2022 needs to be a year full of joy for all, after what we have been living in the past two years, that is why we need to start planning beautiful and fabulous events again. Our work and research of the latest wedding trends never stops and we want to share with you the latest wedding color palette trends.
Monochromatic weddings: just go for one color and use it for every décor element. This is certainly an unexpected and original choice for a wedding event. You can also play with different tones of the same colors. If you want your wedding to be elegant use a soft tone such as pastel blue, a blushing rose or sand color, sage green, light mauve among others. These are colors associated with the ideas of tranquility, relaxation, optimism and hope.
Rust and terracotta tones: they are warm colors, very original for wedding celebration, especially for rustic wedding in beautiful haciendas or country villas. Dark orange and terracotta tones are widely used also for boho weddings in association with white tones.
Greenery tones: green tones are always a good idea for weddings in every season of the year. You can include them in flower arrangements but also as table setting elements or other decorations. You can associate the green tones, such as sage green, emerald green, sea green with other wonderful colors such as light rose, light blue, gold, mauve, blue navy, dusty blue as well. The combination of colors will be amazing!
Neutral colors: if your goal is to have an elegant wedding celebration just go for neutral colors and you will never be wrong. For instance, you can use a champagne color, a blushing rose, ivory a neutral green, sea glass, all tender and relaxing colors for your event. These colors are a perfect match with greenery decoration, the final result will be very elegant.
Gold: if you are looking for a glamorous wedding gold is always an option. We know there will always be couples looking for glamour and posh decorations, so we definitely need to consider it as a must have in this trends list. This year we will see a lot of combinations of gold and neutral colors, such as light grey, ivory and classic white.
Color palettes are a very important choice to make during your wedding planning process, our suggestion is to choose a specific theme and build your mood board around it and the colors will come out by themselves.
2021 is almost over but we want to make a list of the best wedding cake trends that bride and groom have been following this year.
Theuse of isomalt in wedding cake as topper or at the side of the cake. Isomalt is a sugar substitute, often used in the pastry industry to creat translucent and magnificent sugar scultures. The effect is extremely dramatic and cakes will look amazing!
Mixed wedding cakes: we have seen several mixed sweet wedding cake this year. The most used sweets are macarrons, cookies, candies, doughnuts and cinnamon rolls. They are quite common
The use of edible flowers: the use of flowers in cuisine is quite common and this year we could experience the use of real blooms in wedding cakes. So let’s put asidethe traditional flowers made of chocolate, fondant or sugar, and let’s go for edible flowers.
Brush Strokes cakes:They are brush strokes made of chocolate and edible colours, refrigerated and used to decorate the cake. The effect of this decoration is awesome!
Single-serving wedding cake: This has been a very good option during the COVID-19 pandemic, in line with safety restrictions, since each guest will have his mini wedding cake at his place.
One-tier wedding cake:Due to COVID-19 restrictions people sitched from big wedding with more than 100 uests to small weddings with 20-30 guests. So bride and groom often opt for small 1-tier cake.
Skinner multi-tier cakes: This is connected with the need to have smaller cake without giving up to the classic multi-tier cakes. The advantage is that they are extremely elegant and sofisticated.
So the trend for 2021 wedding cake can be resumed with less is more, since couples preferred to opt for smaller cake without compromising elegance, sofistication and colours.
Covid-19 pandemic has hit wedding industry badly, but as people are getting vaccinated and we have more weapons to fight against this pandemic we can also start planning small and middle-size gatherings. Many couples are now scheduling their weddings, booking services and the wedding planning coordination is starting again. However, we should consider that there is no “zero risk” event anymore, what we can do is to limit the risk and take all the necessary precautions.
One thing we know for sure: weddings will be different but we will keep creating unique experiences for our couples.
Here some useful tips if you are planning to get married in 2021 or 2022:
Try to opt for an outdoor venue, in case you choose an indoor venue make sure there is the right amount of windows for ventilation purposes and that it’s big enough based on the number of your guests.
Reduce the guest list and opt for a mid-size event instead of a big wedding.
Live-stream your wedding, for people who do not feel safe to come, people that you had to cut from the guests list for COVID reasons, or people who are doing a quarantine can be there with you.
Plan the seating arrangements smartly so that your guests will have the right security distance and there are no more than 8 people at each table. You might want to place at the same table people from the same household and do not mix people.
Use signals on the floor to make people aware of the distance they have to keep at the buffet table or at the bar. Try to personalize them based on your wedding theme.
Create one or two “sanitizing station” where your guests can find hand sanitizer and masks. Also place a basket with those items in each bathroom.
Encourage your guests and wedding suppliers to do a COVID-19 test 24 hours before the wedding. You can also make arrangements and pay them. Depending on the country a negative test could be mandatory to take part in indoor event.
Send your guests the safety protocols to follow few days before the event to make sure that everybody is on the same page and avoid misunderstandings.
After the wedding keep track of your guests and make sure to have all the contact numbers of guests and suppliers in case of unexpected COVID-19 cases.
Las but not least get yourself a wedding planner, you will really need it now.
