Wedding Themes And Styles
Bridgerton
Just in time for season two of the Netflix hit, Bridgerton-inspired weddings are set to be huge in 2022. The obsession with the Regency Era will find its way subtly into weddings, through literary-inspired touches and splashes of Regency Blue, a signature shade from the times. Expect to see a lot more pastel color palettes featuring soft blues, stationery details in the form of handwritten notes and literary quotes, floral arrangements of English country roses and trailing wisteria, and afternoon tea details with vintage china tablescapes.

Garden Weddings
Romantic, back-garden weddings and weddings at venues with enchanted gardens have become super popular over the last two years, as couples took advantage of the magic (and enhanced safety!) of gorgeous, greenery-filled outdoor spaces. While back-garden weddings involve a higher planning workload and limit you to the warmer seasons, they also provide an opportunity to host your wedding day in a very special place that serves as a completely unique venue for your guests, have greater control over the look and feel of the day.

People are having smaller, more detailed cakes, with separate ‘cutting cakes’ in the back for larger guest numbers.

This will take inspiration from the couple’s background, their journey together as a couple, their wedding destination, and some of their favorite things.
