Is Orange the Wedding Colour for 2026? We Think So!
Pantone may have named white as the colour of the year, but we say it is orange. Here’s why orange is THE wedding colour for 2026.
2017 wedding trends part 1
I’ve been reading loads and loads about 2017 wedding trends from various sources – this part of my blog, has been put together after researching wedding trends 2017 and has been developed from a review of around 16 websites and articles and also extracts from the Wedding Trend Report 2017 produced by the International Academy of Wedding and Event Planning.
Over the next few blogs, I’m going to address each of the main wedding trends and how we are responding to those trends…
Trend 1 – Having the wedding, reception and party in one place i.e. not changing the venue - make it easy for your guests to move from one important part of the celebration to the next while containing the energies for a more intimate and fulfilling wedding experience. The various parts of the farm and having exclusive use, enables your guests to make the most out of having the farm as your wedding venue – your guests are free to wander where they like, have fun with games or dancing, catch up with relatives, have a dance, experience live music, enjoy delicious food, have plenty to drink, chat around the fire pit or in the tipi – it’s relaxed informal fun at its best.
Trend 2 - paper - whether it's in floral bouquets, backdrops, incorporated into your big-day décor, or used as a way to preserve special wedding "memory moments," incorporating paper into your wedding day is quickly growing in popularity. We’ve witnessed paper bouquets, favours and flower garlands being incorporated into weddings.
Trend 3 - Ditch Receiving Lines – they create a large barrier of etiquette for that celebration — it's too formal. Instead, opt to greet your guests during welcome drinks or a cocktail hour and throughout the night.
Trend 4 – Greenery and wooden decorations - Relaxed country chic, think a rustic style reception with wood, bunting, lantern lights, cowboy boots and lots of flowers. The colouring can be bold or muted, depending on your choice preferences. Rustic is also getting a luxury edge – it’s all about tying back to nature – using organic elements like succulents, wood and moss. Hanging décor such as foliage chandeliers and canopies are huge. Obviously this trend is so us…
Trend 5 – Dining styles - Big this year is family style food – it’s a great way of breaking down any barriers as sharing food is conducive to conversation. Interactive food stations are popular. Family style, intimate dinner parties with long tables and informal arrangements. There will be less big round tables as the tables lack conversation across the wide diameter. Couples want to try and get guests talking and creating their own relationships with people they hardly know and become “part of the family”. This is our most popular wedding reception style of dining ‘rustic fun’.
Trend 7 – Wedding food Millennials are very keen on ethical / local / seasonal sourcing of food. Late night bites are popular as well as casual dining styles and informal wedding food such as BBQs, food stations and buffets. A sense of nostalgia for traditional British food is also a bit of a theme. Bringing your own personality to the food is good – couples are wanting a dining experience and sharing dishes is a great way of doing this. Street food is still popular and South American influences. Local offerings will continue to inspire menus in food and beverage creating memorable meals. More local craft beers and wines paired with locally-sourced menu items incorporated into the events. Trend to see menus that take a more healthy eating approach. The days of endless fried foods are over, as the 2017 wedding menu will feature fresher and healthier light bites made from local ingredients as well as garden-fresh salads prepared with tasty artisan cheeses. We try to source local produce and all our meat comes from our own family butchers.
Trend 8 – Drinks - signature cocktails create personalisation to your wedding. Botanical flavours are still huge using herbs for flavour. Gin is still the spirit of the moment. Craft and local beers are popular. We have our own Gin Bar and try and source quirky local drinks.
Trend 9 – Sustainable weddings – newlyweds put a high value on simplicity, which are characterized by sustainability. Weddings are the ultimate personal statement for couples. Completely customised to feature their favourite foods, florals and traitions. 2017 will be the year of 'urban earthie - brides will make sleek, bold choices that are authentic, warm and romantic!! Opposites attract and the mixing of sophistication and nature will strike a beautiful balance!" Regional and seasonal wedding dinner and other environmentally friendly aspects play a role. The millennials are very passionate about Waste Reduction and the environment. Eco-chic favors and paper – plants as favors, food as favors like cookie recipes and so much more. It is about offering favors that people can utilise and also helping the environment. Sending 100% recycled paper invitations set the tone too. Having been awarded ‘Gold’ by the Green Business Scheme and following sustainable practices hopefully we meet this trend.
Trend 10 – Colours – Rose gold and green is very big this year. Bold colours is also a key trend. Metallic colors are clearly into focus – rose gold, gold and copper are conquering the wedding world and for special highlights at the bridal table, in the location and ensure the bridal look. Muted colors, earthy and pastel shades like brown, kale, caramel and beige are dominant colours in the wedding 2017 – standing for sustainable and natural weddings. "Heritage and back-to-roots themed weddings are coming our way. Aspects of family heritage and more minimalist decor will be incorporated into ceremonies, receptions and even choice of dress / suit. Green is very popular symbolising a reconnection with nature, one another and a larger purpose.
