Props to the couples of 2021! 2021 was a remarkable comeback year for weddings when couples could finally celebrate again. We saw many changes at events in 2021 due to the pandemic. However, we also saw creative ways couples made their day unique. We continually are impressed by the creative wedding dining, displays, and dance moves that each wedding season brings!
Creative Comeback Wedding Season
Many couples had their second wedding in 2021 – a day they could celebrate their marriage with all their family and friends from near or far! Here are a few of our favorite ways couples creatively celebrated saying, “I Do,” or “Redo” after nearly a year of isolation. Pass the hand sanitizer, please!
Outdoor Ceremonies
B.C. times (before Covid), outdoor wedding ceremonies had already been on the rise. In fact, since 2020, 3 out of 4 wedding ceremonies are hosted outdoors. We think it really is the most beautiful option with nature as your backdrop! See how these couples decorated their outdoor weddings.
Whimsical, Yet Sophisticated Decor
Was it just us, or was pampas grass everywhere? A new boho bride has emerged, with a mix of both modern and whimsical styles, to create a soft, romantic wedding day. Neutral or muted colors mixed with bohemian elements (like pampas grass or macrame) brought simple sophistication into 2021 wedding designs. DIYs have been put aside to let the industry pros handle these looks!
Big Barn Weddings Back
Chic, rustic, and modern barn wedding venues are opening across the country. These spacious venues are anything but old and tired. A barn never looked so beautiful dressed up for a wedding, and we’re almost forgetting they were meant for anything but! Let your creative outlet run free when transforming a big barn into a festive space of celebration!
Creative Wedding Customization
There’s nothing more a millennial wants than to have things specifically tailored to them. A unique experience with all of their favorite things, (bonus if their name, face, or doggy’s face is on something), helps make up their perfect day. Top it off with a customized hashtag so all their friends can share, and see the instagrammable moments on social media! 2021 weddings were definitely not exempt from this creative customization. If anything, this year gave couples the reason to be extra for the best day ever. They deserved it!
