Wedding Trends We Love
At Morgan & Co, we’ve seen many exciting wedding trends emerge this year that are both inspiring and unique. From creative twists on traditional ceremonies to modern celebrations of love, couples today are personalising their big day like never before. Here are a few wedding trends that we absolutely love —
Dress Changes — From Formal to Party
One of the most fun trends we’re seeing is the bride's mid-day dress change. Brides are now opting for two distinct looks—one for the ceremony and another for the reception. The ceremony often features a more traditional or formal gown, but as the celebration shifts from serious vows to joyous dancing, brides are changing into something more playful and comfortable. Think sleek cocktail dresses, or shorter, statement-making dresses perfect for dancing the night away. This dual-look approach allows brides to express multiple facets of their personality while also ensuring they feel both fabulous and free as the party unfolds.
Intimate Gatherings & Micro Weddings
The trend of intimate gatherings and micro weddings continues to gain popularity. Couples are embracing the beauty of smaller, more personal celebrations, often limited to their closest friends and family. These micro weddings focus on quality over quantity, allowing couples to create meaningful and memorable experiences. With fewer guests, there’s more room for thoughtful details—like personalised place settings, gourmet dining, and unique keepsakes. The smaller scale also means more time to truly connect with every guest, which is often one of the most cherished parts of the day.
Ceremony Friday, Party Saturday
Why limit the celebration to one day when you can spread it over two? Many couples are choosing to have their formal ceremony on Friday, followed by a relaxed reception or party on Saturday. This approach allows couples to enjoy a more intimate ceremony with family and then kick off the fun the next day with friends. The extra day creates space for relaxation, mingling, and extended celebrations without feeling rushed. It also gives everyone more time to savour the weekend, allowing for multiple outfit changes, diverse menus, and different venues for each part of the celebration.
On the Day Content Creators
Capturing the magic of a wedding day has always been essential, but the way it’s being done has taken a modern twist. Enter the "On the Day Content Creators." These professionals focus on real-time capturing and sharing of the day's most memorable moments—think behind-the-scenes snaps, candid videos, and Instagram Stories that guests can enjoy right away. It’s an exciting way for couples to capture the authentic energy of their wedding while giving guests something to engage with as the day unfolds. Content creators ensure that every laugh, tear, and dance move is documented for instant memories and future nostalgia.
Engagement Party Turns Surprise Wedding
One of the boldest trends we’re seeing is the engagement party turned surprise wedding. Couples are skipping the months of wedding planning stress by inviting guests to what seems like a regular engagement celebration, only to surprise everyone with an actual wedding. This trend is full of excitement and spontaneity— guests arrive thinking they’re celebrating the couple’s engagement, only to find out they’re attending the wedding! It’s the ultimate way to keep the celebration intimate and focused on the moment, while also delighting guests with an unforgettable surprise.
Embracing the Trends While Staying True to Your Story
At Morgan & Co, we love how these wedding trends give couples the opportunity to create celebrations that truly reflect their personalities and love stories. Whether you’re embracing the shift to a more intimate wedding, planning multiple outfits for different parts of the day, or surprising your guests with a wedding instead of an engagement party, the focus is on making your day uniquely yours.
As trends evolve, so does our commitment to crafting bespoke jewellery that captures your love’s essence. Whether you’re planning a micro wedding or an all-weekend event, your rings and jewellery will be a lasting symbol of your special day, reflecting the timeless beauty of your love.
We can't wait to see how our loved couples make these trends their own!
With love,
