Join the movement toward eco-friendly weddings in Indianapolis. Use stationery that can be planted or composted, rent your linens, work with florists who use sustainable practices, and make plans with your caterer to cut down on food waste.

New apps are being created every minute. Increase your guest experience by giving them all the details of the day at their fingertips – including where they are sitting, what their meal is, and any necessary timeline moments. Immerse yourself in the integration of technology into wedding ceremonies and receptions.

Fashion trends are always evolving. Think bold patterns and colors – for suits and for wedding dresses.  Well see the unique styles, color choices, and accessories that align with the shifting trends of the day.

Celebrate the beauty of diverse cultural influences integrated into weddings. More than ever we are seeing couples of different backgrounds bring aspects of both cultures into their celebration. Work with your caterer on a blended menu. Think about using different color palettes in florals and decor from ceremony to reception to tell a story. Embrace the notion that your wedding is a blend of you and your fiance. 

Wedding Trend #8 – Artistic Wedding Invitations and Stationery

Stationery artists are pushing the boundaries of what we expect from wedding invitations. While traditional and formal wording still has its place, we are seeing a large shift to quirky or even vulgar language to reflect the couple and the type of celebration they intend on having. We also are seeing couples send invitation boxes filled with gifts and sensory experiences for their guests.

Wedding Trend #9 – Elevated Culinary Experiences

We are all so tired of the chicken and beef dishes at weddings. Challenge your beliefs of what wedding meals can be. Think about what foods you actually enjoy eating. Breakfast buffets, interactive pasta stations, and elegant multi course meals can wow your guests and provide that solid base for them to drink responsibly. 

Wedding Trend #10 – Signature Wedding Cocktails and Beverage Experiences

The signature cocktail is not leaving us anytime soon. Again, weddings are more and more about personalization. Espresso martini towers, his and hers cocktails, dog cocktails, and mocktails all add a personal touch and element of fun.
