As a wedding videographer, I have had the privilege of capturing the magic of countless love stories over the years. Each wedding is unique, a beautiful reflection of the couple's personalities, preferences, and the prevailing trends of the time. As we get closer to 2024, I'm excited to share with you the newest wedding trends that I believe will shape the wedding landscape in the coming year. So, if you're a couple planning your big day or a fellow wedding professional looking to stay ahead of the curve, read on to discover what's in store for weddings in 2024.


Storytelling Cinematics: Capturing the Heart of the Day

One of the most exciting trends I'm witnessing is the heightened emphasis on storytelling in wedding cinematography. Couples are no longer content with simply recording the events of the day; they want their wedding video to tell a compelling narrative. Expect to see cinematic approaches that delve deep into the couple's journey, focusing on emotional moments, personal anecdotes, and the unique aspects of their love story. As a videographer, this trend allows me to create films that are not just visually stunning but also emotionally resonant.



Bright and colourful florals

Florals have the remarkable ability to infuse life and vibrancy into any event or setting. The combination of bold reds, sunny yellows, electric blues, and playful pinks can transform any space into a lively oasis of natural beauty. I'm noticing an emphasis on Australian natives like paper daises, but integrating a diverse range of colourful flowers, from striking sunflowers to delicate daisies, provides endless opportunities for creativity in floral arrangements.

Vintage glasswear

The resurgence of vintage tableware, particularly the elegant coupe champagne glasses, is a charming and timeless trend that's sweeping through the wedding world. These vintage pieces evoke a sense of nostalgia and romanticism, transporting guests to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. The coupe glasses, with their delicate, wide-bowled design, add a touch of old-world elegance to the wedding tablescape. As couples seek to infuse their celebrations with a sense of history and uniqueness, vintage tableware becomes a symbol of the past mingling seamlessly with the present. Each sip from these coupe glasses carries with it the essence of a time when celebrations were grand and cocktails were enjoyed with an air of grace and style. In a world of contemporary designs, the vintage tableware trend reminds us of the enduring beauty of classic pieces that continue to stand the test of time, making it a perfect choice for couples looking to create a wedding ambiance that is both nostalgic and enchanting.

Sustainable Celebrations

Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it's a way of life for many couples in 2024. Eco-conscious weddings are on the rise, with couples opting for sustainable decor, locally sourced cuisine, and zero-waste practices. Renting tablewear and decor from a company like Pop Up Wedding Co can be a great way to avoid single use waste and make your wedding day easier.

Smaller or Mixed Gender Wedding Party

Wedding trends have certainly evolved, reflecting the diverse and inclusive nature of modern love stories. One trend that's gaining prominence is the acceptance of smaller, odd-numbered, or mixed-gendered wedding parties. Couples today are breaking free from tradition and embracing the idea that it's not about having a perfectly symmetrical wedding party, but rather about including the people who hold a special place in their hearts. Whether it's an odd number of bridesmaids or a mix of bridesmaids and groomsmen, this trend encourages couples to prioritize personal connections over uniformity. It's a beautiful testament to the uniqueness of each relationship and the importance of celebrating love in all its forms. In a world where individuality and authenticity are celebrated, having an unconventional wedding party is not only acceptable but also a reflection of the couple's values and their desire to make their wedding truly their own.
