We are sure that every couple who has to postpone their wedding in the year 2020 and 2021 are really looking forward to getting married in 2022. After all, everyone is hoping to get rid of this pandemic as soon as possible so as to get back to lavish weddings set up, enjoying large gatherings, and so much more. But until then, here are the Wedding Trends to Expect in 2022.

People have so many plans for their weddings because this is the most special day in their life where they will be tying the knot with their significant others. And they need all their family and friends with them to witness this beautiful day. Therefore, for all those soon-to-be wedded couples we have listed some biggest weddings trends that you can expect in 2022. Let’s have a look at those trends:

Micro-Weddings

In the past two years, we have seen how fatal the coronavirus pandemic can be. So, keeping in mind the effects of the virus we can expect people to stick with organizing small-scale or micro-weddings in the year 2022. There’s no doubt that COVID-19 will be on the minds of couples and guests as everyone wants to remain safe and sound while celebrating.

Outdoor Weddings Reign Supreme in 2022

Government-inforced social gathering restrictions really made an impact on weddings and forced couples to get creative. If we know one thing it’s that you can’t cancel love, and you can’t stop the “I Do’s.” So, when the government said you can’t gather indoors, couples just moved their weddings outside. And we love it!

We definitely saw an increase in outdoor wedding celebrations in 2021 and we can expect this trend to continue even in 2022. Everything from adventurous elopements to backyard weddings. Mother Nature was truly enjoying being the backdrop for many weddings. 

In 2022, couples will still prefer a wedding surrounded by nature. beautiful scenery and fresh air. Seems like we have discovered this new connection with nature during the time of the pandemic and it’s creating some pretty unforgettable events. 

If you haven’t considered an outdoor wedding for your 2022 “I Do’s” now’s a great time to check out some 2022 wedding venues. They’ll blow your mind.

2022 Wedding Invitations Go Digital

Technology has made it possible to invite guests by sending the invitations digitally. And we are sure people will make use of this way of inviting their guests to the wedding. It will save lots of time and money for people who spend thousands of money to print cards and then distribute them among relatives and friends. This also will reduce the wastage of paper which is an important step towards protecting our environment.  

Virtual Weddings

We can expect the trend of virtual weddings even in the year 2022. People who are more cautious about the safety of their loved ones will prefer virtual weddings over real celebrations. The main thing is that no matter whether the wedding is virtual or real, at least they can witness the union of your love.

Simple Is The Key

The year 2022 will witness simple weddings because the pandemic has made people realized that there is nothing more beautiful than simplicity. Keeping it simple doesn’t mean there won’t be any fun. In fact, you or your wedding planner can do a lot of things that will ensure your wedding to be the best day of your life.

DIY Décor

DIY décor started coming into the trend in the last months of 2020 as people were left with no other options but to plan and organize their own weddings. We believe that DIY wedding decor gives a more personal and charismatic touch to the wedding and we can expect this trend in the coming years as well. So, people get ready with your DIY toolkit.

Small Guest List:

The virus doesn’t seem to be leaving our planet anytime soon. So, it is expected for people to stick to a small guest list by inviting only close family members and friends. In this way, people are also protected from getting infected with the virus.

White Smiles

There is no doubt that couples want to look their absolute best on their special day. And one of the biggest trends in 2022 is going to be pearly white teeth. 

With the arrival of DIY whitening kits, having a sparkling white smile is more affordable than ever. Couples are taking their smiles to the next level with whitening trays for their teeth in preparation for all the photos that will be taken.

These are some of the trends that you will get to see in the coming year. However, if you are confused as to how to go about planning an entire wedding by yourself, then you can hire a wedding planner online. One thing that matters the most is that whether it is a lavish wedding or an intimate one, you are with your loved ones safe and sound. The pandemic has taught us the value of our lives. And currently, there is nothing more we want than for our family to be healthy.
