For brides-to-be with a “2020” date on the calendar, there are some intriguing new trends in the wedding industry to consider in their planning. These fun, creative ideas can help you personalize your ceremony and be head of the curve. Birkat Elyon has long been a leader in another trend: choosing glamorous, affordable CZ jewelry.

GO BIG
At the other end of the trend spectrum for intimate, casual “micro-weddings,” is the 2020 trend to go more than a little over the top. Oversize décor and centerpieces, big floral arrangements and other “statements” are on wedding planners’ radar. You can take it a step further by bringing guests into the reception area, surrounded by things like fireworks. Think in terms of taking your guests’ breath away.
POCKETS
Considering that we carry our phones with us every minute of the day, its no surprise that online searches for “wedding gowns with pockets” are up a staggering 83 percent. A pocket(s) on the gown is handy not just for holding the phone, but a teeny lipstick and maybe a few tissues.
ECO-WEDDINGS
More couples are looking for ways to leave as small a “footprint” as possible from their celebration. Digital invitations over paper ones, going plastic-free, offering to later plant a tree in the name of each guest (as a wedding favor)…these are just a few clever ways to move your “Big Day” into the “sustainable” category.
BOLD, SUPER-CREATIVE FLORALS
Wedding guests in 2020 will be seeing rich, lush colors in the florals used. This goes for everything from the centerpieces to the bouquets. Working off of that trend are ingenious ways to incorporate those florals into other aspects: hair weaves for the bridesmaids, flowers frozen in ice cubes. Add pops of color throughout your ceremony.
FRESH ENTERTAINMENT IDEAS
The photo booth is soooo over. Trends for 2020 wedding receptions include things like Tarot card readers, and wait staff dressed in costumes that reflect an interest of the couple (think “Star Wars”).
SAVORY OVER SWEET
One of the tastier wedding trends for 2020 is opting out of traditional “sweet” dessert options like mini wedding cakes in favor of artisanal cheese boards or cheese towers, accompanied by delicious bread and crackers. Chow down!
