Dramatic Overskirts
Since many couples today are opting for second looks at their weddings, designers have been finding ways to provide options that allow brides to get more bang for their buck. For those who want a dramatic shape for only a portion of their wedding, an overskirt provides the flexibility to easily remove layers of fabric and reveal a more fitted silhouette. Multiple designers like Enaura embraced this trend by pairing sleek column dresses with gorgeous overskirts with full trains to create an elegant contrast in shape. We also saw the rise of hemlines at Reem Acra and Monique Lhuillier with sexy minis made formal with overskirts for a ceremony to after-party transition.

The 2024 Dress Trends from NYBFW
Last week, the bridal world came together for one of the most exciting New York Bridal Fashion Weeks in recent years. Designers showcased their fall 2024 collections with grand runway shows, packed presentations, and market showcases that highlighted the growing boom of the bridal industry and clearly indicated that the bridal space is getting creative, with plenty of bold designs that push the envelope.
Floral Appliqués
While florals may be synonymous with spring, almost every fall collection brought in the motif in fresh ways. One standout trend was the use of appliqués to create unique 3D floral moments. From sweet rosettes at the bustlines of dresses at Alexandra Grecco to textural white and light green petals along a stunning column dress by Monique Lhuillier to grand organza additions in Milla Nova’s gender-neutral capes and jackets, these designs are proving that flowers are blooming in the wedding season ahead.

More Outfit Changes

"Brides love to escape their wedding gown in favor of an eye-catching second look. But how about a third? We’re seeing brides take on a second outfit change, often during key transition times, such as after cocktail hour and before the after party," says Coyne. This is the time to break out your dramatic sequined caftan that comes before the late-night mini.
Intimate, Low-Key Weddings

"2024 will bring events that are less over-the-top spectacles and more intimate, friendly, and accessible, where the feeling is warmth and communality, and not how big the floral arrangements are," says wedding planner Arney Walker. She’s already seeing the evolution towards these more laid-back affairs, even with her luxury clients.
After Parties

"In 2024, couples are prioritizing those fun extra layers to their events, with afterparties becoming an equally important part of the celebrations," says Laurie Arons, founder and owner of Laurie Arons. "These late-night parties allow couples to play around with design and themes, and lean into their personalities and bolder aesthetics."
Cocktail Experiences

"Incorporating Omakase cocktails into your wedding creates a dazzling drink experience that will surprise and delight," says Carizza Rose, Creative Director at 24 Carrots Catering & Events. "These are perfectly bespoke beverages that elevate cocktail hour." Serving something beyond the standard specialty cocktail adds a curated first impression touch that sets the tone—and appeals to your discerning foodie guests.

Unique Wedding Ideas to Wow Your Guests
Looking for some inspiration? Here are some distinctive ideas—from catering selections to personalized décor to bouquet ideas—that can help make your big day stand out.
Make Fruit the Favor
For favors that guests will actually use, set up a “farm stand” of fresh fruit and small baskets (or mini crates) that they can fill on their way out the door. Another fun idea is to adorn apples or pears with personalized stickers that contain your names or a pun along the lines of "we make a pear-fect couple."
Go Neon
There’s no denying the charm of a wooden sign or the elegance of a mirrored sign, but everyone uses them. Opt for something creative that reflects your theme, like a fun neon sign with a sweet love-centric slogan. For the reception, consider incorporating a neon sign with your wedding hashtag as a photo booth backdrop.
Don't Forget a Map
If you’re having a destination wedding or have a lot of guests coming from out of town, including a map of the area your wedding will be in with your invitations—after all, they’ll be spending the whole weekend there!
Have Fun With Seating
Instead of benches or chairs, select distinctive seating that reflects your wedding style for your ceremony, like floor cushions or these laidback tree stumps painted with tribal print. While it's easy to get caught up in the aesthetic, make sure that the seating you choose is comfortable. Bales of hay, poufs, and ottomans are all worth looking into if there's a specific vibe you're looking to recreate.

Cocktail Towers
Add some fun to your wedding reception with well-stacked cocktail towers for wedding ideas. Whether you’ll be having a designated bar or not, this can be an entertaining part of your celebration.
Planners tip: If you are collecting outdoor wedding ideas on a budget for a more pocket-friendly event, then this is a great idea. If you find yourself out of a professional bar or bartender, a cocktail tower poured by the couple after cutting of the cake, or even the best man, can take care of all that.

Create a Bespoke Chill-Out Zone
Every wedding should have a chill-out zone, where guests can relax and chat when they want a break from dancing. Use cushions and blankets from your home to create a comfortable, unique outdoor seating area. If you'd prefer not to use your own homewares, you can get some bargains on eBay, or from High Street brands such as H&M Home.

Edible Smoke Bubble Cocktails
Constellation Culinary Group, the exclusive catering company for the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach has noticed a few new trends emerge but also some disappear. It seems as though couples are looking to bring that ‘wow’ factor to their weddings with over-the-top beverage displays and activities. The Constellation team has seen edible smoke bubble cocktails as a consistent request for 2023 weddings. The bubbles are edible so guests can taste the alcohol or flavor as they take a sip of the drink. Champagne towers are also making a comeback. The classic fashion visual is returning to set the high-end vibe on a couples special day.
