Professional photographers will never go out of style, but this year, invite your guests join in on the fun too by handing out Polaroid or disposable cameras to snap pics throughout the day. They’ll likely get some fun candids and POV shots your pro photog may miss. And, of course, the more memories the merrier!

’70s-Inspired Aesthetics

Champagne Towers

Bring on the Color

Bye, muted hues—2024 is all about vibrant color! Don’t be afraid to make your wedding really pop by embracing and incorporating bold colors in your decor and accessories. Vibrant corals, electric blues, and vivid yellows are especially going to be popular.

Who doesn’t love a little bite at the end of a night of dancing?! By the time your reception is almost over your guests are bound to be hungry again, so make sure you have a special midnight snack prepared. You could do something as simple as Chick-fil-A, or get Mulino Italian Kitchen to prepare you a little something. 😉

Ice Sculptures

And, no, we don’t mean an ice luge (!). This nostalgic trend is predicted to make a comeback in 2024. We’re talking frosty, personalized works of art in the shape of, say, your dog, a table to display dessert, and other fun abstract sculptures that will surely be a talking point at your wedding.

Over-the-Top Decor
