February 6, 2023 • 0 Comment

Have you heard of the latest 2023 wedding trends? If not, we’ve put together a list of top trends and what you can expect to see this year!

Maximalism
This is a BIG trend! Not only for weddings, but also for interior design and graphic design as well. Maximalism is a great way to have a dramatic impact while showcasing your personality by adding color and texture. Think grand floral installs, lighting, draping, luxurious tablescapes, and more!

Color (and lots of it)
Color is in full swing! Couples are incorporating color into their decor, florals, food, and attire. Neutrals and greenery are timeless, but this year is all about that pop. Keep an eye out for Pantone’s Color of the Year – Viva Magenta and shades of orange – specifically copper, terracotta, and burnt orange.

Wedding Weekends
Let the celebration last all weekend instead of just for a day. This is also a great option for couples who are booking a destination venue. Our property offers a 30-room inn, spa, pool (seasonal), and of course, our on-site restaurant Grove to host rehearsal dinners, weddings, and post wedding brunches.

Retro Photography
Film, high-contrast flash photography, and blurry photos are in – thank you Tik-Tok. Using film (especially black and white) can help create a vintage feel. Flash photography at night can produce high-contrast photos – making for some fun dancing candids.

Statement Aisles
Really wow your guests with a unique take on aisle design. One of our past couples opted to have their aisle filled with individual long stemmed roses.

Elevated Cocktail Experience
If signature drinks aren’t for you, consider having a specialty station – like a dedicated bourbon bar for the whiskey enthusiast, an amaro sampling, or a bubbly bar with all fixings.

Bridal Attire: Capes, Bows, & Wardrobe Changes
Capes and bows on are on rise for bridal attire. We’ve also been seeing a lot brides have a ceremony outfit and reception outfit or their dress can transform to a pant suit.

Meeting Guests’ Needs
Make sure your venue can accomodate your guests’ dietary restrictions, like offering more plant-based options or a fun mocktail for zero-proof guests.
