If you’re planning on getting married next year, you’d probably like to know what’s trending. That way, you can make an informed decision about the direction you want to take your own wedding’s theme. You’ll have a better idea of what’s hot and not, how accessible certain things such as venues and décor are, and ways to personalize your ceremony and reception so they’re on trend but distinctly you.

After studying what industry experts have to say about the subject, we came up with a list of the top wedding trends for 2019 in the United States. Some that may interest you include:

Shades of Purple.

The color of the year is different than the past. You’ll find more bridesmaids and other members of the wedding party wearing different shades of purple. Décor will include purple and you’ll even find grooms wearing it, too. From light colors like periwinkle to darker shades of eggplant, you have options. Mixing and matching different purples creates a cool visual effect that differs from contrasting colors such as gold or black.

Hints of Mother Nature.

More natural elements will be seen at weddings held in 2019. Brides and grooms aren’t afraid to bring more of the outdoors inside. You’ll see more fresh floral centerpieces, leaves, and even pinecones in the upcoming year. Beautiful outdoor settings such as beaches, wooded areas, and even mountains create a breathtaking backdrop that is perfect for photographs.

Dahlias.

Available in a wide range of colors and full of lovely layers, this flower is what florists say will trend in 2019. You can use them as the main flowers in your bouquet and centerpieces. People will be drawn to the petals which are full and plentiful. If you prefer artificial flowers, you can send home the arrangements with wedding guests who will continue to enjoy them throughout the year.

Silver, Chrome, and Glitter.

Say goodbye to rose gold and hello to silver, chrome, and glitter. This trend offers high shine and works well with vibrant colors such as grape. You can have purple as a wedding color and use silver, chrome, and glitter as powerful accents. The sheen that comes off the decorations you choose will complement the shine in you and your partner’s eyes as the day you planned unfolds.

This is a sampling of the trends you’ll see making headlines in 2019. As always, each idea is left to interpretation so that you can customize it to meet your unique vision and needs. The list serves as a starting point to build upon your ideas and make plans for your wedding ceremony and reception.
