Guest blog collaboration Smitten Weddings x Calleo. With a range of new and exciting trends in the wedding industry, planning a 2024 wedding promises to be an exciting journey filled with fresh ideas and innovative approaches to celebrating love. Here are five ways to make your special day unforgettable. From incorporating the charm of retro wedding dresses to adding a touch of musical magic with a saxophonist and the sentimental Calleo Audio Guest Book, these trends will elevate your wedding.
1. Retro Wedding Dresses: A Vintage Twist
Vintage-inspired wedding dresses are making a strong comeback in 2024. Brides are embracing the elegance of the past with gowns that draw inspiration from the iconic styles of the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Think flowing sleeves, delicate lace, and intricate beadwork.
2. Audio Guest Book: Cherish Moments in Sound
A Calleo Audio Guest Book captures the hearts of couples and guests alike. Instead of traditional written messages, couples are opting to record audio messages from their loved ones. By capturing heartfelt, spoken words, you create a lasting memory that can be listened to for years to come. Your Audio Guest Book becomes a treasured keepsake, preserving the voices and emotions of those who shared in the joy of the day.
3. A Celebrant-Crafted Ceremony: Personalised and Meaningful
Couples are increasingly seeking personalised ceremonies that reflect their unique love stories and values. Collaborate with a skilled celebrant (such as Faye Elizabeth Event Services featured below) to craft a ceremony that is meaningful, heartfelt, and one-of-a-kind. This trend allows you to share your journey in a deeply personal way, making your wedding day truly unforgettable. Find out more about celebrants here.
4. Saxophonist Serenades: Elevate the Atmosphere
Live music always adds a touch of magic to weddings, and in 2024, the saxophonist is taking centre stage. The soulful tones of a saxophone can set the mood for various parts of the wedding, from the ceremony to the reception. Whether it's a smooth jazz melody during the cocktail hour or a lively serenade on the dance floor, a talented saxophonist can elevate the atmosphere and create unforgettable moments.
5. Must-Have: Wedding Planner
