Unique guest books
There’s totally nothing wrong with the traditional guest book, but couples are loving turning this moment into something unique and personal. Why not get your guests to sign something you could use as a decor piece in your home? A guitar, record or puzzle! Or how about getting audio recordings or video clips of their messages to you instead?

We are loving velvet blazers, coloured suits and patterned shirts, as well as metallic wedding dresses, bridal suits, separates and bespoke designs! Your wedding day attire is the perfect way to inject a little personality into the day.

Flowers flowers flowers
We’ve always adored flowers, but couples are taking things to the next level by placing flowers into the centre of their decor plans. Flowers have the ability to transform any space so more couples are finding ways to shift their budget around and prioritise their floral arrangements! We’re seeing lots more floral ceremony backdrops, flower walls, flower curtains, photobooth backdrops, and statement centrepieces.

If there’s one thing the Irish can do better than anybody else, it’s having a good party. And what’s the best way to keep everybody on the dance floor all night? Keeping them fed! Late night snacks help guests who are feeling a little peckish have something to nibble on so they can get back on the dance floor to carry on partying.

If you’re a fan of colour, you’re in for a treat! 2023 will see more bright, loud and bold wedding colour palettes. This is brilliant news for fans of the 2023 Pantone Colour of the Year: Viva Magenta!

Mismatched bridesmaids dresses
We have loved seeing more mismatched bridesmaids dresses over the last couple of years and this year, wedding parties are becoming even more relaxed about their dress code. Mismatched prints and colours, florals, polka dots and interesting fabrics. The best way to maintain a sense of cohesion is to keep everybody wearing dresses within the same colour family.

Donating to charity
In lieu of giving wedding favours to each guest, couples are choosing to donate to charity instead! Donating to charity isn’t a trend, but there has been an increase in couples giving money to charity instead of splashing out on wedding favours. It’s a wonderful way to shine a light on a cause that’s close to your heart.

Mixed gender wedding parties
If your bestie is a member of the opposite sex, there’s no reason they can’t be in your wedding party! Mixed gender wedding parties are a fabulous way to ditch tradition and include all your besties in your Big Day.
