallic in town! Gold is one of the most traditional hues, but after years of standing on the periphery, this colour is making a come-back. Gold chairs, gold cutlery, gold under plates… gold blends with every style of wedding, whether you adore classic touches or a modern look.
