2023 IN / OUT

2023 is here and many are considering what will be the trends for the upcoming year because let’s face it, if there is one thing that changes rapidly it is trends and what is popular in the Wedding and Events Industry.

The Pantone colour of the year is Viva Magenta. I’ll be honest, I’ve never known how it works with the Pantone colour of the year, I’m not sure if people actually use this for reference. However, if it does in any way carry influence then I’m here for it, for this year because as I shared in the previous blog post, I really do wish that more people would opt for bold colours for their flowers and styling choices.

So that will certainly be on our list of what is IN for the upcoming year. More colour please and thank you.

Have a look and see below for what else we would like to see a lot more of in 2023:

IN

Intimate Weddings and Celebrations with a focus on styling detail

Colourful florals

Printed Dance Floors

Coloured Linen

Ceiling Installations

Banquet Style Table Layouts

Bold patterns

Access to the venue the day prior to the event for substantial set up time

Minimum £10k budgets for flowers

In the spirit of keeping it real, I’m going to share what we should all not be doing any longer…can we all say Amen!

OUT

Chair covers of any style

Keeping Traditional African Weddings Basic

Monogram Dance Floors - (The Names in Italics looks far more classy)

Blush and Ivory tones for Wedding Flowers and Décor (I’m over it)

Ostentatious Event Styling. Understated elegance always wins.

Guest lists of more than 250

Champagne taste and Coca Cola Pocket requests

Respectfully…I said what I said
