Providing your guests with lots of fun entertainment is a trend we expect to continue into 2024. With so much choice available, from axe throwing and bouncy castles to glitter bars and ice cream vans, there is something for everyone. Ask your chosen supplier if they can add some colour to their entertainment, such as themed props or balloons. Grand floral displays are a great way of incorporating your chosen colour scheme and will make a real statement in your photographs. Veils are also growing in popularity, but that doesn’t mean you need to stick to the traditional white look. Look at adding flowers to your veil, pearls, or even having it embroidered to include your wedding date. Bright and bold Contrary to the more subtle weddings we’ve seen in the past few years, weddings are now full of lots of colours, textures, and patterns. Don’t be afraid to go all out; if your venue has an impressive ceiling, why not make it a feature? Add hanging chandeliers, flowers, paper cranes, or even disco balls. Cakes are more than just something sweet to eat, they’re a great way of incorporating your chosen theme. If you want to make a statement, talk to your cake maker about ways to incorporate statement colours, flavours, and embellishments. Your theme can stretch past your décor; colourful wedding dresses and mismatched bridesmaids’ dresses are both on the rise. A bold gown is a great way to incorporate your personality into your day. If budget allows, consider a more traditional dress for the ceremony, and surprise your guests with a costume change later in the evening. Metallics are just as popular as ever and tie in well with most colour schemes. Opt for metallic cutlery, stands for your centrepieces, charger plates, and candle holders to add a luxurious feel to the day. This year, we’ve seen weddings full of bright and bold hues, and we expect this trend to continue into 2024.

Neon signs are fun and quirky and will definitely get your guests talking. These can be personalised to say your names or wedding date and look great as photo booth backdrops. 70
