2019 has just begun and with that comes fresh, new wedding ideas. From colorful confetti to hand-illustrated invitations, here are some of our favorite trends that we’ll be seeing at weddings this year.

Wow-worthy confetti moments

There’s no denying that social media plays a major role in wedding planning. And while wedding hashtags have taken over our newsfeeds over the past few years, this year we’ll see couples putting more of a focus on perfecting their wow-worthy confetti moment. Here’s a friendly tip: the more color and confetti, the better! This is the perfect way to exit your ceremony and head into your reception!

Two wedding bands

Stacking rings has been a popular fashion trend over the years and many brides are now incorporating this trend onto their ring finger. From stackable wedding bands to two contrasting wedding bands and even ring guards, there are a variety of ways we’ll be seeing brides rocking two wedding bands on their ring fingers this year. Ring guards are often the most popular choice for brides because they add symmetry and balance to their ring finger. They also help protect their engagement ring from getting bumped and banged as well. For the brides looking to add not one, but two wedding bands to their finger, online jeweler, Blue Nile, has an incredible collection of wedding bands on their site. This allows you to easily shop for your personalized wedding ring set.

2019 Wedding Trends What to Expect this Year

Three piece suits

This year we’ll be seeing grooms suiting up in their best three-piece suits and the styles will be sharper than ever. Think perfectly tailored and flawlessly fitted designs. A three piece suit is a great option for grooms because as the ceremony ends and the reception starts, the jacket can be removed and shirt sleeves rolled up for a comfortable and confident, more relaxed look, perfect for the dance floor.

Scented candles

For many newlyweds, candles have been a popular decor option for creating a romantic mood during their special day. This year, we’ll be seeing more and more couples opting for their favorite scented candles for a different reason. Scented candles not only transform a couple’s wedding ambiance, they can also create a scented memory to enjoy and reminisce for years to come. Expect to smell the newlyweds favorite scents at weddings this upcoming year.

Hand-illustrated invitations

Let’s face it, wedding invitations are one of the few forms of mail we receive these days. And they’re certainly the most exciting. Many couples are choosing to kick their invitations up a notch by commissioning hand-illustrated designs. This is a great way to personalize your invitations and get your guests excited about your special day. It’s also common for illustrations to be used throughout all wedding stationary and can even be used as a unifying narrative throughout the decor.
