2022: The Year of the Wedding

2022 is the year of the wedding – it’s official. Since so many of us have had to postpone our special day, we’re finally ready to make it happen. There are also plenty of lucky people that have recently got engaged (congrats to you!), so needless to say, this year will be weddings-galore.

Like every year though, there are plenty of trends that are shaping up to be the ‘next big thing’ when it comes to the big day and even before. So, to help you out, we’ve gathered a small list of things to keep in mind if your wedding date is set for 2022.

Get ready for some serious wedding-inspo

There are plenty of places to start taking inspiration from for your wedding, though we know you’ll probably have a Pinterest board or two already… Undoubtedly, the best place to get a bit of inspo from is actual weddings – and we’ve planned plenty of them! From the city to the countryside and even abroad, Marble Private has played its part in many couples’ special days. So, if you’re looking for aesthetic mood boards and a bit more detail about how we made it happen, be sure to check out our portfolio.

Attend events and shows

There will likely be a wedding fair in your area in the next few months and there’s no time like the present to check them out. And what show is more spectacular and memorable than The National Wedding Show? From February to April, the National Wedding Show will be on the move throughout the UK, showcasing the best photographers, cake makers, dress designers and wedding planners the country has to offer. If you’re interested, be sure to book your tickets in advance, as there’s no guarantee that they’ll stick around for long.

Keep an ear out for the latest trends

Thank goodness we live in the age of the podcast. And we’re particularly lucky to have some of the best wedding-themed podcasts around. If you’re planning your wedding, the first thing you’ll want to do is hear about others’ experiences, get advice, and of course, ideas to help with your own preparations. So, we’re here to set you on some of the best wedding podcasts of the moment. Ready? Here goes:

• Bridechilla

Make sure to stay up to date with what’s in

The typical wedding has changed its identity drastically over the decades, and that’s not stopping just because some have been postponed over the last few years. Trends and traditions have been shaping our wedding days since the dawn of the union, so if you want to know what’s in and what’s out, you’ll want to keep up to date with current news. Moss Bros are already talking about sequel weddings and Vogue is predicting that themed parties will be making a comeback, while sustainability is on everyone else’s minds. From virtual save the dates to biodegradable confetti, we recommend you follow blogs and magazines to stay in the know.

Speak to the experts

The best way to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible is to rely on a team that has done it all before. It’s likely your first time getting married, but even if it’s not, there’s so much to organise and manage, you don’t want to get bogged down in the fine details and focus on the important things and having a good, stress-free time. At Marble Private, our team has plenty of event planning experience – it’s our speciality – so be sure to reach out for help with your special day.

Conclusion

If you’ve set 2022 as the date for your wedding, whether you’ve been waiting a long or a short time to tie the knot, you’ll want to make sure that your day will be as special and as memorable as possible. We hope these ideas come in handy, but if you’re still looking for more, make sure you read our other articles and reach out if you need any support with your wedding preparations!
