Wondering where to start with your wedding décor? We highly recommend looking into the latest trends, and we’ve rounded them up for you right here!
The lighting
Indoor and outdoor lighting can be critical in setting the tone and mood for your special day and this year, dreamy fairytale-style lighting is top of everyone’s list. Think exposed bulbs, festoon and string light installations, mix-andmatch vintage chandeliers and classic fairy lights – all guaranteed to create a magical vibe.
The colours
Muted and pastel-focused palettes are making way for bold, vibrant tones and we’re here for some big splashes of colour! Whilst Veri Peri, a gorgeous, rich shade of purple, is Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2022, the experts predict that pink-purple Orchid Bloom, vibrant Super Sonic blue, fresh Fair Green, playful Bubblegum pink, vivid Coral Rose and cool Cascade blue will all be bang on
trend this summer. Wondering how to pull it all together? How about a monochrome base with flashes of eccentric, clashing combinations? If going bold isn’t for you, don’t worry. Earthy, natural colours, like rust, are making waves at the moment, too – a result of our newfound appreciation of nature due to the pandemic.

The layouts
Gone are the days of choosing between round or long tables – it’s now all about the unconventional layouts. If you’ve got the space and your guest list allows, create a cool, contemporary feel with square table groupings, infinity shapes, U-, T- or X-shaped layouts! When it comes to tablescapes (the flowers, dishes and details that sit in front of your guests), they’re expected to be more curated than ever this year – how will you design yours?

The styling
With many couples still holding off their dream destination weddings, they’re making up for it by creating the vibe at home with clever and creative décor options. From rustic Tuscany-inspired outdoor ceremonies to Moroccan-styled lounges and glam Ibiza-esque receptions, the authentic yet immersive experience can be easily achieved with travel-inspired accessories, like menus, music, scents and flowers.
The theme
Newsflash: Bridgerton-inspired weddings are still big this season! The romantic Regencyera obsession continues with splashes of the signature shade of the times – Regency Blue – as well as handwritten notes, literary quotes, trailing wisteria and vintage china.

The details
This year artistic couples are choosing to add their personal touch to their big day with dainty, hand-painted details. From stationery to candles, ribbons and napkins, your guests will love this bespoke element. Bows are set to be big too, whether they’re on your chairs or adorning your cake. With some couples focused on giving their guests an unforgettable experience, scent is set to play a big part. From scented stationery to a different smell for each room in your venue and a new scent for each song the band plays, this is next level detail. One final tip – champagne towers are back, and we couldn’t be happier!
