WEDDING TRENDS 2019
”Wedding trends in 2019 will bring metallics, colour and big florals into this year’s wedding style and design. From textured walls and place settings, to balloons and macarons, it will be a unique year filled with bright colours, bright lights and bright ideas” - ‘Bellagala’
FLOWERS
When it comes to flowers in bouquets, brides are choosing quality over quantity.
Big Bloom Booms
Pale flowers and the all greenery scenes of 2017, will make way for bright flowers. Flowers will be bigger and brighter in 2019 with Peonies, Dahlias, large open roses. Garlands are here to stay, but this year, they will have large, bright blooms, entwined with candles of all heights. Many weddings will also feature structural floral installations. Bridal bouquets in 2019 will have giant amazing blooms, such as garden roses, peonies, and protea.
Dahlias
Brides will be flocking toward dahlias in 2019, says Joan Wyndrum of Blooms by the Box. "They are the quintessential focal flower for any arrangement because of their wide color variety and intricate layers. Ranunculus will be the big pick for any bride desiring a romantic flower with a bit of whimsy."
“The big floral trend is taking over, and in 2019 we will be stepping under floral archways. Greenery, garlands, flowers and vines will adorn ceremony arches both indoors and out.” - Bellagala
Rust is the new hot metallic.
“Metallics have evolved from shiny silvers and golds to matte copper and brass, and now they’re progressing to rust. “I'm really excited to be using rust as a fall tone and metallic accent for a new look as one of the top 2019 wedding trends,” says Millikin. When using rust in your wedding palette, include a brighter colour to ensure that it doesn’t look too dark. Two color palettes Christina recommends that include rust are: rust with navy and grey and rust paired with cream and burgundy. Add a splash of coral flowers for the 2019 trendy look!
Mix & Match Place Settings
Not only is this a trend at receptions, but it's also gaining popularity for registries, say the experts at Canvas Home.
WEDDING CAKES
Opulent wedding cakes
We've seen a lot of amazing wedding cakes, but 2019 will welcome even more impressive creations. 2018's royal weddings are likely to inspire couples to make more opulent choices. Metallic touches, personalised monograms and regal piping will be on everyone's cake agenda. Even more exciting are the amazing array of textures we're expecting - rippled icing, decorative finishes and show-stopping sugar flowers will take guests' breath away. It's all about bespoke – let the your imagination soar and the magic begin.
EXPERIENCES
No longer are brides and grooms choosing suppliers to work on their weddings but they are now choosing to work with planners who create a journey and experience for all the guests to enjoy. This can be from scenting invitations to immersive decoration creating a wedding experience that stays with your guests for long after the wedding day itself.

More and more couples are turning food into art, according to WeddingWire.
Many weddings in 2019 will also have HARVEST TABLES.
Guests can look forward to snacking on different breads, meats, fruits, nuts, cheeses, chocolates, and more.
Edible wedding favours will be another huge trend. Ideas for food- and drink-related favors include artisan olive oils, custom hot sauces, and special spice blends, to name a few.
We have created two collages with the latest wedding trends to inspire our 2019 brides - one for spring and summer, and the other for autumn and winter.
