Swipe through to see what’s trending next:

🏛️ Unconventional venues

Couples are trading the standard ballroom for hidden gems and unexpected settings, from beach clubs and spas to cozy townhomes styled to feel like a beautiful home. Imagine saying “I do” on a beach with turquoise water as your backdrop. That’s about as unexpected (and unforgettable) as it gets!

✨ The wedding brand

Think custom crests, monograms, and a signature look that carries through the entire weekend.

🎞️ Analog registries

Old-school is cool again! Vintage-style record players, cocktail glasses, and throwback camcorders are making their way onto registries.

📸 Editorial cinematic photos

Film-inspired images with a timeless, emotional feel are taking over. Think less stiff poses, more your love story captured like a movie. 

🤍 Hush hush honeymoons

Private, intimate escapes are the new honeymoon goal. It’s all about quiet moments, romance, and the sweetest start to married life.

The best part? A destination wedding fits so many of these trends, from a one-of-a-kind setting to a romantic honeymoon right after “I do.” 🌴
