WEDDING TRENDS
dal Anna Campbell Bri
As the wedding world breathes a sigh of relief following a lengthy period of restrictions, the excitement behind crafting a beautifully memorable day has never been higher. Sarah Muscat Azzopardi discovers the top trends to look out for.
Two-piece wedding dresses
The sit-down reception
Bridal separates have been a thing for a while but never more so than now. One of their main selling points is the ability to transform a wedding outfit – going from a formal skirt for the ceremony to an elegant bridal trouser for the reception or shorter skirt to hit the dancefloor when it’s safe to do so.
While Maltese weddings are traditionally associated with standing events, pandemic restrictions have led many to opt for smaller, seated events to celebrate their big day – and have been pleasantly surprised. Once event restrictions ease, we’re not seeing this intimate trend go anywhere in a hurry.
Regency blue
Mulberry Market Designs
A Regency period fascination inspired by popular TV series Bridgerton has made its way into the world of weddings, most notably in the use of Regency Blue. This dreamy signature shade looks stunning alongside a cottagecore aesthetic or eclectic French countryside theme.

Delicate details
Incorporating personal loves and passions through delicate details has been rising in popularity, from embroidered messages on veils to personalised wax seals and handwritten notes to guests. Paying attention to delicate details also goes a long way toward making the wedding feel more luxurious and personal.
Alcohol-free drinks
While it may come as a surprise to those who associate weddings with an open bar, couples today are placing a lot more emphasis on alcohol-free drinks. Whether it’s to accommodate guests who are looking to lower their alcohol intake or to give their pregnant guests a nice option, alcohol-free alternatives are on the rise. Extra Special Touch
