Every year of weddings has its own set of trends that make it stand out. 2016 will be no different — millenials are tying the knot with more of their own unique flavor than ever before.

Here are 3 up-and-coming wedding trends that we can’t wait to capture in 2016.

#1 Shopping Local

Food & Florals are the big ones here. Instead of having flowers shipped from different corners of the world, couples in 2016 are projected to provide more locally-grown, in-season floral arrangements for their decor, accents, and bouquets.

Likewise for catering, more farm-to-table food options are expected to be served from local, sustainable growers. Not only does this give a very unique vibe to a wedding, but it puts market revenue into responsibly sourced food, which is a win-win for everyone!

#2 Wardrobe “WOW”s

Stylish groom’s tuxes are expected to be more of a focal point than usual in 2016. Brides, too, will be adding a little something extra to the traditional gown — whether it’s with a dress that can be worn 2 ways, or 2 different dresses for the ceremony and the reception. We say, kick the convention and make YOUR day stand out! Just be sure to book a Photography & Videography package that will do it justice for years to come.

3# Distinctive Music

We’ve seen this a little already in 2015 — complementing the DJ or Band with a musician soloist, for instance. But we will likely see even more in 2016 as couples book entire choirs, offbeat quartets, or even karaoke systems for their reception or after-party!

What other trends should we look out for in 2016 & beyond? Be sure to talk to your Wedding Specialist about YOUR distinct touches to your day, and we’ll help you find the right package so that you can look back and enjoy it for years and years!

Happy Planning!
