Luxury Wedding Trends
"Lush, abundant, Australian-sourced floral. Fresh florals remain a big statement within the styling design coming in to 2020 but couples are asking more and more questions around this being a sustainable element of their wedding day. Something we love! This means foam-free, Australian sourced produce and Repurposing. The scale and design aspect of floral are being taken to new heights also with floral making up a larger percentage of their overall styling investment."

"Vineyards with panoramic views and soft pastels, greenery to accompany white and gold color schemes, and art deco vases and tablescapes. Many luxury weddings will be indoors, while still having a garden or greenery theme. Luxury is often paired with another theme as well, such as tropical to form tropical opulence."

The biggest themes in the luxury market are an emphasis on flowers and an emphasis on exquisit stationary. Couples are allocating more and more of their budgets to ensure that their flowers make a "wow" statement and that their stationary is personalized by a graphic artist to convey their own unique story. From handpainted calligraphy to artwork of couple's pets and other personalized elements, couples are making their wedding day print items (from save-the-dates to escort cards) a high priority.

We will see weekend-long celebrations, where guests will indulge in designed events for each day, and we aren't talking about planned group activities. We are talking about transforming a ballroom into the streets of India with a food truck, bistro lights, and tables. We are also seeing couples want to take care of theirguests 24/ 7 with hospitality suites that feature snacks, branded water, and beverages guests access anytime during the weekend.
