2020 Wedding Trends


2020 wedding trends are of interest to all newly engaged couples as you begin to define your wedding day. Trends covering the ceremony, fashion, reception, floral and more aspects of the wedding day are documented in many publications and websites.

Interestingly, you’ll find that the identified 2020 wedding trends differ from article to article and even conflict with each other at times. That tells us that there isn’t a definitive list of trends for the year. Want your ceremony to be unique, to reflect you, and to provide your guests with a positive, memorable experience? To do that, you’ll want to be aware of trends, but choose among them wisely.

Some interesting articles on 2020 wedding trends can be found at The Knot and Brides. The 2020 wedding trends article in Wedding Wire begins with the observation that wedding trends don’t really matter that much. That it’s great to be aware of them, but to incorporate only those that resonate with you and your partner.

I second the advice to embrace only those trends that speak to you. And you can pick and choose parts of trends, too. For example, some are predicting that bolder colors will be on display at weddings this year. There are certain colors like Classic Blue that are supposed to be very popular. But if you love the idea of lots of color at your wedding but prefer a bright red or a forest green, go for it. Consider the identified trends, decide if they fit your vision for your wedding day, and if so, make it your own.

Spend some time thinking about what is important to you for your wedding day. Talk to your partner to find out if their thinking aligns with yours. You might discover something is really important to them, and you didn’t know. With your priorities established, you’re ready to go.

As you start finalizing plans for your wedding, remember your budget. No matter how wonderful your day is, if it leaves you in debt or stressed over how much you spent, it is not worth it. There are many levers you can pull to control the spending on your wedding day. If you keep in mind the priorities you set as a couple, you’ll be able to make trade-offs without adversely impacting the overall experience.

With an awareness of 2020 wedding trends, and with your personal style and priorities as a couple in mind, you’re sure to create a wedding day that reflects you perfectly. Your guests will enjoy seeing your personalities shine through all the aspects of your day, and you’ll feel comfortable and relaxed as you enjoy it fully.
