The beauty of Atlanta and all weddings in 2024 is the opportunity to embrace your favorite elements of the day. We are seeing weddings that stick with the more traditional aspects and others that throw the “rule book” completely out of the window and do exactly as they please. We are excited that no matter what our clients decide to do, they are embracing their unique personalities and love and that is always worth celebrating. In addition, there are some fun trends starting in 2024 to keep your eyes on.
Bold Colors and Textures
One trend that we continue to love is the use of color. Not all parts of the country embrace the bright colors and textures like our Atlanta couples do and we are so grateful for that. Although soft subtle colors have their place, we know what color can do to any area. Couples are incorporating bold colors and textures into their wedding décor to make a statement. Rich jewel tones, metallic accents, and luxurious fabrics add depth and visual interest to Atlanta weddings, creating a vibrant and memorable atmosphere.
Intimate Weddings
Intimate weddings were the only possibility during the height of COVID-19, but it is a trend that has stayed with many. Our client’s are drawn to the feel of creating a smaller experience for a very important group of guests. We have seen this transform from only a wedding day celebration to multiple events over three or four days, as many clients are keeping large wedding budgets for smaller weddings. As individuals continue to focus on quality over quantity, this trend creates more meaningful experiences for all involved and allows clients to socialize with guests.
Urban Chic
We’re so lucky in Atlanta to have an incredible city. The vibrant cityscape provides an incredible backdrop for couple’s seeking a more modern and edgy theme to their day. We continue to see our clients choosing spaces that feature industrial style venues, exposed bricks and contemporary decor. There are many aspects of this look and style that fit so nicely with the architectural details of the space that it makes for a fun design as your wedding planner.
Sustainable Weddings
Weddings have a reputation for leaving a pretty hefty environmental footprint, but some clients are changing the way they plan their celebrations. Eco-consciousness is on the rise, leading to an increase in sustainable weddings in Atlanta. Couples may opt for eco-friendly venues, locally-sourced and organic cuisine, and sustainable décor options to minimize their environmental impact. We love sustainable décor. We are seeing more clients embrace natural inspired elements like flowers and potted plants that can be reused or repurposed after the even concludes.
When it comes to weddings, please don’t forget that trends come and go. The one item that remains consistent is the importance of authenticity and celebrating your love. It can be so easy to get swept up in all the pretty images and forget the meaningful elements and values that you share as a couple. Embrace trends that resonate with you, forget the ones that don’t and don’t be afraid to blaze your own trail. At the end of the day, it’s about celebrating and creating memories together.
