In the name of both health and love, more couples are choosing microweddings or outdoor elopements to celebrate their special day.

Prepare to see bolder celebrations with more personality in color schemes that range from light blues and lavenders to '90s-inspired rainbow accents that are sure to add a pop. Dramatic ceremony backdrops and floral chandeliers will make a statement, and there will be more curated spaces for Instagram-worthy photos. Nostalgic, personal touches such as nods to family history or throwback treats represent what's really important to the couple, while dessert is pared down with simple single-tier and mini cakes for each individual guest to enjoy. Due to the smaller party size, couples will be more mindful about spending, and that means putting their money where their mouth is. Couples are projected to be more selective about vendors, with Black-owned small businesses and sustainably conscious vendors at the top of mind, taking into consideration their community and their values.
With a new year comes new changes, and these 2021 wedding trends are enough to make couples and guests alike swoon. From intentional hiring to tasteful touches, marital celebrations will highlight love like never before. Read on to see the full list of trends along with knowledge, tips, and predictions from experts in the business. Who's ready to fall in love?
