Have you chosen 2022 as the year for your wedding and want to know what’s trending next season? Check out the 2022 wedding trendsbelow for inspiration to make your big day unforgettable!
1| An Eco-Friendly Wedding in 2022
Concerns about ecology and environmental sustainability are growing today and are gradually extending to the world of weddings. The year 2022 will therefore mark the rise of eco-friendly weddings, driven by a desire to return to authenticity and nature.
On the plate, this will translate into local, seasonal, and/or organic ingredients, as well as plant-based tableware. Bohemian or rustic wedding themes will continue to be among the most popular, with a special emphasis on large floral arrangements, handmade decorations, or even a bridal bouquet made of dried flowers for a lasting keepsake.
2| An Outdoor Reception for Your 2022 Wedding
A major trend for weddings in 2022: receptions under the stars, with dinner served in a tent or in the garden of an estate. Authenticity and natural charm are the order of the day!
3| The sit-down meal has been replaced by a reception
When we think of wedding receptions, a sit-down dinner with its famous seating chart comes to mind. But the classic “appetizer, main course, dessert” format is gradually being replaced… In recent years, couples have been choosing to extend the reception by serving appetizers, “finger food,” and live cooking stations (such as ham carving and griddles), a format they find more convivial. A shorter sit-down dinner is often offered afterward to uphold tradition.
Another new trend for your 2022 wedding? The classic tiered wedding cake will no longer be the star of your wedding reception! Eager to treat their guests and offer a variety of flavors, couples are now choosing dessert buffets to complement the tiered wedding cake. A guaranteed hit!
4| Hair and Makeup Trends for Brides in 2022
In 2022, the half-up braided bun will remain the go-to bridal hairstyle. Rhinestone accessories paired with this hairstyle will become increasingly popular.
To complete the look, natural makeup will remain on trend in 2022, with a preference forthe “smoky nude” lookfor a natural-chic vibe. We’ll see the emergence of glitter and sequin details to add a unique touch to makeup.
Another new trend: two-piece wedding dresses and jumpsuits are set to make their debut. Comfortable and practical, they’ll allow the bride to feel at ease and mix and match outfits for the day’s various highlights.
5| 2022 Suit Trends for the Groom
The standout color for 2022 groom's suits will undoubtedly be deep blue, to which creativedetails or accentscan be added (cufflinks, a colored pocket square, a unique bow tie, etc.)
6| Trending Entertainment Ideas for Your Wedding in 2022
Since you’ve decided to host a longer cocktail reception with a buffet, are you worried your guests might get bored? To keep your guests engaged and entertained, activities during the reception are becoming increasingly popular, featuring retro or classic games (clowfish, giant games, arcade machines, and more). There’s something to delight guests of all ages!
For the reception/cocktail hour, the DJ will also hand over the stage to live bands in 2022. Depending on the style you prefer, the musicians will create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for your reception in a cozy setting. The DJ will then take over for the dance party to entertain your guests until the early hours of the morning!
7| Guest Gifts: Handcrafted Above All Else!
Artisanal, local, and handmade gifts will be the big trend for thanking your guests, in line with a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Why not give them natural candles, packets of seeds to plant, jars of jam, honey, or salted butter caramel…?
