Weddings are back, bolder, and better than ever for 2022! It’s expected to be a record-breaking year with over 2.6 million weddings planned in the United States next year. That’s the most weddings in a year here since 1984! 

Next year is all about tossing tradition and embracing unique ideas to express yourselves and wow your guests, from bold colors and trendy “dopamine dressing” to over-the-top themed events and jaw-dropping ceiling florals. Event planners envision larger multi-sensory gatherings that tell a cohesive story, from invitations to menu and décor.

Now is the best time to channel your creativity into a day that reflects your unique vision. We’re sharing the best 2022 wedding trends so you can get a head start on the vision board for your Big Day!...

Planning a wedding is an exciting time. While much of your big day is filled with emotions, there’s a lot of paperwork behind it. When else in your personal life have you hired so many vendors or put down so many deposits?! We get that no one wants to be bogged down by boring details, but reading those contracts can have a considerable impact on how your wedding day goes. As brides over the past two years can tell you, it’s especially essential these days.

Part of getting your dream wedding is making sure your expectations and services are agreed to in writing. And when it comes to worst-case scenarios (think a global pandemic!), it’s so important to fully understand the fine print so you can navigate back up plans like a pro. Not to worry though, we’ll guide you to know what to look for in venue and vendor contracts so you can confidently sign on the dotted line...

Ever been on a dance floor where everyone starts to crowd around that one person totally tearing it up? Some people have this natural ability to dance like it is nobody’s business, while others can barely get by with a two-step. If you and your partner are in that second camp, not to worry.

With a bit of imagination, there are plenty of ways to have fun beyond dancing. So, whether you’re stuck with two left feet or just not feeling the dance party these days, we’re here with our best list of alternative entertainment ideas.

So, rather than being dragged onto the dance floor, you’ll be living it up in your own way. Let your personality and venue be your guide in choosing what works best for your Big Day. Also, please don’t feel like it has to be one or the other. You’re free to steal one of these suggestions and leave that dance floor intact too.
