Wedding planners embracing sustainable practices not only contribute to a greener planet but also align with the values of conscious couples.

Intimate Micro-Weddings

With a focus on quality over quantity, wedding planners are curating experiences that prioritize close connections and meaningful moments. Intimate settings, personalized touches, and carefully curated guest lists define this trend.

Wedding planners are assisting couples in creating visually stunning and informative websites that enhance the overall wedding experience for both in-person and virtual attendees.

Edible Art Installations

Culinary creativity has reached new heights with edible art installations becoming a trend in 2023. Couples are opting for interactive and visually stunning food displays, such as dessert walls, edible flower arrangements, and chef-curated experiences. Wedding planners are collaborating with culinary experts to turn the dining experience into a work of art.
