Wedding Challenges, Conquests & Savvy Celebrations in the Age of Covid
All You Need is Love!
Read about the wedding trends you’ll be seeing in 2022 and get ready to plan!
In 2022, the millennial demographic is now marrying, and they have overtaken the baby boomer generation with their fresh attitudes and a new vision. They are socially conscious and practice inclusivity and sustainability and they view their lives much differently than the generation that preceded them. They aren’t traditionalists, but they do know what they deem important and they are adamant about adhering to those beliefs.
More couples are eloping, being wed in civil ceremonies, and hosting intimate and cozy micro-events, due to the virus. They are marrying every day of the week now, and they are spending more time and care focusing on writing and reciting their wedding vows.
Ceremonies and micro-receptions will continue to be hosted outdoors in intimate settings; using parks, waterfront properties, barns, large tents, backyards, and other unique locations, for their smaller guest counts.
Pop-up weddings are beginning to surface in the U.S. as an efficient way to host a wedding. Couples agree to share a beautifully decorated space, at a set price, with other brides and grooms. It’s practical, efficient, and an innovative way to keep the budget manageable with others who are marrying on the same day.

Choosing a Florist

 

The first step in choosing a florist is to make an appointment to discuss ideas and to look at the florist’s work. The experienced florist usually has limitless ideas and should be able to work within any couple’s budget.

A first consultation with a florist will often last one to two hours, so it is important to call ahead for an appointment and to allow plenty of time.

Since the style of the gown and formality of the wedding will play an important role in choosing coordinating
flowers and designs, many florists ask for
fabric swatches and photographs of the bridal gown and bridesmaids’ dresses.

Come with open minds, for the florist will surely have a bountiful bouquet of fresh ideas guaranteed to make any wedding unique.

Favours and Bomboniere

The presenting of a wedding token is an adaptation of a 16th Century French custom that was reserved for nobles and kings.

The objects were originally of great value; gold, enamel, precious stones, ivory, mother-of-pearl or porcelain. When introduced into other European courts,  handmade lace, hand blown glass and sugar coated candy were often substituted.

Today, chocolates or chocolate truffles are sometimes substituted, but more and more, you will see unique and interesting ideas at each table setting at the reception. Hot sauces, hand-milled soaps, lip gloss, hand-poured candles, roasted coffee beans,. tea and lottery tickets are but some of the great ideas we have seen in the last number of years.

The favour itself is beautifully wrapped and tied with a ribbon. Personalized with the couple’s name or initials, and wedding date, guest mementos add a charming touch to the festivities and make your wedding even more memorable for those attending.
