Weddings are evolving in fun new ways! Birkat Elyon is in the business of providing couples with beautiful, high-quality cubic zirconia rings for their engagement and wedding. We’ve got the scoop on some cool trends to consider for your own 2024 wedding.
LAID-BACK BRIDAL PARTIES
Instead of cookie-cutter dresses and stiff formal photos, brides are opting to let their bridesmaids be more chill. The trend is to let them choose their own dress (within a certain color palette) and to be seated for the official pictures.
DRESS CODES FOR GUESTS
We’re not talking “uniforms” here – rather asking your guests to stick to a color palette in their attire. It looks fantastic in photos and is a fun way to tie your wedding theme together.
MORE “LOOKS” FOR THE BRIDE
Many brides are opting to change out of their wedding gown for a second – even third – “look” during the party. These outfits are timed around key transitions like before the cocktail hour or the afterparty PS – add some extra “bling” to that look with one of our dazzling cubic zirconia rings!
BAG THE BRUNCH
The day-after brunch is always awkward since guests may either want to sleep in or get a jump on their travel. The new thing is to host fun events, like a wine tasting or pickleball tournament, before the wedding rather than after. If you DO host a brunch, make the start time later in the morning.
SMALLER WEDDINGS
The days of big, over-the-top spectacles are waning. More couples are choosing to throw smaller, more intimate ceremonies. The emphasis is on warmth, friendship, and a sense of community versus oversized table decorations and lots of glam. On that same note, more couples are discovering how smart cubic zirconia rings are as an alternative to expensive, non-sustainable diamonds. They’re more affordable, friendlier to the environment, and allow you to spend your money on the things that really matter.
RETRO TRENDS
Everything old is new again! Couples are looking for photographers/videographers who can replicate a nostalgic Super-8 “home movie” look or bakers who create vintage-style cakes. The idea is to add a timeless feel to your modern-day ceremony.
