New and exciting interests are popping up in the wedding world and gaining a lot a traction. Be it social media or just the collective style of those getting hitched at present, “vintage” has been an underlying theme across all areas of wedding planning. A few of our other favorite trends right now tend to center around photography and capturing the magic of a wedding.
The first trend we’re seeing pop up more on social, as well as in our submitted real weddings, is the use of 35mm camera film to capture photos. There’s a lot of background on the mechanics of 35mm film, but we love the nostalgic feeling that comes along with the photos. Not only can they be chic and glamorous, but it’s like looking at photos from a wedding decades ago. We would suggest making sure your photographer specializes in this photography, because something that can be dreamy can quickly become cringy without the right eye to ensure the perfect shot.

In the same photography vain, there’s a recent trend involving guests, the photographer and sunglasses that we absolutely love. Many couples have opted for taking a pair of sunglasses – sometimes adorned with the date and the couple’s initials – and having their guests put them on for a photo. They’ve displayed these photos as a quick video with the glasses never moving in the frame, but the guest changing. This could also be a fun way for a couple to document who was in attendance, or even use it as a memorable art piece for their home.

This last trend, we’re still unsure about so it’s more of a “like” than a “love.” Growing in popularity is the use of round tables, or “caterpillar tables,” in reception seating. Essentially, these are circular tables that are arranged in a skewed or wave pattern next to each other with seating most of the way around. Aesthetically, we can understand how this trend could be popular. Logistically, this would only work (in our opinion) for smaller, more intimate weddings. Trying to seat 200 or more guests at connected round tables could get tricky. The setups we’ve seen that we love are of various vineyard, European weddings. In this case, we whole-heartedly approve.
