what are the 2023 wedding trends?
if you’re wondering what is the next wedding trend or what are the wedding trends for 2023, we’ve got plenty of wedding trend predictions to share. we’re breaking down trends you’ll likely see at the top bridal shops in dallas and even how to shop some of these styles yourself.
lace veil with blusher
while veils have always been a staple of bridal looks, veil designs and veil lengths have gone in and out of style. picking the perfect veil for your wedding dress is tricky and can leave brides wondering how to choose the right wedding veil for your dress.
one wedding veil trend that we see resurfacing is long dramatic veils. an eye-catching detail that adds to the drama of veils is lace trim blusher layers. whether wearing a short veil with a satin trim blusher or a long veil with a cut tulle blusher, blusher veils seem to be making a return.
at this styled chapel wedding in kaufman, texas, a lace mantilla veil added to the romantic and vintage vibes at this minimal micro wedding. taking photos with the blusher layer covering the face as well as shots with the lace edging framing the bodice of the gown, this traditional mantilla veil made quite the impact. ethereal and classic, this shoot showed off popular ways to wear your mantilla wedding veil.
micro wedding venues
smaller wedding ceremonies and receptions with a more intimate feel are all the rage. with micro weddings increasing in popularity, so are small intimate wedding venues.
while smaller venues such as the emerson venue can accommodate up to 150 guests, we often see our brides opting for a smaller guests count. wanting their wedding day to be an intimate celebration with their closest family members and friends, we think minimonies and small weddings will continue to be a trend in 2023.
edgy wedding dresses
while we’re definitely still seeing brides flock to fun wedding dresses with classic or traditional details, edgy wedding looks are continuously being asked for.
with brides wanting a unique wedding dress that is more aligned with their personal style, we’re seeing an increased demand for colored wedding dresses, bridal separates, bridal jumpsuits, short wedding dresses, and more.
