2020 Wedding Styling

"Ice sculptures are making a comeback, while water features are on the rise. From the humble floating candle to magical fountains, the romance of fire and water plays out in weddings this year. Lakes, rivers, and incredible semi covered pools surrounded by a sea of candles are being used to stunning effect. One over arching design worked through the entire wedding is the new luxury styling for the brand new decade."

Pamella Dunn, Creative Director & CEO, Pamella Dunn Events

"2020 is going to be a big, bold, enticingly Instagrammable year and we see decor reflecting these trends. You can expect oversize decor and giant statement pieces, lots of large florals in brighter colors that channel a feeling of ethereal escapism, and a rich, jewel-toned color palette. Some exciting decor that fits with the theme of originality includes balloon walls, unique- shaped arches, and wall murals. These pieces serve as beautiful backdrops that reflect the personality of the couple getting married. You will see lots of outdoor and tented weddings, with a rise in indoor furniture being moved out doors."

"As 2019 draws to a close, we can't help but look ahead to what 2020 will bring. 2019 brought with it the knotted napkin, the unstructured wild and dried flowers, the colours of burnt orange and terracotta rust and the introduction of arched stationery. In 2020 we are predicting to see more unique elements included on the table. This means that table designs are not just going to include some vases with flowers, candles and menu, but textural elements, styling that tickles the senses and brings back memories. Tables will include items that tell the story of the couple. It could be coral, coconuts or crystals. Gone are the days where styling included merely some flowers and a table number. Get ready to see some unique items on the table in 2020 that reflect the unique story of the couple and tell their love story in a creative way."

- Creative application of raw materials such as Wire Mesh with Lightings to create architectural stage sets. These have been seen in middle eastern and Asian luxury wedding market. The love for something different and high end tech installation are hot favourites for the Asian market. - Colourful drapes installation to create art decor for grand entrance. We have personally used drapes to create a wow statement for hotel entrance, and couples are coming back for the same installation. - Customised large hanging chandeliers are an in trend now above dancefloor area, or main cockt ail area. - Printed panels using graphics are often applied for stage designs. The use of graphics and florals will always be a trending application for wedding decor.
