Bright & Bold: Don’t be Afraid of Colour in 2024
Big, bold colors are going to be all the rage in 2024. Vibrant shades of orange, pink, and green are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your wedding decor. Coloured table runners, napkins, and flowers are great ways to incorporate bright hues without them overpowering the day. Wedding cakes are an easy way to incorporate the trend also – surprise your guests with a brightly coloured cake or decorate with different coloured flowers for a fresh and modern look.
Wedding Dresses: Step Away From the White
Is it time to forget about the traditional white wedding dress? We don’t actually think so but coloured wedding dresses have become more and more popular over the last few years, and we’re here for it! Baby blue was a key colour for 2023 – check out our blog post on the key wedding dress trends for 2023 here – and it looks like 2024 will be the year of whatever colour you want. It’s not a trend for everyone but it is a great way to show off your unique style and personality.
Cold Fireworks: The Wow Without The Bang
Imagine creating a “wow” moment during your reception with fireworks that don’t require any heat or create any noise. That’s basically cold fireworks in a nutshell. Unlike traditional pyrotechnics, cold fireworks are safe to use indoors, and they don’t generate smoke or ash so are much viable to use – lots of venues can’t / won’t allow fireworks – and are much safer.
Signage & Backdrops: Create The Wow!
Wedding signage has developed so much in the last few years and the creative options available now are stunning! From classic foam board signs to 3D raised acrylic freestanding signs the choices are endless, and when paired with gorgeous floral arrangements the end result is show-stopping. As well as adding a real wow moment to your venue wedding signage is essential for helping to communicate with and navigate your guests.
