1. Color of the year: Classic Blue
According to the international color institute Pantone, the color Classic Blue is a “timeless and enduring shade of blue, elegant in its simplicity.” Think of the color PANTONE 19-4052 as a beautiful blue sky at the end of the day. The color is darker than sky blue but softer than midnight blue—a color that gives you a relaxed and calm feeling. You can incorporate this classic color into your printed materials, accessories, jewelry, the groom's outfit and suite, your table decorations, wedding cake, and so on.
2. Wedding dresses: do something different in 2020!
This year, there are lots of new trends on the rise when it comes to wedding dresses! There's something for everyone: from floral prints to metallics, in 2020 you can go in any direction! During Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week, we couldn't help but notice the embellished dresses with pearls. Pearls are making a comeback in the most surprising ways. We also predict that bare backs and super-high slits will be popular this year. Or how about a big ball gown? In 2020, the motto is: more is more!
Would you like a statement hair accessory to go with your dress? Then go for a large veil. Would you prefer something a little more modest? Then you can choose an elegant hair comb or a barrette to hold your hairstyle together.
3. The revolution of the wedding suit
In 2020, grooms are choosing tailor-made suits in the most unusual colors. Black is making way for blue, in more shades than you could ever imagine. Navy blue, apple blue-green, or perhaps cobalt? These are colors that we are seeing more and more often in the groom's tailored suit.
He also combines his outfit with various accessories: a bow tie, a timeless watch, or funny socks.
4. Vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free, please
In 2020, ‘inclusivity’ at a wedding is a real must. Couples (and their wedding planners) think of every detail, including, of course, a customized menu. This way, guests with specific dietary needs can also enjoy your reception, dinner, or brunch. Whether you are vegetarian or vegan with a nut allergy: no problem, your wedding caterer has got you covered!
5. Go bold or go home
2020, in a nutshell? Be bold and go for it! Think: statement decorations such as funny quotes on your stationery (‘Sip Sip Hooray!’ or ‘Drunk in Love’) or metallic spray flowers.
Still no color palette in mind for your party? Here too, we're going bold! If you love color, 2020 will be your year. Warm tones in particular are coming to the fore this year. Think of the colors of a sunset combined with bohemian accents!
And the trend that will ensure you have a paperless wedding: acrylic decor. Transparent signs, menus, invitations... Everything you would normally put on paper can now be printed on transparent material!
6. Dried flowers & statement blooms
It's not just your colors that can be bold in 2020, but also your flowers. Go for different textures and shapes, choose bright colors and powerful scents! 2020 is the year in which flowers can make a statement.
Also totally in in 2020 are dried flowers. They fit right in with your vintage and bohemian wedding, but also have their place in a minimalist or even classic wedding. Maybe you could add them as an accent to your stationery?
7. A must in 2020: video!
Photos have always been a wonderful way to reminisce about your wedding. In 2020, we are increasingly supplementing this important souvenir with an aftermovie. This allows you to relive your most beautiful day even more vividly. Some professional videographers now also have a license to use drones. This allows you to capture magnificent images of your wedding venue and guests.
8. Li(gh)t!
Is there a better way to put your beautiful reception hall and styling in the spotlight? When the sun goes down, the lights come on and set the tone for the rest of the evening. Your options are endless: neon lights, tube lights, an installation of garlands with fairy lights... We promise you an unforgettable evening.
9. Micro weddings
Couples are increasingly choosing to live more sustainably. That's why 2020 is the year of micro weddings. You celebrate with relatively few guests—around 40 people or less. When you keep your guest list small, there is plenty of room to pamper each guest. You can dine even more extensively (how about a tasting menu?) and talk to each guest. Or personalize every detail to show how dear the attendees are to you.
10. Mirror, mirror...
A trend that originated in the fashion world, including on the catwalk of the Prada Resort Show in 2018. Mirrored structures and arches that give you a kind of surreal, magical feeling of endlessness. Last year, DJ Tiësto got married under beautiful mirrored arches in the desert. Stay invisible or create countless optical illusions!
